Titel: Thelma Leifgren, Härnösand

In the USA, my great grandmother went by the maiden name of Thelma Augusta Leifgren. She claimed a birth date of February, 1865. On the birth record of one of her children, she indicated she was born in Härnösand.
On census records Thelma indicated she'd arrived in the USA in 1880.
She always told her children that she came to the USA with relatives, both of her parents were deceased (prior to her emigration) and that she was an only child.
I am having no luck finding information on Thelma Augusta Leifgren. Many U.S. records have various spellings of her last name such as Leifgren Leafgren. I have a feeling the last name may have been Löfgren in Sweden... I also wonder if there is a different spelling of her first name - Thilma or Tilma possibly?
If any one has any information, or thoughts on where I might look for information, please advise. Thank you in advance. Erica Larsson-Hearne
