Maxine, I think it was quite common for people to anglicize their German sounding names during the war years. Even the royal family did it, changing the German sounding Battenburg to Mountbatten.
Here in Canada we even changed the name of a city from Berlin to Kitchener.

This is where I found the reference to Sweden Germany etc.:-

thanks everyone for all this info.i also tried the www.family search site,i think i could find the answers there but im just not clued up to even know what im doing,it does look like it might have loads of info on millions of familys,worth a try i think,thankyou for all your help,going to see if i can find thomas eugine linstedts parents,thankyou xxx

teresa,maybe the eugine bit that keeps cropping up is from this infl you just gave me? what do you think,thomases middle name was eugine... a possible brother george eugine was found earlier on here,take a look,what do you think,just a coincidence or more.... maxine

could eugenie and emily be thomas s parents,i dont have ancestry either!!! im stuck....

and does that information say they come from france..sorry no brains as usual!!!!!

im going to log off for a while toput my son to bed...i will come back later and try some more maybe go through some records and see if anything matches up,thanks guys see you a bit later maxine

maybe somebody could be so kind as to do a lookup on the 1891 and 1901 Census for you I must admit it was the Eugene bit that caught my attention. They are on the 1901 but I can't bring up the full details.

Looks like his marriage to Emily, perhaps Emily was English. Would be good to get the marriage certificate if this is the right family.
