Guest guest Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 :-o I hope we're not related! ;-) Inger Inger and Bush : ) Hi Inger, Just wanted to let you know that our newspapers are saying today that Bush is a relative of Mans Andersson, who crossed the ocean in 1639 from Götenborg and arrived a few months later in the colony 'New Sweden' in the North East of what now is called the United States.... : ) Lida Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Ah, these terrible Swedes! :-)) I'm very curious about my grandmother's grandfather and his two daughters who emigrated to America in the late 1880's, as well as my grandfathers father around the turn of the last century. I may have a lot of relatives over there that I don't know about! (I've tried searching the net for their names but didn't get a match.) Inger sv: Inger and Bush : ) > This has been mentioned before, but Novoswedia or Nya Sverige became Delaware, which is half way between Washington and NYC. A church they built is apparently the oldest church building in the US. A representation of the place, " Old Swedes Church " appears on the Wilmington town seal. The church is on the River which is, I believe, named after the Queen of Sweden. Here's a story about the Swedish druglords: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilmington%2C_Delaware#Crime also: http://www.oldswedes.org/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Sweden p.s., don't expect many people in Wilmington to brag about the Bush connection. - s FAM Secret Society is a community based on respect, friendship, support and acceptance.
