I am looking for information on the Lund Family in Missouri?

Question

Hello, I am starting to construct a family tree. I am looking for information on John Thomas Lund and his partents or grandparents. He was born May 23, 1887 and died December 8 1954. His father was John Lund and mother was mary swearingen. If you have anything to add I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Answer 1

Eight people have John & Mary on
http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi

John seems to be a mystery, but Mary goes back several generations.

Some LDS researchers
http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp
have John B. 1855.

But:

U.S. Census > 1900 United States Federal Census > Missouri > Nodaway > Maryville Ward 4 > District 123

(Name, relation, birth m/yr, BP, father's BP, mother's BP)

Lund, John Mc, head, Aug 1863, married 15 years, Missouri, England, Missouri, day laborer
----, Mary, wife, Sep 1862, Indiana, Iowa, Iowa, washerwoman
----, Clara M., dau, June 1886, Missouri (As are the rest)
----, John T/P/R, son, (? - one of those), May 1887
----, Grace E., Dau, Oct 1888
----, Vonda V, dau, July 1890

Based on 1863, not 1855, the LDS 1880:
