Now, I am NOT saying this Andrew Strand is connected with yours ....... although he may be!!


But note where he was born, and where he says his mother and father were born!


1880 Census


Name: Andrew Strand
Home in 1880: Sunflower, Mississippi
Age: 34
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1846
BIRTHPLACE: Sweden
Relation to Head of Household: Something other than a direct relationship (Other)
Father's birthplace: Sweden
Mother's birthplace: Sweden
Neighbors: View others on page
Occupation: Stove Maker
Marital Status: Single
Race: White
Gender: Male


Household Members: Name Age
Peter Nelson 35
Anderson Nelson 35
Swan Nelson 26
Andrew Strand 34



I can tell you no more than this 'cos I don't have the subscription.



BUT SWEDEN seems to be the place, and therefore gives another hint that the UK is the wrong place to be looking for your Andrew Strand ........ always remembering that he might have been at sea whenever a census was being done in whatever country he comes from!

NOTE:- that Andrew Strand was just one of several listed on the 1880 US Census born in Sweden, Norway, etc



............ so don't go claimimg him as yours!

Thank you Sylvia for all that info on the Strands. I have got confussed. . On my tree I have Hans Strand born 1842 married to Ann Summers in 1865. Father of Hans is Andrew Strand... So he couldnt be born in 1846.... Sorry to bother you again..
