Kenneth Nyren's Family History Home Page

My great-grandfather was Emil NYREN. He changed his name to Nyren from MAGNUSSON in 1880 when he arrived in the United States. He was born in 1872 and died in 1943. He was born in Sodra Ny, Varmland, Sweden. In 1880 he emigrated to the USA. First confirmed location was Cromwell, Connecticut, USA. He may have emigrated first to Minneopolis briefly before moving to Cromwell.

My wife's ancestry includes Irish, Italian - yes, the Keatings reportedly lived in Florence, Italy for a long time before moving to Wexford County, Ireland around 1100, German, and Austrian.
