Thankyou so much for passing along this information. Yes August Fridolf was my great-great grandfather who emigrated in 1881 to Connecticut and never returned to Sweden. I read Ingela Martenius's piece on Swedish emigration and August seems to have left Sweden for more than one of those reasons. He did live on a farm called Bjorntorp in Grebo and may have been doing military service before he emigrated. There is an entry in the Grebo Husförhorslangd 1876-1880 AI:13 p. 90 line 6 under a column that reads Fräjd och särskilda anleckningar? But I was not sure how this tranlated.
