Frans Aron Lundgren, looking for information

[Margaretha Johansson]

Hello! I am searching for information about Frans Aron Lundgren who arrived in New York on the ship Drottningholm in 1923. He was then 24 years old, born probably 1899, an electrician from Överluleå parish in Sweden. His mother was called Elisabet Lundgren. I think he was hedding for Minneapolis. I am Swedish myself, and this was a cousin to my father. I would like to have more details so I could maybe find descendents in the US. Would be very grateful to anyone who could help! Thank you in advance!! / Margaretha Johansson

Tusen tack Bo och Kerstin för er hjälp. Dina uppgifter Kerstin stämmer om föräldrarna, Leo och Elisabet. Jag ska forska vidare på bibliotek osv och försöka hitta vidare info! Tusen tack igen!! Vänliga hälsningar Margaretha

Margaretha,
 
Did Frans settle in Minneapolis permanently? Perhaps he took the name Frank Lundgren -- a very common name here in Minneapolis (I have lived in Minneapolis all my life and have walked past the addresses listed in the earlier responses many, many times.
 
Good luck.

[Margaretha Johansson]

I do not know if Frans Aron settled in Minneapolis. As his first name was Aron, I do not think he called himself Frank, as Aron is a name used in the US as well - but I cannot be sure of course.
I will go on to try to find more info about him, which is not easy after such a long time!
Thanks for your response - I appreciate all the people that want to help!

To Kerstin Thölix
I am new at doing research - so I am still learning! Where did you find details about Aron Lundgren, such as what he looked like and that he had a tatoo? Is there a CD to buy or can I look it up on the internet somewhere. I find that very interesting. Thank you in advance!! / Margaretha Johansson

Margaretha,  
 
De scannade passagerarlistorna på Ellis Island innehåller korta signalement på passagerarna. Det är gratis att söka där.

[Karen Kelsey]

I am somewhat confused by these searches, but in case you are looking for Axel Lundgren's WWI draft registration, Ancestry has one listed from Minneapolis-
Axel Lundgren, birthday= August 21, 1890
    1011 15th street, Minneapolis
    26 years old (filed on June 5, 1917)
    married: yes
    occupation:  stone mason at cement works
Also, there is a death listing for an
   ARON LUNDGREN issued on 16-Feb 1925 in Hennepin County, MN (Minneapolis) listed on the Minn. Historical site:
http://people.mnhs.org/dci/Search.cfm?bhcp=1
   It does not say how old this person was, so it probably was not your Frans Aron.

[Margaretha Johansson]

Hello! The one I am searching for is ARON Lundgren. I think this Axel might have been his cousin that he visited in Minneapolis. And I do not know - Aron might have died over there - I have no trace of him after the arrival. Thanks everybody for your help! / Margaretha

Agnes Augusta arrived in Ellis Island
19 juli 1913  
and was going to a friend Johan Olofsson, box 66, Iron River, Michigan. The line above her in ship manifest is talking about Frida Öhrlund, 18 years of age, also heading to Johan Olofsson, but he is her stepfather.

[Margaretha Johansson]

Thanks a lot for your help! There was somebody called Agnes Eriksson in Chicago, that I tried to get in touch with in the sixties. Could that be Agnes after she married? I got no reply from her after writing a letter,she might not have been alive then.  My aunt who gave me the address has passed away. I did not know a lot about this Agnes, only that she was related to us. YOU ARE VERY HELPUL! And it is like solving a detective story!! Tack! /Margaretha Johansson
