I think the family is from Sweden, but my uncle's research seemed to cast a pretty wide net. I know this: my father's battalion got run over at the Battle of the Bulge and he was only 19 at the time. He was pretty hard core and I'm pretty sure that war left a mark.- Jmatt

69, regarding your idea (post 111) that the US stayed out of WW 2 too long, I have to respectfully disagree. When I was in High School I was told the US stayed out of that war because we were "left out of the peace" after WW1. In college I was told that FDR was afraid to get too far out in...- Jmatt
