Ferd Carlmark (born 1841) & Sigrid Wagenius (born Aug 4, 1845)

[Cheryl Tolofson]

I am looking for early history on my gggrandparents, Ferd Carlmark (born Sept 19, 1841) and Sigrid J. Wagenius (born Aug 4, 1845).  They emigrated to Minnesota in 1880.
Ferd was the son of Erick J.Carlmark and Ingeborg Johnson.  Sigrid was the daughter of Paul Wagenius.
They emigrated with their children...
Kristine (born May 1868)  
Eric (born May 26, 1871)
Anna (born Sept 23, 1876)  
Ida Mathilde (born July 1879)
Also emigrating was Ferd's sister..Kathrina (Catrina) Carlmark (born May 1860).
I am not totally sure where this family came from in Sweden.
Thank you for any help you can give me.
