Michigan Lost Ancestors
Looking for information about Peter and Mary CUNNINGHAM last heard of
in
Detroit in the 1940s. Mary was Mary DOLLAR b. 1892 in Grangemouth
Scotland.They had two daughters Betty and Eunice.I think
that Peter was a
motor engineer.
Any help much appreciated.

I’m searching for information on my grandfather’s brother GUSTAV
ALFRED
STRAND, born August 15, 1886 in Naverstad Goteborg, Sweden. His father
was John Edwin STRAND, his mother was Charlotta Amelia CARLSSON.
John Edwin STRAND immigrated to the USA and landed at the Port of New
York in June, 1886. His wife followed with children a year later. His
last name was ANDERSSON, but changed it to STRAND (his
given military
name) after settling in America. John Edwin STRAND Petitioned for
citizenship on November 2, 1886 in Florence county , Wisconsin. The
family spent time in Ishpeming, Michigan, Superior, Wisconsin and
Fargo, North Dakota, before settling in Randall, Minnesota.
GUSTAV ALFRED STRAND left Minnesota, according to family legend, to look
for work, and the only information the family has is that he may have
gone West to Montana, Colorado or points unknown.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
