LISTERS
My uncle August Alexander Leander was born on May 2, 1876 in Lämås, Karlskoga, Sweden. He
emigrated to US on Sept.9, 1896. He lived in 1900 as lodger with Fredrik and Amalia Olson
on Wendell Street 17 in Chicago. This information I have from the City Directory and
Population Schedule from Chicago of 1900. It is said but not confirmed in any documents
that his family in Sweden heard from him the last time in 1909. It is also said that in
connection with a distribution of an estate in Karlskoga he was in 1950 declared dead.
What did he do and where did he live between 1896 and 1900, and where did he live after
1900, and where did he die? On a list of gold-miners I have found a person A. Leander,
minor, living in Teller City in 1901, but I have in vain tried to find out if this was my
uncle. I have had my question under the rootswebs of SWEDEN-L, COOK-CO-IL-L, CA-YUKON-L,
CANADA-L, ALASKA-L. I have received many very kind advises on homepages where to look, but
till now I have !
not had any success. Before I give up, I send this request once more to the listers of the
above rootswebs hoping to get help to find my uncle and his activities in US.
