I have been on research trail for last 5 weeks. I was very disappointed in St. Paul information. As to the lady claiming to have info on a sister, I do not believe this is so. I have all the original obits and records for the Schwede family and have traveled through Wisconsin, Minnesota, and ND gathering the records for last five yrs. The Schwedes in Texas and Louisiana are not related to our branch. My mother, Lillian Schwede, born in 1902 to eldest son, William Schwede and Wilhelmina Kohlman, knew great grandfather well. He only mentioned one sibling in US....his brother, August, in Kenosha. I would have to see documentation regarding this claim.. Becky Woods
