Perhaps if someone could find his Naturlization Record, that would pin down the ship. Brian

US Lookup Requests / Looking for Passenger Lists/Arrival Records for Frederick Oskar Anderson
« on: Yesterday at 17:27 »
Hello,
Looking for Passenger Lists/Arrival/Emigration Records for Frederick Oskar Anderson, who was born in March 3, 1870 in Nysund, Örebro, Sweden, and settled in Chicago by 1910. He was a resident of Nysund, Sweden at least until 1895. He married Ada J Bush in 1900 in Orland Park, Illinois. Thanks for any assistance on his roots as well.

Australia Lookups completed / Re: John Edward Major (1848-1913) Newspaper Lookup

Not sure if there is any Australia connection. John Edward Major's Father (William W Major) co-owned the Lexington Hotel in Virginia, and some members of the Family were friends to Robert E Lee, so maybe they were an ex-Confederate Family looking for friendlier confines, who knows?

Perhaps it is a slight death notice or story unrelated to his death. I have the Sept 6, 1913 newspaper date from My Heritage- I just don't have the page number for the Herald that day.

US Lookup Requests / Re: Looking for Iowa Obit/Death Notice for Alvira Elizabeth (Mansfield) Dawson

Yes, she was Mrs. Greenwood when she died because her 2nd husband was a Greenwood. Her 1st husband David Bennett Dawson, died in 1902, leaving her a Widow for a few years. There seems to have been family relations in Iowa as well, so I could use the Iowa clippings just to examine.

Hello,
Looking for a newspaper story (likely obit or death notice) for Yank John Edward Major (1848-1913) in the The Sydney Morning Herald - Sep 6, 1913. He died Aug 24, 1913. I could really use an image of this.
   Thanks in advance,
   Brian

Canada Lookup Request / Re: Anglican Church stuff for Norman Allen Langley (1905-1980)
« on: Sunday 25 February 24 21:02 GMT (UK)  »
I contacted the Anglican Diocese of Toronto Archives in Decemeber 2023 and they were not able to locate a church record. For a fee they can do a more exhaustive search. See sources at profile of Norman Allan Langley at Familysearch. They were able to confirm him on 1911 Canada Census.
