Hello Jim, was your ancestor August Fridolf Carlsson Malmström born Aug. 16 1859 in Grebo and emigrating from Björntorp Aug. 26, 1881, according to the database EMIBAS?
His father was Carl Fredrik born 1809 in Grebo and he was son of Lay Judge (I think that is the right translation, in Swedish Nämndeman/Härads domare) Magnus Petersson born 1774 in Grebo and Maria Beata Beckwall. Carl Fredrik moved to the parish Askeby in 1845 and when me moved back to Grebo in 1853 he called himself Carl Fredrik Malmström. From what I can see, none of his brothers or sisters changed their names. They all used the patronymic Magnusson.
