I'm searching for several ansestors that moved form Sweden to America during the 1920.
If you have any information pleas e-mail me!

* Gust Newman. Born;?? in Sweden. Died;?? Owned Pike Bay Resort in Laporta, MN. Idon't know for how long but I have found a letter from him dated 1932 so I know that he owned it then. I have heard that he was married but I don't know if he had any children. He had a borther called Edvard

* Charlie Newman. Born; 1886 in Sweden. Arrived in America 1906. Worked for the Ringling Brothers. Build boats for example a boat called Myrtle.

* Johan Erik Nyman. Born July 27 - 1877 in Sweden. Arrived in America around 1922. Married a girl named Amanda. They lived in Bemidji and they had 3 cildren; Eva, John and Maria. Amanda,E va (spent time in a sanatorium/hospital in Puposkyduring 1917, I've found some of the letters she wrote during her time there but I don't know where she was) and John (dround in Lake Bemidji) died, I don't know the years, and Johan and Maria( my great great grandmother born 1912) went back to Sweden. But from what I've heard Johans brother/brothers stayed in America.
