| Title: | The Quest for Susanne Lundblad’s Swedish Emigrants Who Settled in Colorado |
| Presenter: | Bev Harbourt, Past SGSC Director |
A woman in Sweden sent a request to the SGSC e-mail regarding siblings of her paternal grandfather’s father who settled in Colorado. These three siblings were born in Källs-Nöbbelöv in Skåne and emigrated to the United States in the 1870’s. Susanne Lundblad’s hope when she wrote to SGSC was that we might be able to provide confirmation of information she had already found in different archives and help finding the missing pieces. With what we have found so far, Susanne is very excited and I believe we are definitely exceeding her initial expectations.
Beverly Harbourt grew up in Lincoln, Nebraska and attended the University of Nebraska. She is the past president of SGSC, an SGSC mentor, and an avid researcher of her Swedish and German roots.
