August Alexander Leander, Karlskoga, född 1876-05-05

[Rolf Leander]

My uncle August Alexander Leander emigrated to America 1896-09-09 under the familyname Augustsson, but he took immediately Leander as his familyname. 1900 he lived as lodger at Fredrik Olsson on Wendell Street 17, Chicago. On a list of 24.200 gold-miners he is noted living in Nome in 1901, and on the Census of Alaska  (Schedule of Population for 1900) which is a passenger list for the steamers Senator of Los Angeles and Oregon of Seattle, his name is noted. In the Alaska Yukon Direcrory and Gazetter for 1902 he is noted as miner in Teller City.I am interested to know if he died in Alaska or if he went back to Chicago or somewhere else in America.I have in vain tried to find him on Schedules of Population for Chicago. I would be very grateful for any kind of help. Rolf Leander, E-mail: rleander@brikks.com, V- Tullgatan 1 A, 824 30 Hudiksvall, Sweden.

Rolf, från och med januari 2008 så ska dödscertificat och annat från Cook county, där Chicago ingår, bli tillgängliga online, enligt en artikel i Chicago Tribune i förra veckan. På ett dödscertificat ska födelsedatum framgå.
