I am looking for any information about Gustaf Alfred Svensson:
Gustaf Alfred Svensson 1866–1921 BIRTH 20 APR 1866 • Traryd, Traheryd, Kronoberg, Sweden DEATH 18 FEB 1921 • Ragunda, Jämtland, Sweden
He is the owner/operator of an Inn in Ragunda. His parents and siblings are from Traryd, Kronoberg. I believe he operated the Inn from 1898-1903. He had three employee from Ragunda (see below). It looks like he employed two maids and a saddler:
