So, now i know for certain my great-grandmother's maiden name was "Swahn."
Maria's parents (my great-great grandparent's... Jamie and Chelsea's great-great-great grandparent's!) names were "Carl Gustav Swahn" and "Emma Lind."
Gustave's parents (my great-great grandparent's... Jamie and Chelsea's great-great-great grandparent's!) names were "Emile Belin" and "Johanna Johanson."
OH! Gustave and Maria were wed November 3, 1898... their Brooklyn addresses at the time they were married were:
Gustaf "the cabinet master" (age 32): 663 DeKalb Av., and...
Maria (age 26): 211 Skillman St.

Hello OKC !!! Good Morning to you! You are incredible with this research.
Since you are here i hope you don't mind me telling Mom who you are...
This gentleman is THE person i told you about last weekend who has given me so much information about the family AND has told me where to go to get marriage certificates, military records, and lots of other VERY helpful information.
THANK YOU OKC!!!
oooooo ... the little bit of family stuff that I did collect is in a program on a PC that I haven't turned on in a while. I'll get to it - I'll have to stir up the ol' memory paths - hope the PC fires up also!
P.S. OKC - thank you for your knowledge and skill with digging out the old family stuff - it's fascinating!!
