To: Birgitta Berkemar
Thanks very much, Birgitta, for your helpful information about Jonas Eld as a dragoon, and for clearing up my misinterpretations of the place name spellings in the census record I was using. I'm still getting accustomed to the script used (and very grateful for the census takers in the 1800s and earlier who wrote clearly and carefully!). If I can help with U.S. sources, please let me know.
