Looking for:
Descendents of Andreas Schützer, born in 1842 in
Värmland. Andreas and his wife Stina Andersson and there
children moved from Sweden to Norway. One of their
daughters, Anna Sofia (1872-1936) was my father's mother.
There were several other children– Johan Fredrik
Schützer, Beda Schützer and Emma Schützer. Anna Sofia
came to Chicago in the late 1880s, but it's not clear if
other members of the family also came to America. I
suspect the parents and other children moved to San
Francisco. In fact, I have the death certificate for
Walter Schützer (9/3/1911-1/3/1954) who died in San
Francisco. He is listed as the son of John Schützer
(born in Sweden) and Josephine Lear (born in Norway). The
wife is listed as Carol M. Schützer. A death notice
lists two daughters, Carol and Diane. Siblings are listed
as Alf Schützer, Mrs. Jerry Scanlon, Henry M. Schützer,
Mrs. Ralph M. Sheaf and Mrs. C. W. Lowith. He was buried
from the Porter-Morrison Funeral home and put to rest in

STANALAND

was Norwegian, but have also heard Danish, Russian,
Finnish, Latvian and Estonian. It's most likely the
family migrated through England or Scotland on the way to
the "New World"

SCHUTZER/HINDERSSON/BRATTLUND
19 Jan 1998
Looking for ancestors with NORWEGIAN background--
1. Descendents of Andreas Schützer, born in 1842 in
Värmland. Andreas and his wife Stina Andersson and there
children moved from Sweden to NORWAY. One of their
daughters, Anna Sofia (1872-1936) was my father's mother.
There were several other children– Johan Fredrik
Schützer, Beda Schützer and Emma Schützer. Anna Sofia
came to Chicago in the late 1880s, but it's not clear if
other members of the family also came to America. I
suspect the parents and other children moved to San
Francisco. In fact, I have the death certificate for
Walter Schützer (9/3/1911-1/3/1954) who died in San
Francisco. He is listed as the son of John Schützer
(born in Sweden) and Josephine Lear (born in NORWAY). The
wife is listed as Carol M. Schützer. A death notice
lists two daughters, Carol and Diane. Siblings are listed
as Alf Schützer, Mrs. Jerry Scanlon, Henry M. Schützer,
Mrs. Ralph M. Sheaf and Mrs. C. W. Lowith. He was buried
from the Porter-Morrison Funeral home and put to rest in
the Holy Cross Cemetery.
2. Ancestors of Fredrik Hindersson and Maria Greta
Brattlund, my father's grandparents and the parents of
Gustaf Albert Fredriksson Hindersson, my grandfather, and
Fredrika Albertina Hindersson, my grandfather's older
sister. These people also lived in Värmland. Family lore
has it that my grandfather had a younger brother who
considered himself a NORWEGIAN and later moved to San
Francisco. There is, however, no mention of him in church
records. My grandfather changed his name to Henderson,
but the brother may have retained the family name or
changed it to Fredriksson. It's believe he moved to San
Francisco in 1906, arriving there just before the great
quake. Thank you for your kind consideration, Al

ERICKSON 14 Jan 1998
I need help to find my Norwegian ancestry , Here is what
I have. my name is Paul Robert Erickson (born in U.S.) my
father is Robert Oliver Erickson (born in U.S.) brother:
William Erling Erickson (born U.S.) their father : Erling
Jonas Erickson (born Oslo, Norway) bro. Oscar Erickson
(Oslo)
mother : Margaret Burke (U.S.) Erling's father : Jonas
Erickson (Nor) '' mother: Hilma Kalin (Nor)
Jonas and Hilma Erling & Oscar immigrated to U.S.
between 1915 -aprox 1925 to avoid the draft Jonas changed
name from Erickson to Ericksen (this spelling may be on
ships logs) but the true spelling was restored in time.
Erickson is the spelling on church or Parrish records of
birth or christening in Norway . Oliver Erickson may be
Jonas's father or perhaps his brother I'm not sure,
father is most likely. I heard stories that some records
were destroyed by fire but Erling returned to Norway and
was able to gather information from church records (I
don't know where this info is however). Please see what
you can do to find my ancestry. I think church records
may be the most promising You can contact me at E-Mail,
My address (above) or phone/fax : 540 786 0774. thank you
for your help, I'm lost otherwise with so few
clues.Sincerely, Paul R. Erickson SOONDESUN@aol.com 10730 Cobblestone Dr., Spotsylvania, VA. U.S.A.
