Vet någon någonting ang en Jacob Fredrik Hallgren
kanske född i Follingbo socken på Gotland.
Han lär ska ha emigrerat till Australien under den senare delen av 1800-talet

[Torsten Daun]

Hej Gunnar
Jag har en Gustav Fredrik Hallgren född i Roma 1851 som utvandrade 1884 till Sutton Nebraska 1884. Levde där till sin död. Kanske släkt?

Hi Torsten,
 
I understood your message but I am shy about writing in Swedish and I can't write such a complicated message in Swedish either. I can only write short messages.This also is a board for discussions in English, so I must write in English. :-)
 
Sutton is in Clay County, Nebraska. This site might be helpful. There is a query board there and some of the links look interesting.
 
http://www.rootsweb.com/~neclay/
 
There are some addresses that might be helpful, including some historical and genealogical societies in that area. Maybe someone will check records to see if there is a listing of your Gustav Fredrik Hallgren.  
 
http://www.lineagesnet.com/usa/NE/ClayCounty.html
 
This message board is just for Nebraska.
 
http://genforum.genealogy.com/ne/
 
This board is for Clay County. It is not as active as the Nebraska board.
 
http://genforum.genealogy.com/ne/clay/
 
This is another board for Clay County and it also seems to be fairly inactive.
 
http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=localities.northam.usa.states.nebraska.counties.clay
 
The unknown board seems to cover all of Nebraska.
 
http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=localities.northam.usa.states.nebraska.unknown
 
These boards are for the names Hallgren, Halgren, Helgren. The spelling might have changed. They don't seem active but it is worth a try to post your information there.

Post your message in as many places as exist. Also tell them you are from Sweden. That might touch the hearts of some people who wouldn't try to help otherwise. :-) I hope you find a descendant of this person.
 
I wish you very good luck!
 
Judy

[Torsten Daun]

Thanks Judy. I have a lot of relatives in US and am sure the addresses you gave me will be very helpful.

Till Torsten Daun
Hej o tack för snabbt svar
Tyvärr var det fel Hallgren du tippsade om. Min Jacob,Fredrik var bror med Adolf Johan köpman på Hästgatan i Visby A.J. var född 1860. Dessa var för övrigt bröder till Ida Danielsson, mor till
Bengt Danielsson, forskningsresanden
Adolf flyttade sedermera till Mörbylånga med sin verksamhet. Adolf hade fyra söner Villy veterinär i Skara, Åke ingenjör i Sthlm, Per-Ivar präst iGärdslösa. Nils lärare i Västergötland.
 
Adolfs Andra broder hette Karl-Gunnar och var min farfar, han verkade som lantarbetare på Gotland.
Från säker källa vet jag att Jacob Fredrik emigrerade till Australien. Tidningsklipp från Gotlands Allehanda 25/2 1989
Hör gärna av dig direkt till mig
mvh
