Message Board Post:
The name change seems to be a common theme: My 3rd Great-Grandfather was originally
Charles Hoag from Sweeden. His name changed to Charles Ide while serving in the Swiss Army
and then to Charles Carlson when he immegrated to the US. It was hard to verify the
persons were the same but family documentation has validated it. It was hard to trace
online because of all the overlap of people, dates and such. (especially when one source
absorbs someone elses guess or mistake)
