      Dear Kim -- My great-grandfather, Rosendo Buenaventura Torras (1851-1929). of Brunswick, Georgia, was awarded the Order of Vasa (I don't know in what year).  I've checked the foreign section of the 1905 list to which you referred someone earlier, but don't find him there.  I'm wondering if you could direct me to any on-line sources that might give the year of the award and, if not, if I could impose on you to consult the materials you have in your possession.  I believe the likeliest time frame is 1890-1895.

      Thanks, in advance, for your time and any help you may be able to give me.

      Best wishes,

      Arthur

        Hi Arthur

        Your ancenstor was awarded in 1905 the order of Wasa 2nd class, a class specifically for foreigners. You can find him in the 1915 edition of the "statskalender".
