Johnson, John E & family Emigr 1907

[David Minard]

Looking for family information on the following Johnson's. Mainly parents and any other siblings. Have photos from early 1900's I am trying to label.
John Edward Johnson b 03 Nov 1887 d 1951 Minneapolis MN USA  emmigrated to US around 1907.
Brothers Sam, Alex
Sisters Edith, Elizabeth, Freda
Elizabeth married Axel Lundun around 1900 per photo
It was written that they were all born in Westerland;Vastra Gotaland (?) not sure of town name translation.
Have picture of farm in Sweden with parents and some of the children. No labels.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

The Elisabeth in the above family would have been FAR too young to marry around 1890. She did marry an Axel in 1921, but his last name was Johansson.

[David Minard]

Judy, thanks so much.  This was fast!  Matches up very well especially Johan Edvard's information.
Sam must have been quite a bit older than Johan since he's not listed with the 1890 census.
I'm guessing the name of the town is Sodra Lundby and not sure what 'Anders Olofs eller Larsgislesg' means.
Now I have names for my photos. Thanks again.

Södra Lundby is the name of the parish. (Records were kept in the parish.) Skaraborg was the county name, but in modern times it is part of Västra Götaland county. Västergötland is the province name.
 
Eller means or. The location within the parish (probably a farm but perhaps a village) apparently was called either Anders Olofsgården or Lars Gislesgården.

Thanks for clearing up the place names. I'm learning.
Re Elizabeth - the photo could be labeled wrong but I'm pretty sure it was taken in Sweden. Logo shows Axel Larson (studio) Goteborg.
Possibly taken in early 1920's.
The emmigration information will help me track them here.  Since they came at different times it's hard to be sure if I have found the right person.  Also, they used different names after arrival. I know Sannfrid (Sam) had a daughter Edith, who never married. Lived in Minnesota.
Will look further on this end.

David,
 
Try using the Swenson Swedish Immigration Research Center. It has a website (Google it.) but its extensive collection of records is NOT online. We need to go there to research or pay them to research for us. They have resources which are difficult or even impossible to find elsewhere, and many of us have been helped by this archive.
 
I've learned much about the lives of my relatives in the U.S. (until about 1930) by using this archive, and I've found parishes of birth for those who married into our family using this archive. It is a wonderful resource.
 
Judy

[David Minard]

I will check into that.  It's funny but my other Swedish line is Swenson.  John Edward married Wilhemina Swenson.  
I have some posting to do at Ancestry.com and my computer program.  
Thank you so much. I've been missing most of this in my research.
 
David

[Judy Olson Baouab]

I googled a lot and found this page, in Swedish.
 
http://www.gamlavykort.nu/forum3/forum_posts.asp?TID=541&PN=91
 
Google Translate isn't perfect, but it says this about Axel Larsson, photographer.
 
Axel Larsen, a photographer in Gothenburg, Victoria Street 11, established in 1890 with branches in Axvall, Mölndal and Lindholmens Shipyard (Hisingen), is included in the Swedish photographers list in 1899 - all according to Lennart Quick summaries http://www.genealogi.se/ fotogr.htm Apparently not included in the 1911 list, if there can be no management.
 
Maybe the Swedes will provide a better translation for you.
