PILLOW, ir-X 1 1 THAT ON ON PURP08E as originally scheduled. Before they learned that the Huntington Sheraton would close, event organizers had mailed more than 52,000 invitations, spokeswoman Margo Milias said. Now they're busy getting the word out by mail and phone that the event has moved. Guests of the Tournament of Roses, organizers of the Rose Bowl, have been given new accommodations at the Sheraton in Universal City, Archer said.

Hotel spokeswoman Christie Balvin said persons with questions about rescheduling may still contact the hotel at (818) 792-0266. celebrations to other locations in the Los Angeles area. Many of those events, he said, have been placed with other Sheraton hotels. One large event that won't be at a hotel is the Christmas Carousel, a fund-raising holiday bazaar for the Westridge School. It will be held in a tent on the school grounds, as it has been in previous years.

I With Pasadena's Huntington Sheraton Hotel closed suddenly, the scramble to reschedule hundreds of events continued this week as planners sought to re -pencil a large block of the city's fall and winter social calendar. The hotel was closed Sunday because it had been labeled an earthquake hazard by its owners. About "500 to 600 events, minimum" ranging from debutante balls to charity events to service club meetings slated for the hotel throughout the rest of the year, as well as during 1986 and 1987, are being relocated, said Len Archer, the Huntington director of catering.

Archer added that he expects to spend the next week to 10 days shuffling parties, weddings and Foreningen, Arkivgatan 3, 111 28 Stockholm.

GORMLEY Question: My father's Johnson family came from Sweden about 1881.

I would like to learn more about them. Where do I look? Both my parents were born in Sweden. I have some information back to the 1830s. Will I need to travel to Sweden to do more research? My grandparents came from Karlskrona, Sweden, in the very late 1800s or very early 1900s and settled in Boston, Mass. I wonder if they came through Ellis Island or could they have landed in Boston? Answer: Swedish genealogy, even with a very popular surname such as Johnson, is one of the easiest to trace.

You can do most of it yourself in this country, or hire part or all of it done. First, locate old family recordsBibles, letters, naturalization papers, passports for clues to the name of the village where your ancestors were born. Ask relatives questions. You must know where your ancestors were born or lived before emigration. Check the 1900 and 1910 U.S.

Census to learn the year your ancestors came to the United States and whether they were citizens at that time. Almost all Swedes passed through the ports of Malmo or Goteborg and had to register with the police, beginning about 1867. These police records are almost completely indexed and are in the Landsarkivet and the Stadsarkivet. Many Swedish records especially church records are available on microfilm. Get acquainted with the librarian at the nearest LDS (Mormon) Branch Genealogical Library.

You will discover an enormous amount of Swedish material on film and microfiche. Be sure to check the International Genealogical Indexes as you probably have unknown cousins who have done research on your lines. Read "Cradled in Sweden" by Carl-Erik Johannson ($9.65 postpaid from Everton Publishers, Box 368, Logan, Utah 84321) and the chapter on Sweden in Angus Baxter's new book, "In Search of Your European Roots" ($14.20 postpaid, Genealogical Publishing Dept. 1001 N. Calvert Baltimore 21202).

If your library has P. William Filby's three-volume work, "Passenger and Immigration Lists Index," be sure to consult it for the names of your immigrant ancestors, if they arrived in the 19th Century or earlier. Ellis Island is our most famous immigrant station, but millions of our ancestors came to the United States before it was opened in 1892. So many immigrants came to the United States during certain periods that ships had to unload in WITH o) s5 is," ffiSD.SGU.SE I masks mmcrr aQ7 I mTHG 1 CHEWABLE BLOOD LAFFRO CURLY CAPSULES I RAINBOW WIG I PUMPKIN OTP US I I ft97 97 1 87 Puppetry Workshop A workshop on the use of puppetry to introduce books and storytelling will be held at the Central Library, 630 West 5th Los Angeles, from 9:30 a.m. to noon on Nov.
