Hi
My name is Stefan Puke and i live in Karlskrona Sweden
I have been looking for relatives in Amerika for a while.
Several of my relatives emmigrated to Amerika in the 1880:s.
One was Carl Gustaf Puke with his family.
When they came to America they changed their last name to Gustafson
they were;
Born 1824-12-13 Head Carl Gustaf Puke (Charles)Carl Gustafsson lived and died in Peoria Illinois 1903.
Born 1827-08-14wife Johanna Sofia Johansdotter
Born 1852-04-02 daughter Alfrida Euforsyne Puke (Gustafson)

Born 1870-08-13 son Otto Wilhelm Puke (Gustafson) 1900 and 1910 he and his wife Nellie lived in Peoria. 1910 their grandson Willard lived with them.
Carl Gustaf brother that lived in Peoria too wrote to Sweden to his brothers sonin 1905:
My brother Carl died 2 years ago 79 years old he had 10 children all married but half of them are dead of (Exidena at railroad) but grandchildren there is a lot ofbut noone has the surname Puke Carls childrens surname is Gustafson and mine is Arons and Poukey´s.

I hope for a positive answer
