#446 Title

If anyone speaks English and is willing to help, I desperatly need it!

My great-grandfather Anders Petros Lofgren and his wife claimed (in the U. S. Census) to have come to the U.S. in 1880, settling in New Gottland, McPherson County, Kansas.  He also claimed on naturalization papers to have arrived in the U. S. 27 May 1868 having embarked from Gothenburg.  His father was with them in Kansas and is listed in the 1880 Census as "O" Lofgren.  He changed the family name from Lofgren to Logan sometime between 1880 and 1900.

If anyone can help me, I would be very appreciative.

  Hi Ann. You might not see this or passing by this site again.

  I wonder if you can give me some hints to follow up a swedish immigrant. I know the regular ways such routes/routines to do that but this person is something special. I actually not really know when he immigrate nor the specific date.

  I am not so familiar with the US systems. If you would like to inform me more about this subject I will be more than glad.

  If so please mail me to lennartsanor@telia.com

  Maybe I can help you with something

  regards

  Lennart
