I spent a couple of hours going over old photo albums last night and found a couple of
interetsing things. My GGrandpa had what I thought was a friend in Phili PA. When I put
the pics of them at about the same time together, there is a marked resemblence. I know
he had a half sister, Emma Erikson. But now I wonder if this Charles Franzen is also a
half brother, or at least a 1st cousin. In a census I found, Charles lists himself as
Russian. My grandfathers papers, accordiing to family lore, say he was Russian, but after
he lists as Finnish or Swedish. On the line where were you born, this Charles had listed
Oland/Aland, it is crossed out and Rus. printed above it. So, back to my question, how do
I research Aland stuff?
