I am seeking information on my great-grandfather. His name in America was Andrew Johnson. His name is Anders “Johanson” on page 12 of the records from Bethlehem Lutheran Church, town of Ridgway, state of Pennsylvania. He was born March 3, 1848 in Fellingsbro, Örebro län.
From Naturalization Records (Elk County Courthouse, Ridgway, Pennsylvania), he emigrated in 1882 and arrived in New York, New York. From the marriage certificate for Andrew and Carolina Johnson, they were married on 28-Oct-1882 in Wilcox, Elk County, Pennsylvania. They lived in the towns of Wilcox, Blue Rock, Carrier, and Brockwayville (all in Pennsylvania). Andrew was naturalized on 17-Sep-1888 and died on 29-Nov-1923.
The website for Orebro Stadsarkiv has an entry for an emigrant Anders “Jansson” who was born March 3, 1848 in Fellingsbro:

The last name is “Jansson” in the emigrant record, but is “Johanson” in the church record, but the birthdate and birthplace match. Could someone please look up the household examination rolls? Husförhörslängd - sida 1878-1887 S. 300.
I am also seeking information on his family in Sweden - his obituary states that he was survived by a brother John and a sister Anna in Sweden.
