Hi,

This is an old post, but hoping it still works. Maja Catrina Johansdotter -- Swan John's first wife was my great-great aunt, her sister Anna Stina was my great grandmother. She was known as "Aunty Leeburg" I would love to get copies of anything you might have.

Thank you,

Carol

Thank you. The surname is very similar, but I think unrelated. In Sweden my Grandfather's surname was Gustafsson, his father was Gusaf Ericksson. His older brother arrived in the US in 1889, as O. Kjell (soldiers name), then in 1895 his surname is Leedberg when he was married. Here is a link to our family genenalogy website on Rootsweb. http://freepages.family.rootsweb.com/~leedberg/page1.htm

Have you searched your Leeburg's in records in Sweden?

This clipping was a part of stuff that my mom had put in a scrapbook. My mother is the Wila Leeburg in the article. Her parents were Axel and Jessie Crim Leeburg. I posted the article after I found it because I know who most of the people are, but, for example, I have no idea who the Ranstroms are - and my mom can't answer that either! Probably the name in Sweden was Liedburg, but everything, census, wills, marraige certificates, family Bibles, etc. spells the name Leeburg.

I don't check message boards very often, so I'm sorry this reply took so long. I would like information about his life in Sweden. Do you know who Rollie is? My aunt gave me some information that Rollie had sent her. Apparently he has someone doing research in Sweden and it looks promising. Will you keep me posted if you learn anything about his life before coming to the United States? I will check message boards more often or you can e-mail me direct - dlhaskins@nckcn.com. Where do you live? I live in Kansas.

I saw your posting of Swan John Leeburg and his first wife Mary. I believe Mary may be related to me. I have a story of an "Auntie Leeburg" who was one of the first women to be granted a divorce in Hutchinson. Do you have any other information, such as her maiden name?

Much Appreciated,

Carol Campbell

Linda,

To be honest, I'm not sure how the relationship goes. There is a family story passed on about "Auntie" Leeburg who was granted a divorce in Kansas(Hutchinson area) which made her a sort of roll model in the family. It was told that she was feisty, and lived in the country. Another part of the story relates an encounter she had with an Indian hiding in her haystack. My family in Hutchinson is Swedish on my grandmother's side so I'm fairly sure that is where the relationship would be. Hurty is the last name. I know that is not alot to go on, but sure makes for an interesting mystery!

I am Swan John Leeburg's great, great grandson. I'm not sure if you're looking for info. about him before he came to the U.S. (of which I have little to none) or after. If the latter is the case, I may be able to help. His portrait still hangs in my parents' guest room, and his grandson, Lee (age 95) is still alive and well.

Linda, I am excited to find someone else with this connection! My mother-in-law is descended from the son Gunner. I have a copy of the divorce papers but am trying to get beyond Swan John Leeburg. (And possibly fill in more details than I may have at the moment!)

My e-mail is nightphyre@aol.com....just put Leeburg in the subject line.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
