I am searching for my paternal grandmothers cousin
Elsa Victoria Lettstrom born 1892 aug 25 in Ödeshög,Östergötland ,sweden and her mother Selma Persson born 1861 april in Klockrike ,Östergötland sweden
(married first Lettström and later Bloom)

I have the following information


Elsa victoria Lettstrom (or Lättström) born 1892 aug 25 in Ödeshög,Östergötland,sweden

daughter of Frans(Carl) august Lettstrom 1859-1895
and Selma Amalia Persson born 1861 april in Klockrike ,Östergötland,sweden

after her husband and 3 small children dies
Selma takes her daughter Elsa and Immigrates to USA in 1896 with a ticket to Philadelphia


in 1900 Selma is married and living in Beadle county Lake Byron township with Elsa
the family loks like this
according to the US Federal Census south Dakota Beadle co Lake Byron township

Frans Bloom born 1849 nov in sweden came to USA 1872
wife Selma born 1861 april in sweden came 1896 to USA
children Gertrude born 1886 in South Dakota
Charles born 1888in south Dakota
stephdaughter
Elsa Lindstrom ? born 1893 aug came to US in 1896

Selma has obviously married Frans Bloom she is obviously his second wife
since he has two children from a previous marriage
Elsas birthyear and date are a bit wong but I am sure it is her

According to the US Federal Census 1910 for Beadle county Milford twship
the Bloom family looks like this

Frank Bloom 60
wife Hilma 58
son charles 22

both Selma and Elsa has apparently dissapered

according to the BEADLE COUNTY, SOUTH DAKOTA - MARRIAGE INDEX (1881-1905) at Us genweb atthttp://www.rootsweb.com/~sdbeadle gives the following information

Frank Bloom married 1897 to Selma Lettstrom
Frank Bloom married 1903 to Helma Johnson

Selma PerssonLättstrom Bloom seems to have died between 1900 and 1903

Burt whatt happened to Elsa Lettstrom

Frank Bloom is listed as living in Milford Twonship Beadle county SD in the censuses of 1910,1920 and as late as 1930 with his son and daughter in law. but I see no trace of Elsa
she does not seem not be listed in the south Dakota mariage index on ancestry.com

do you know who to contact or can you gice any tips ?
