Hello,
I've done a fair amount of research on my great-grandfather Otto Lilja who emigrated from Sweden in 1913. He had a large number of siblings who stayed in Sweden and their descendants would something like my 3rd cousins. I wanted to place a message somewhere on this forum in the hope that any of these descendants doing genealogy in Sweden would see it. What would be best place to do so? My two ideas are a message board focused on Dädesjö parish or a message board focused on the surname Lilja. Any advice would be appreciated. The message is:
Lilja Family of Dädesjö Parish in Minnesota & Sweden
Hello,
My name is Ty Lilja, and I’ve done a lot of genealogy on my great grandfather Otto Lilja. He immigrated to America in 1913.
He had a number of siblings who either immigrated to the United States or stayed in Sweden, and I’m curious about what happened to them. Specifically, I’m interested in connecting with members of the extended Lilja family in America and Sweden descended from the following set of siblings:
1. Sara Maria Lilja/Bonderson b. 1870-07-10 d. 1940-11-23 in Traverse Twsp, MN.
2. Hilda Lovisa Lilja b. 1871-08-24 d. 1871-12-13 in Dädesjö, Sweden.
3. Peter August Lilja b. 187212-05 d. 1900 ? in St. Peter, MN.
4. Carl Ludwig (“Charles”) Lilja b. 1874-02-15 d. 1950-10-18 in Waterville, MN.
5. Johan Emil (“John”) Lilja b. 1875-05-27 d. 1930-08-15 in Minneapolis, MN.
6. Frans Oskar Lilja b. 1877-02-05 d. 1938-02-04 in Växjö, Sweden.
7. Axel (“Frank?”) Lilja b. 1878-09-26 d. 1931-08-15 in Minneapolis, MN
8. Lovisa Katarina Lilja b. 1880-12-10 d. 1938-06-18 in Aringsås, Sweden.
9. Melker Lilja b. 1882-10-20 d. 1940-06-15 in Växjö, Sweden.
10. Ida Martina Lilja b.1885-06-06 d. 1949-03-23 in Los Angeles, CA.
11. Elna Kristina Lilja b. 1887-12-20 d. 1916-03-02 in Alvesta, Sweden
12. Gustaf Hjalmar Tolf Lilja b. 1889-04-13 d. 1943-11-08 in Västervik, Sweden.
13. Per Otto Lilja b. 1892-07-15 d. 1966-11-04 in Minneapolis, MN
14. Helga Sofia Johanna Lilja b. 1894-09-25 d. 1965-12-12 in Dädesjö, Sweden
Otto’s father, Jonas Carlsson Lilja (1847-1924) was the first member of our family to carry the name Lilja, so I know I’m not related to any Liljas outside this set of the siblings.
Hope to hear from you!

Hello new to this, I have two lines I'm following to Sweden, the first is Johan Samuelson born on 22 February, 1821 in Ulricehamn, Vastra Gotalands. He died in Elgin, Illinois on 4 September 1890. Employed as a watch maker in Elgin.
His wife Johanna Samuelson (Lars Dotter I belive) born on 16 April 1824 in Alvsborg, Vastra Gotalands and died on 21 October 1891 in Elgin, Illinois. I would appreciate any help. Thank You in advance, Philip Johnson (Gustafson)... ancestry also from Sweden... My email is prop4u@yahoo.com

Johannes Samuelsson gives me trouble. The Ulricehamn books are not my favorite.
I dont find him in the birthday book
Ulricehamn (P) C:3 (1768-1823) Bild 1
I find this family with a not perfect match
Samuel Pettersson born 1779
Maria Andersdotter born 1785
Christina born 1811
Carl Johan born 1814
Johan born 18 feb 1821
Magnus born 4 oct 1826
Ulricehamn (P) AI:1 (1818-1832) Bild 180 / sid 351
I have not been able to follow this family to verify if it
is right one.
