532.0. "Need help with Swedish translation/heritage" by SPEZKO::BLOOMGREN () Tue Jan 05 1993 12:23

    I and family members are starting to research our Swedish heritage. I
    have several obituaries and short writings in Swedish that I
    need translated.  Can anyone help me or direct me?
    
    Also, any help looking for families that might be related to us
    in Sweden (I know there are) would be helpful. My grandmother is
    from Bohuslan, Sweden. Her name is Hannah Christianson, daughter
    of Aaron and Hilda (Johansen) Christianson. She had a brother,
    Frans Aaronson (last name different?) from Sweden. She also
    had two sisters, Hedvig and Clara, that lived in the United States
    that we know about. 
    
    My grandfather is a mystery - we don't know any thing about him. His name 
    is Sigurd Bloomgren or Blomgren. Both spellings are used in our family. 
    Both grandparents came separately into Boston the early 1900s where
    they met, married, and lived in 'Swede' village, Gorham Street area, 
    Lowell, Massachusetts. My grandfather died in 1945 (I plan to find
    his obituary in the Lowell Sun which should shed some light on him). 
    
    Any help would be appreciated.

    P.S. My father was Thure H. Bloomgren, son of Hannah and Sigurd
         Bloomgren.

If the pieces are short and you're willing to let the world read them, why not post them here? There's a note for quickie translations somewhere in the file. If the pieces are of moderate length, Email (or snailmail) them to me. I'm willing to translate as time permits. I will, however, not promise any time frame for producing the translations.
