Hi, I'm searching for anyone related to Bengt and Lena Johnson. I have some history written by Normie Wickland, a Grandson. I'm search for more. Thanks.
I am attempting to locate more information about my great great grandfather. I have his obituary from the Swedeburg Newspaper, but little else as to his contributions to Swedeburg. His name is Ola or Olaf Pearson, depending on which letter you read. He came from Sweden in 1869 and helped found the town of Swedeburg. If you can provide with any more information or where to look, I'd appreciate it. Thank you.

I am looking for information on Theodore P. Totten who lived in Saunders County until his death in 1913. He was married to Nella I. Howe. She died in 1920 also in Saunders County. They either owned or operated a hotel in Ashland until their deaths. Nella's father Phillip Howe lived with them. I believe the hotel is called the Burlington. They are both buried in Greenwood, Jackson County, Missouri. Thank you for any help that you can provide on this mystery.
I believe that the "Past and Present of Saunders County, Nebraska" Charles Perkey, Supervising Editor; mentions some of my family. Chapter III, talks about my GGGfather, John Smith and my GGGGfather, Mr. Aldrich coming from Wisconsin in 1860. John Smith was married to Mary Aldrich. They lived near Perry Tarpenning and Tarpenning married into Smith family, I would sure like more information.
