Hi,
My name is Steve Soprych. My maternal great grandfather was Alfred Swanson. He was the brother of Otto Sigfrid Swanson. They were both married in Marion County(Indianapolis), IN.
Their sister had emigrated to Indianapolis and both brothers along with brother Gustaf followed her there. Alfred and Gustaf eventually moved to Chicago and Otto lived his remaining days in Indianapolis. In 1913, Otto became 1st Chairman/ President of the newly formed Indianapolis branch of the Vasa Ordnen of America Swedish fraternal organization. While searching Family Trees at ancestry.com, I saw that you had privately posted of photos of Otto and His wife, Hulda.
I contacted the Vasa Ordnen of America archives in Indianapolis to see if they had a photo of Otto or his family members, but they did not. In my searches of ancestry.com, I found another member, who resides in Las Vegas, who has posted my grandfather's Family Tree back to the 18th Century, complete with a photo of the Swanson brothers, two of their sisters and a photo of their father Sven. There is an individual photo of Gustaf, but the group photo doesn't provide the order of the brothers in the picture. I am contacting you, to see if there is a way, I can view Otto and Hulda's photos or possibly obtain a copy of them. If they are to remain private, I understand.
Thank you for reading my post.
