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.
