Hi, I'm looking for any Frankens that may have Swedish origins and possibly may have been from the Chicago area. When my gr-gr-Grandfather came over with his brothers they each took different names, Johnson, Fukes and Franken. My grandmother believes Johnson (or a swedish variation thereof) may have been the original family name, and that the two brothers each take the name of their employer. They first came to Chicago from Sweden and the Franken brother's first name may have been John. At least one daughter of his known to have been a Regina Franken, who was a teacher in the Chicago area and never married.
