I write to you in response to this:
>Dear Macintosh User Group leader!
>In http://www.lowendmac.com/lab/02/0718.html the author says the design on the Mac´s Command key:
>"Throughout Scandinavia today the road agencies use it to mark sites of historical interest." Do we have any Scandinavian readers -- or Scandinavian tourists, for that matter -- who can verify this?"
>I think the author can be reached at: [email protected]
>As a former user group president I thought there must be a user group in Sweden. You were listed on Apple´s web site:
>http://apple-user.wwwa.com/locator/user/locator.cgi?actiontype=display&group=1483
>I am just an interested reader of Low End Mac, but maybe you could help me with a genealogy question. My grandfather was of Swedish ancestry and I believe I may have a copy of his birth certificate in probably Swedish. Family members say served in the Swedish Navy, took advantage of a chance to change his last name from Johnson to Gillen then came or returned to the US and lived the rest of his life from the early 1900s until he died in the 1950s. Could you help me find your Navy´s old personnel records or someone interested in genealogy who could help us check Swedish records?
