This is an ongoing research project
and will be updated as information is obtained. If you would like to add
to this list, please use the Contact Us Link at
Left.
Please note that there are many variances in name
spelling. If you are researching genealogy, please remember to try
several variations of the name. Also remember that many names were
changed upon arriving in America. For example, Johanson, Johannsson,
Josenberg, etc. may have been changed to Johnson. Maja may have been
changed to Mary. Erikksson may have been changed to Erickson. Remember
to try several variations of both first names and last names. If
possible, try to reference other documents that may list parents names.
When in question, it's usually best to look at the parents names to try to
determine if the person you're looking for is the same one as listed on
these pages. There also seems to be differences in records, depending
upon who is giving the information. Some may be as minor as a man
reporting his occupation as a miner, while his son's application lists his
father's occupation as a clay miner. Others can be more difficult
when a woman lists her birthplace as Grassflat but on her daughter's
marriage application, she lists her mother's birthplace as Peale. When
the birthplace is in question, it's usually best to obtain a birth record
from the
Vital Records Office.
The people listed on this page have a Grassflat, Peale or
immediately surrounding area, connection.
