I am using this fora to search for descendants to ancestors to me from Odensvi parish in Vastmanland, Sweden.  
The family I have information about left Sweden and came to Iowa in 1880. Below follows the information I have about the family so far.  
 
Mr. John/Johannes Norsen born 1841 in Traryd, Sweden.  
Mrs. Lowisa Norsen (born Pettersson) born 1848 in Odensvi, Vastmanland, Sweden. (Lovisas sister Stina is one of my ancestors)  
Son Charles Joel Norsen, born 11th of May 1874 in Odensvi, Sweden. However at this time the family lived in Stockholm.  
Daug. Ellen Norsen, born 1878 likely in Stockholm, Sweden.  
 
I have found the family in emigration records in Sweden and from that we know that they left Sweden from Gothenburg  
at the 7th of May 1880, destination New York.  
 
In the US census records I have found the family in the 1880 census. They lived in the householf of G. Norsen (Johannes  
brother) at the adress 600 2nd St, Des Moines, Polk, Iowa.  
 
Regarding the son to Johannes and Lowisa I have a photo taken in Holyohe, Colorado probably during the period 1890 to 1910.  
 
Any assistance that can help me to find descendants in Nort America to Johannes and Lowisa or their son Charles is very much appriciated.  
 
Best regards from Mr. Soren Eriksson, Linkoping, Sweden.
