Sweden Project is trying to establish more connections "across the pond" and needs your help.

Johan Hugo Aronsson emigrated from Sweden and was governor of Montana 1953-1961. But what else?

We need help to improve his profile. Was he married? Can we connect him to the big tree through a wife? Would you like to add something about his career?

Then we would greatly appreciate your help with the profile, specifically adding first-hand sources such as censuses, marriage certificates (if available) etc.

Also, once his profile has been improved, we would like the help of someone who can edit Wikipedia. Both the Swedish and English article has not given him the exact birthplace for example and if we can accomplish a well-researched profile, we could add his WikiTree profile as one of the external links in the article.

I added links to two posts on the page of the local history society of the parish where he was born; Södra Säm. My paternal grandmother grew up in a croft not far from where Hugo lived in Getavad.

I added links to census reports both in Sweden and the US.  Each one provides a snapshot of who he was with at different times of his life.  Each has a link to an image of the Census.
