Not a lot to tell. My grandfather Erik Oscar Bernhard Wenstrom came from Sweden in 1899, changed his name o Eric Oscar Buren... neat thing is I went to Sweden in 1999..100 years to the month after he left Sweden...one of my dad's last wishes.."If you find my dad's family in Sweden, go there for me."....and I did.
My great grandfather Louis Hermes was one of the last of the Indian War fighters. Was written up in the Milwaukee paper. He was in Major Reno's company...so missed being at Little Big Horn...did work the clean up though..never would talk about it, per my dad.
