Abstract:

This collection consists of photocopies of genealogical information relating to Adolph Olsson Eberhart, who was a member of the Minnesota State Senate and governor of the state of Minnesota from 1909 until 1915. These copies were made from records found in the Goteborg Provincial Archives in Sweden. They outline the history of Eberhart's family before they came to the United States. Eberhart's original Swedish name was Olaf Adolf Andersson, and that is how it is listed in the records.
