Hej Jan,
Thanks for the comments. Oh, I wouldn't cheat ;-). No seriously, I don't actually read Swedish, per se. But, I have learned enough words from looking at Anbytarforum and translating by hand with a dictionary that I can get the gist of many conversations. It also helps some that I know German. Just don't ask me to write anything in Swedish... 8-)
Yes, I'm sure such coincidences aren't unusual. I simply couldn't resist this one since it involved a two separate connections, one old and one current. And I was serious about getting a photo of the house, it's just right down the street.
>(Frans Bengtsson > Frank Benson?) Good guess. Frank's birth name was actually Filipus Ferdinand Bengtsson. He changed and Americanized it to Frank Philipus Benson. His brothers kept the Bengtsson/Bengtson spelling although I think many of their descendants have also switched to Benson by now.
