Thank you Carl-Johan for so much information.  I have also found August Leonard in the U.S.  If you are interested, I can tell you more about those who emigrated.  Thank you too, to Stig.  I have found an Eva Liljeman in Boston in 1881.  I don't know if she is Eleanora's sister.  Have also found a John Liljeman, emigrated in 1872--had married Anna Gustafsson Forsberg.  Perhaps he is Carl Johan.  I need to search the census for his birth date.

I´m sorry Ann that I haven´t searched on my ancestors name Liljeman at Internet before. But hopefully I can still help you.
 
I have the same Jan Liljeman born 1765 in my family tree as Stig Geber.  
 
According to my information Jan Liljeman and his wife Stina Olsdotter had 7 children, 5 girls and 2 boys.  
 
The names are : Lisa born 1790, Jan born 1791, Stina Cajsa born 1792 (my ancestor), Olof born 1795, Anna Maria born 1797, Johanna born 1802 and Eva Lena born 1805. All children born in Liljendal, Rämmens parish, Värmland.
 
The son JAN born 1791 married Susanna Pettersdotter and they got a son,  
JAN PETTER born 27 june 1821 in Rämmen.  
They also got a daughter, EVA STINA born 15 November 1825 in Rämmen.
 
This is the information I have at the moment but I will continue to update it.

Thanks/Tak Kerstin, that ties all the Liljemans together.  The John Liljeman in Minnesota is not Carl Johan.  Perhaps he is in your line.  This John was born Jan 1834.  I look forward to anything new.  So my Jan, born 1791 and your Stina Cajsa, born 1792 were brother and sister and Stig's Olaf, born 1795 is another brother. I saw Stig's Eva, born 1805 in the LDS Family Search site but no more info than Stig has.  Ann
