Genealogy

I’m tracing my family genealogy and history.  My family names include:

· Fagerstrom (Rockford, Illinois and Fagerhult, Smaland, Sweden),

· Carlstedt (Rockford & Chicago Illinois and Eksjo & Askyerd, Jonkoping, Sweden),

· Sinderson (Rockford & Chemung, Illinois and Lincolnshire, England),

· Simmons (Chemung, IL, Paris, NY, Little Compton, RI, and Duxbury, MA),

· Ludeman [Luedeman, Luedemann] (Mt. Clements, MI & Boone, IA and Prussia)

· Rocho (Mt. Clements, MI & Boone, IA and Prussia)

I’m active in the Swedish Genealogy Club of the American Swedish Historical Society in Philadelphia and have written A Beginners Guide to Swedish Genealogy.

Sunday August 31, 2014 will be the 19^th year I, or Kristina Johnson O’Doherty, have presented Beginning Scandinavian Genealogy at SCANFEST on Labor Day weekend.  It is held at Vasa Park in Budd Lake, NJ.
