And now, for a wild off-topic veer, and with apologies to the O.P....but I simply MUST ask:

HEY Andy Wickstrom in Illinios!

Are you by any chance related to Janet Wickstrom, who married into the Knowles family back in the 'forties and now lives out here in Washington State? She also had a couple of brothers- Keith, who died during WWII, and Bob, gone now for about ten years.

She's my Mother-in-Law, and one of my husband's fondest childhood memories is visiting a farm belonging to relatives in Illinois that I think were from/on her side of the family. Any chance at all of some connection?

Hi Francesca,

I don't believe it's the same family, but you never know - maybe wayyy back in Sweden we are related!

I'm originally from Wisconsin, having moved to Chicago about 10 years ago. My folks live near the Twin Cities, though they moved down from near Lake Superior when we were kids.

I don't often hear that name, so you definitely wonder sometimes if you are related to folks with the name!
