Hej Inge:
    I noticed your posting of several NILSSON surnames on the
DISBYT and
was wondering if you have any record of a Oskar/Oscar F
Nilsson b: 26 May
1873 in Högby Parish.
This would be my grand father and I would appreciate any
information that
you may have.  He would have left Sweden for the first time
on Sept. 15,
1893.

This is Herb from Northern Georgia and the above Oskar Nilsson has turned out to be Frans Oskar Nilsson from Gullabo Parish, Kalmar Län.  With this new name I have found my grand father and six of his brothers and sisters as well as his parents from that same area.  His first name had excaped many of us for some time.  A copy of his Declaration of Intention for US Citzenship gave a clue to his right name.  There were just too many Oskar Nilsson from all over Sweden.
Many thanks for everyones help on this.
Herb.
