Recently, I was able to identify who my Swedish gggf is. But, I would like to know more. This is what I know:
Given and Surname
Myself Douglas Foss b9/11/28in Watertown
Codington Co, South Dakota
Father Morton Aaron Foss b 1/12/1899 in
Siouix Falls SD
Grand Father Charles Aaron Axelsson
Charles Aaron Fors b 4/24/1862 in
Animskog, Alvsborgs lan, Sweden.
Name was Fors because his father
changed his surname to Fors when
enlisting in the Swedish Army
Then changed his surname when
emigrating to the US.
Great Grandfather Axel Jansson(Fors) 3/23/ 1830 in
Skallarud, Alvsborgs lan, Sweden.
A letter from Krigsarkivet(Swedish Army)
indicated he was born in Kallerud parish
parish in Alvsborgs lan, Sweden.
Also verified his surname was Alex
Jansson.
This letter indicated he served for
Vastgota Dals regemente, Tossebo
kompani no 142 from 5 Dec 1849 to
18 Dec 1881.
GGGF Jan Olsson b 1791 in Skallarud,Alvsborgs
