Andersson, Tobias from Mjöback, Alvsborg lan

[Jim Diehl]

I am looking for information on Tobias Andersson. He was my grandfather. According to information in his obituary, he was born in Mjöback on December 12, 1856.  He married Johanna Svensdotter and had 3 children in Sweden: Emma, Anders, and Anna. He came to the USA and arrived in New York on the SS Etruria on April 18, 1892. I would like to find information on Tobias' birth, christening, confirmation, and ancestry, especially his parents.  Any documentation confirming any of this and leads on his parents would be very much appreciated.
