Greetings: I am trying to confirm that my Louis Lunn (Americanized name) is in fact Lars Larsson from Råda, Ekshärad area. On the Venjan discussion board, I have a reference to all of my Swedish family detail. See: http://aforum.genealogi.se/discus/messages/44/7912.html?1128054014
The following information is from CD Emibas Post 751486 Persson, Lars Ägare (married man) b. 3/9/1823 in Ekshärad, Värmlands län (Värmland) Emigrated 6/13/1887 from Råda, Ekshärad, Värmlands län (Värmland) to Nordamerika Source: Household Examination Roll, p. 162 Emibas migration file ID: Ekshärad S 1887 044
Here are the details of the oral family history I have, with no records, other than his naturalization papers. Please someone see if you can find my family in the Råda or Ekshärad parish records that proves my Louis Lunn is Lars Larsson. Thank you very much. - Donna ------------- Facts known in America Details: Lars (Louis Lunn) Larsson Born 20 Dec 1855 Father = Lars Perrson Mother = Marit Arrived in US July 18,1886(age approx. 31)
Siblings who also emigrated to America are: Annie, born 1865, married Benjamin Benson Belle, married John Carlson
Family Story about Louis's famly back in Sweden: Meanwhile Louis Lunn, son of Lars Person and Marit Larson was growing up, immigrating to Mid-America and spring out the land for a place to settle. When he found land along the Rum River north of Princeton, Minnesota -- at that time a lumbering town, he felt at home and took 40 acres. He also talked his sister Annie, and her husband Benjamin Benson into getting 40 acres right to the south of his property. [...] Louis took the name Lunn because he said it meant peaceful valley where they had come from in Sweden. His sisters Annie and Belle took Larson as their last name as was traditional, their father's name being LARS Person. Another sister married a Berglund. She died in childbirth and after her husband remarried, the two families lost contact. Belle married John Carlson and lived near Buffalo Minnesota. Annie and Ben Benson had four children (Arthur, Esther, Anna and Mabel). Louis and Carrie were married in 1892, moved to Princeton, Mn farm early in the 1900's. ------------ If you can find this family in the local parish or census records, please let me know. I would like to somehow confirm Louis Lunn is Lars Larsson and perhaps get photocopies of emigration and/or census household records.
Thank you everyone for any help. Sincerely, Donna Loper dloper3@comcast.net Vancouver, Washington USA
