Comments: This was the first time Karl immigrated to the US. I have
his immigrations records from 1925 that state he was in the States
from 1910 to 1912. I have verbal confirmation from his son that the
years are accurate.
Karl's older brother Magnus Hilding Löfvenborg (born August 07,
1882, Gnarp, Gavelborg län (Gefleborgs), Sweden) had immigrated in
1907 from Överlulea, Norrbotten, Sweden to Calumet, Michigan, USA
this is verified by ship passenger lists. According to his
immigration records Magnus was in the US from 1907 to 1912. I have
been told that he and Karl traveled together in 1910, so I can only
assume that Magnus returned to Sweden and accompanied Karl on the
trip to the US. I have found no listing for them arriving at Ellis
Island during the earlier trips, I believe it is possible that their
port of arrival was in Canada. Mora, Minnesota is close to the
Canadian border and that would make sense. I have made a request for
information through St. Albans, however they came up empty. I have a
photograph taken at a Canadian logging camp, they worked their way
from Minnesota to Seattle, Washington through Canada.
Parents of Karl Vilhelm Löfvenborg:
Lars Magnus Löfvenborg June 05, 1836 Slärstad, Jönköp län., Sweden
Karin Tunström October 02, 1850 Hille, Gavelborg län., Sweden
Thank you for any information you are able to find. Sincerely Tammy Adams
