my name is nicole shogren owen. my great grandfather was Herman shogren he was married to Ida Nelson. I don't know if they are the same. He had glaucoma in both eyes and was blind. my granny ida only spoke swedish and would sing to us. they had 2 kids harold my grandpa and vivian his sister. iv'e seen the census w/ judiths name but i'm not sure if they were related maybe if you have any pics of them it would help to see if their features are alike. check out my tree i'm stuck on them to. i had a claus as a father i think to herman i search so much i can't remember where i found it but it could be wrong. i'm searching books and sites all over:) maybe we r related : )
