I'm not sure that it was a farm (however small). Johan is recorded as sawmill worker and stoker already in Gudmundrå AI/8b pp. 454, 491. The records of the Swedish National Survey Office show that a lot of small allotments were parceled off larger estates and farms in Frånö in the 1880's and 1890's and bought by workers. Those allotments were often priced at around SEK 500. I haven't found Johan's name among the parcelling documents, but it might well be that he bought one of those. Buying/selling real estate in Sweden is always registered by the courts. I've found Johan twice in the records from Gudmundrå tingslag, Ångermanlands södra domsaga. He buys the house/cottage Sept. 10 1896 and the title deed is issued Febr. 11 1897: https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/H0001064_00069 No information about how much he paid. This might be in the contract, which is probably archived even if it's not accessible online. Next mentioning of Johan is from 1910, after the estate inventory following Anna Brita's death. Johan and the children are registered as the owners of two cottages: Lövbacken No. 1 and Forslunds torp. Both cottages are sold to Petrus Öberg and his wife May 22 1910 (title deed issued Nov. 1 1910): https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/H0001065_00138 It's probably now that Petrus Öberg's name is entered in the parish records as the new owner. So they seem to have kept their home in Sweden during their first eight years in the US.
