Katrina,

I don’t have any pictures of Regjerings Gade, but if you want I can send you a property map that will show you the exact location of 15b- can’t post it here, but if you want it, let me know and I’ll send it directly to your email.

I can probably help you with where to locate records on your family, but I need more information.. For example, your great grandfather Swan, what was his first name, birthdate, death, religion, etc.? This will help to hone it down to your Swans.

I am able to find an Allen George in my records as a best man at a wedding on St. Thomas, March 5, 1931, but as the surname George is fairly common and I don’t really know the timeframe we’re dealing with, not sure if this is useful to you.

Good luck in your search!
Dante

Hi I am very new to google groups and not really sure if my reply is in the right place but I had to comment because my maternal great grandfather and family lived at 15b Regjerings Gade. They were the Swan's. Is it possible to post pictures of the

actual street here or can you send it to me via email?

Also, I remember my grandmother talking about the George's. More specifically a Deborah George who I have a picture of with my mother (both toddlers). Grandma Swan (born in Saint Thomas) said Deborah's parents' name was Allen & Carmen George. They were

from Saint Thomas and Allen was actually in France at the same time my grandfather was there on assignment for the army. Do these names sound familiar to you?

Katrina,
I have information on that George family.
Also, Debbie is her nickname, not Deborah.
