Elisabeth,

Elizabeth Maria (Johansdotter) Burman, b. 1829-01-02 is my great-great grandmother.

Lisa Maja Johansdotter, Elizabeth Maria Johansdotter or, in America, Elizabeth Burman (1829-1921), emmigrated from Åsjön,  Bygdeå parish, Västerbotten county, Sweden to Center, South Dakota, USA in 1889.
Elizabeth traveled to America with:
* her second husband Anders Burman,
* her son Anders Andersson Åström (1854-1943), my great-grandfather,
* Hilma Maria Anderson (b. 1886). 
They joined two of her sons who already emmigrated to America:
* Johan Anderson (b. 1850), and
* Nils Peter Anderson (b. 1886). Nils would later emmigrate to Cuba for a short time.
Anders Burman died during the voyage or shortly after arriving in in America.

Elizabeth Burman was never in California, but lived in South Dakota.

Elizabeth Maria Burman died 1921-12-30 in Canova, South Dakota, USA.

I have a photo of Elizabeth.

I am writing a family history of Elisabet Maria (Johansdotter) Strid, 1829-1921 and her husband, Anders Mårtensson 1820-1869 of Åsjön, Västerbotten, Sweden, and their descendants and ancestors.

Her familysearch page is here:
https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/L4QY-RND
Attached there are two known photos of her and other documents.

Three of her sons (and herself) left in the 1880s to South Dakota, USA. One went to the Swedish Sugar settlement at Bayate, Cuba, then returned to the US. Three daughters remained in Sweden, but migrated south to Timerå, near Sundsvall, where there were plenty of jobs in the lumber industry.

Three of her daughters died young.

One son, Karl Åström, remained in Sweden and his descendants are in  Västerbotten.
