Hallo again David! I am glad you found so much data in the file. Just be aware of that the file consists of secondary information, not the source itself, so there may be errors.
Your questions: 1.As Maja is a nickname for Maria (Mary) in Sweden, maybe Anna Maja became Mary A in the US, but about this we can only speculate. 2. äe means the following. ä is short for änka (=widow) or änkling (=widower) and e is short for efter (= after), so Olof Ekstrom was a widower after someone. I can also mention that the abbreviation G stands for married (gift in Swedish), OG for unmarried (ogift), if you find this somewhere. 3. oäkta dotter means a daughter where the parents were not married. Sometimes the father is unknown in this cases.
