[Annika Sahlin Andersson]

I?m looking for my great great grandfather Svante Emanuel Sahlin.Born 1864-11-14 in Vänersborg, Västergötland, Sweden. Went to America 1892 with his brother in law Karl Johan Jonas Larsson. Maybe he changed his name to Swan.I don?n know where he went in America and all information I have is a not verified story about him joining the army in the Spanish-American war, got injured and got some kind of pension. The cities that are mentioned in the story are Seattle, New York and Ashtabula,Ohio. I really would appreciate to get in touch with somone who could help me with this.(sorry about my bad english)
