I am searching these surnames. All three are from my Mom's side.
My Great Grandmother's family were from (Jon?) Jonsson , married to the Boman family.
Ida Christine Boman married (John) Conrad Lovendale (U.S. spelling).
Children were:
Helena,Olga, Alma, Amanda, and John,my Grandfather.
They came through Boston circa 1888.
All but my Grandfather were born in Sweden, he was born in Fosbekk (SP?) Norway.
I have the family history from the U.S., but nothing before they arrived in Boston.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Betsy in Maine
