Name changes with emmigration!
riggsI have been trying to track some of my grt grandfathers,brothers family who emmigrated in aug 1888,april 1882,february 1893,and may 1887.My problem is that I have them as leaving, or boarding as Kristofferson Ronnei's or Chrisofferson Ronneids,as there last names and farm names.So,what would they use in America?Would it be ronnei,ronneid,christofferson,kristofferson.How can a I determine this?Any helpful hints to this would be greatly appreciated.Yours truly puzzled,riggs.[?][:)]
