Alfred Anderson, f. 1853, Värmland

[Norm Sandin]

Please excuse my lack of Swedish.  Can anyone help me locate information on my farmorfar?  He was born in Värmland (info from my farfar) in 1855 (from his headstone).  He married Louisa Johnson (born 12/13/1855 in Nya Kopperberget, Västmanlands) and they had two children in Sweden (Albert and Charles).  They emigrated to the US sometime before 1879 (since their daughter Hilma L. was born in Bessemer, Michigan in that year).  I would love to know who his parents were, when he left Sweden, exactly where they lived, etc.

I have just returned from Bessemer, MI where I found that most of the above information is incorrect.  When I have digested what I have, I will post an updated query.  Thank you!

I found my relatives Johan Alfred Andersson, Anna Lovisa Jansdotter, and their daughter (my grandmother) Hilma Leontina.  All three were born in Västmanland.  You can see my family tree at
