My husband is James (Jim) Hope Castor, Jr. His grandfather was John (Johan) F. Sjogren. He was born in Sweden, and came to live in Chicago, IL. in the late 1880's. John married Amanda Johnson, and they had two daughter's, Elsa(Elsie) and Marie. Amanda died when the girls were very young. John then married Ida Mensching. They raised the two girls.
Marie gave birth to a baby girl, named her Virginia Marie Sjogren, born July 3, 1918, I believe. Virginia was basically raised by her grandfather John and step-grandmother Ida. John and Ida died a tragic death by carbon monoxide, on Memorial Day, 1940 or 1942. Virginia married young to James Hope Castor. She lost track of her mother and aunt Elsie. Any information on the Sjogren family, would be very much appreciated.
Thank you,
Sandy Castor
