Re: AVG pilot passes.....
Stig,
Ken Jernstadt was born in Oregon. His father Fred was born in Oregon, his mother May (or Mae) in Oklahoma. His father's parents were both born in Sweden, and spoke Swedish at home. His mother's parents were born in Texas and Missouri. This information is from the 1920 and 1930 Census files on line at ancestry.com. Frank.

Re: AVG pilot passes.....
Thank You Frank
Very nice you could confirm my hunch. At least one individual from the "old" country is thinking about him now and then! Since you gave me a finger perhaps I can pursuade you with a hand. Without looking it up, I believe there was a man named Arvid Olsen? That ALSO sounds very, if not Swedish, at least Scandinavian. His surname in Swedish should have been Olson (or Olsson) while it is much more common in Denmark to put an e in the end of the name. On the other hand it could have been a change of convenience, since it certainly is easier to pronounce the name in English as Olsen... Cheers Stig
