JOHNSTON
I am looking for information about my Great-Great Grandfather. My Great-grandfather's name was Clay Martin JOHNSTON. He was born Oct 1890 near Belgrade. I am not sure of my G-G-Grandfather's first name. I believe he was born in Ohio (Dec 1848). According to the 1900 Federal Census, he married Larine (No last name given, from Denmark). The census lists his name as Willmington but there is a question mark beside the name and I can not find any reference to a Willmington JOHNSTON. I have found refernces to W.J. JOHNSTON of Belgrade.
Thank you for any information you can share.

RUNDQVIST, RUNDQUIST, PERSSON
Are there any employment records at the Indian School in Genoa? Anna RUNDQVIST (may have turned into RUNDQUIST on way over) departed Sweden. March 1885 destination Genoa NE, age 16. She moved to Stratford, IA two or 3 yrs. later. We have established the linage in Sweden, and from Stratford IA on. This is the missing link. We believe she came to Genoa for employment (none of our roots are there). I seem to recall she told me she had worked at an Indian school (emphasis on "seem"). Old records also indicate that she may have sailed with a Lars PERSSON age 20 same destination. Any information re young Swedish girls going to Genoa in the 1890's for employment will be greatly appreciated. She is my great grandmother.
