A Translation by Google of Two Paragraphs from the Husmodern article about Julius Welhagen's Search in the United States

From the article about Julius Welhagen's search for Swedish immigrants in the United States, this is a google translation from the two Paragraphs that describe the West Coast encounter with Otto R. Karlstrom of the Compass Mission of Seattle in Summer , 1938  -  (on the earlier blog post, see page 27, second column)
It became quite clear to me that an individual 's search for all of those people was a physical impossibility. none of them could conceivably show up to the huge family reunion in Wilmington or on the field in front of Swedish Museum of Philadelfia . The old address was no good either as clue. The houses in which they lived was perhaps lost and themselves , they could be in another part of America. A mother asks her son "a time in Minneapolis, then in the forests . " " In the woods " is liktydligt with traces of a refugee westward , perhaps to Washington, where countless Swedes work in forest camps. But it 's not worthwhile to search randomly in the forests but by observation in places where workers conducted during breaks at work. A adressavlämnare talk about the West Coast. There 's an entire continent . It may be that the appropriate remedy in a large city on the Pacific Ocean or in a small backwater of the coast. The American country has millions of houses , login and nook. A human being there is like a pin in a hundred mila forest . Swedes have worked in the forests and mines, Swedish rallarnävar has evicted hundreds of mil away by the immense natural obstacles in the Rocky Mountains where the railroad now connects East with West . They may be living somewhere along the railway and have other jobs. A Swedish railroading will not forget , in addition , he is of too durable timber .On the trip I was accompanied by the eminent scholar of Swedish -America , pastor OR Karlstrom , a Småland sailor, who for Great fortunes became a priest in the Augustana Synod and director of the comprehensive Compass Mission on the West Coast . He leaved help me and we decided to prepare a list , in whose division we would follow August Anas old division of the Swedish centers , such that built up since 1860. There are 13 so-called conference areas , each with a president at the head . To these we would add a fourteenth , that admission people wil Sea, South America, or without actual U.S. address. But the urgency of the printing and the manuscript was not prepared in a jiffy. We could not afford to hire help, but we caught a priest who was traveling to a rest cure on the West Coast . Him we took with us to Pastor Karlströms small blockhouse and put him in business with us for two 18- hour work day . The result was a åttaspaltig list of one meter length , absorbing all the addresses and clues in the U.S. and the requesting party in Sweden . In hundreds of copies were sent this list out over the country, the conference preachers , to consulates and associations, to Swedish press. It runs now through major cities sea of ​​people by the West and Canada 's forests , including sailors and fishermen and miners, across the prairies and through the mountain villages . The names read by a bunch of lumberjacks in Washington. ' Donald K. - he asked me in Alaska this summer ,' says maybe . Or: " He works in a lumber yard in Portland. " At The Compass Mission in Seattle runs daily until 800 Swedes out, they read the list and it upstår a whole network of communicating . I am sure that there is reason to hope that the forward in July to have signed a host of signs of life from the sought after .
