Thank you

Thank you very much!!!

Chuck,
I really didn´t hope for him belonging to a church; all single men I have been looking for don´t seem to belong to anything..... so it was a nice surprise! Maybe he´ll turn up somewhere.

Karen,
thank you for the adress. I will try to get a copy from the Minnesota Historical Society.

Kevin
Thanks for the Hjelms. Unfortunately I don´t have a name on Johannas husband (yet).

Midge,
I think Tyler Lofdahl is a relative of ours, thanks for the adress!

Jeannette
Thanks for the Nybecks, I don´t know at the moment who they are but maybe I find them somewhere. There is a big Nybäck family here around Oravais!

Nybeck

Thank you Kevin, I don´t mind at all!
Even if I don´t know at the moment who these people are, I´m sure I´ll find out. Oravais is not a big place and I believe the Nybäcks (the spelling used here) are all related. I will tell someone about it.....

Simon Edvin was my husbands grandfathers brother. I talked to Edvins niece on the phone yesterday and hope that she will find an old adress to him.....

Thank you Alicia. I have to look at John... I know there is a Lövdahl family around Vasa...

I´m so glad that you all are trying to help me!!!
Have a nice day
Ann-Marie

Simon Edwin Lofdahl

Karen,
I have ordered a copy of his death registration from the Minnesota Historical Society.
What about the Naturalization records. How do I find/order that? Is it expensive?

Thank you
Ann-Marie

Simon Edwin Lofdahl Nat. Records

If you know the county in which he lived, that might give some information and then you can get a record from the national archives or that particular county.

Naturalization

This is what Karen found for me:

He is also found in the Minnesota Naturalization Records Index 1854-1957, Duluth county. Reel 20, code 52, vol. 20, pg. 247.

but I don´t know what to do.....

Minn. Historical Soc. might help here also

The historical society may be able to direct you to where you can order a copy of the naturalization papers. If not, find a Duluth / St Louis County / Minn website and they should be able to handle it for you.

Anne-Marie,
Please have a look at this link. It is part of the Iron World Research Center. I have used them in the past to obtain copies of my great grandfather's naturalization papers. I believe the cost was $10.00USD. Ask them if they'll mail to Finland. They accept credit cards for payment.

They were VERY helpful and very friendly. Hopefully it will work out for you!

in response to the information on John Lovdahl, I believe he is the same person we knew. He was married to a relative of my Grandmother, Helena Sophia Nygard Holm(lund)

Edvin Löfdahl

I want to thank you all for helping me with Edvin!
I have now recieved a copy of his Death Certificate from the Minnesota Historical Society. (8 USD)
I have also recieved copies from the Iron Range Research Center. An Alien Registration and a Declaration of intention. (2*10 USD)
Edvin died on September 26 1939 in Minneapolis in Eitel Hospital.
He lived in 2876 Humbolt Ave. So.
Is this adress familiar to anyone?
Is it possible to find a grave?
On the Death Certificate it says that he is buried at Crystal Lake.

Thanks
Ann-Marie

Anne-Marie, Is Crystal Lake the name of the town or the cemetery? Usually the death certificates give the name of the funeral home/director and the cemetery. I know Crystal Lake is a place in Illinois, near Chicago, so this is probably the name of the cemetery. I will see what I can find. Karen
