The 1900 census shows my gfather emigrated from Sweden in 1869 @ age 8 yrs, with brother and family.  I cannot find record of this family between the years of 1869-1900, and have been told the name originally contained the letters iej, but was anglicanized.  What does Burgeson mean, and  is there another spelling  that would apply.  I am now wondering if the name change occured with my grandfather and not his parents.  
The 1900 census also shows he was naturalized.  
Thanks for any insight into this mystery.
