Carlson, Carl Gustaf, born 1859 March 4

[jackie]

I am loking for my ancestor Carl Gustaf Carlson, who was born somewhere in Östergötland in 1859 March 4, and emigrated with his parents in 1871 and supposedly settled in Red Wing, Minnesota.
 
His father's name was Carl, that is all I know.

Carl Johan Carlsson, age 22, went from Gothenburg 1871 june 16, to Redwing. Home parish given as Åsnestad. He travelled alone.

Jackie,
In the database I found:
There were 20 Carlssons going to Redwing from Östergötland between 1869 and 1882, but Carl Johan was the only one going in 1871.
There were 62 Carlssons going from Östergötland to US in 1871, Carl Johan the only one with ticket for Redwing.
None of them seems to be a close match to your Carl Gustaf. He could of course have been living somewhere else between birth and emigration.
The family could have had tickets for some other place, there were quite a few going to Chicago and New York.

Jackie,
Do you know the names of his parents? Is his father´s surname the same as Carl Gustav´s is?  
Kind regards
