Greetings!
Seeking parents/siblings of Elna Tureson (Turesson), daughter of Anna Tufvesdatter (Tufuesdatter). Family history says Elna was born at Svenstorp, Hjärsås, Kristianstad Län, about 1820. Svenstorp thought to belong to the Tufvesson/Tufvesdatter family. Elna married Sven Nordgren (marriage date not known). Emigrated to Illinois (USA) between 1850 and 1854.
Thanks you!
S.E. Svenson

In the EMIBAS database of Swedish emigrants I find one ELNA TURESDOTTER, born 1834 Sep.21. at Yngsjö parish, who in 1854 or 1855 emigrated from Åhus parish to Denmark. The birth year is not too good a match though...

Hi Sven,
I have found Sven and Elna now that Galesburg's First Lutheran Church membership list has been indexed and perhaps the information will be new for you.
Give me an email on this.

Hmm, now Sven himself is lost because emails to him have bounced back and a person in his office has told me he has left but they don't have an address for him so I will put basic information here and hope he finds it.

Hoorah!
Just got an email from Sven so he's not lost after all and I've mailed the fotocopies to him.
This all came about because a volunteer at Swenson Swedish Immigration Center had completed making a card index of the membership roll of the lst Lutheran Chuch at Galesburg, Illinois.
So I salute that unnamed person for their years of work!
