I am researching great grandparents family from Mead, Nebraska. They settled there around 1884. 7 children. I am grandaughter of Matilda. Others included Vesta Sink, Dorothy Selby, Otto Sjogren, Effie Sjogren, and Rose and Ana (both deceased). My mother was Frances Vesta Leonard Travers. She had a cousin named Bill Selby in Kansas. Also have cousins Vicki Rae (?), Laverne Leonard Schroff and Vickie Leonard (---)? Would appreciate any help out there.

Sjogren/Shugren''s from Mead, Nebraska
Hi Molly. My husband's Grandfather was Carl Otto Shugren. Brother to your Grandmother Matilda. I have recently found refrences on familysearch.com (the LDS web site) that had information back to the 1600's. Put in Nils Karl Sjogren as your search. This was your grandmother's father. Are you related to Darrel Byrd of Midland TX? He was married to my cousin. All the best, Lorna Shugren (spelling changed with Nils)

Re: Sjogren's in Mead, Nebraska
I have just contacted M.Byrd, regarding my mother's uncle Nils Shugren of Mead, Nebraska. I have been searching for relatives since there will be a reunion in Sweden Aug 2-3 for the descendants of his parents Per Isak Shugren and Kerstin Persdotter.
In the 1960's I met Tillie and her daughter Frances Travers but I have lost contact with them. I am anxious to receive any information you can give me.
Thanks.
