Was this his profession?

Baddar was a very common name in Malax. There are many Baddars among the descendants of Daniel Kiöping - book no 1, but no suitable Victor. All Baddars I know came from Malax, and you could try to ask Leo Hallbäck: leo.hallback%40pp.qnet.fi. He might know more Baddar people.

Ann-Marie, I don't know if this is the same guy or not but I found this in the Social Security Death Index. I couldn't find an appropriate Victor in the 1900 or 1910 census. Maybe someone with access to the 1930 census index could check.

Hi,
My parents knew Vic and Hilma, however they never said anything about Vic's pubishing music. When I was about 5 they lived in north Seattle. Mother used to say when we drove through Woodway and passed the old Best Mansion that Hilma was their housekeeper and Vic lived there with her. He had been in logging, I believe. Then they moved up to Anacortes where Vic worked in the plywood company. That's where they both died, I think. Vic 25 June, 1966 in Everett, it says in the Order of Runeberg obituaries. He was probably in a hospital or rest home at that time. Joelle Steele has a photo of her relatives with Vic in the background in her family "book". You might ask her to send you a digitized copy. I think Dick Erickson said he remembers them from when his family lived in Anacortes.
Good luck,
Syrene
