Christian Lund/ Ludvigsen født 6.9.1871

[dn19329]

Var født i Blomskog i Sverige( se Etterlysninger Sverige) Emigrerte fra Oslo i juli 1892, med reisemål Cedar Rapids Iowa iflg emigrantlista. I 1932 sendte han brev hjem til søster Sofie i Norge og fortalte at han hadde kjøpt seg "et litet hem" i Princeton Iowa. Ut fra brevet ser det ut som han ikke har familie.
Som så mange andre opptrer han med ymse navn: I Sverige i 1890 som Olof Kristian Ludvigsson, i forbindelse med emigrasjonen som Kristian/Christian Ludvigsen og i 1932 som Christian Lund.
Vi vet ikke mer om Christian, hvor bodde han mellom 1892 og 1932? Hadde han familie? Når døde han? Hvor ble han begravd?

Thanks again! You are doing a great job! It seems like Christian and Amanda had 4 children! He wrote a letter for his sister, Sofie, in 1932 and no family are mentioned. Strange..
I`m (of course) very intrested in information about grandchildren of Christian and Amanda, if we are lucky they can still be alive.

I will let you know when I get a reply.

Vil bare fortelle at vi har funnet Christians nå levende familie i Iowa, barnebarn, oldebarn og tippoldebarn!! Dette takket være info fra dere og et brev til kirken i Princeton, så lett kan det være når man bare får god hjelp!
