I am trying to trace Peter and his family back to Sweden.  Peter's granddaughter was my grandmother.  I have already found my grandfather in Sweden as someone had previously found him.  I have used ArkivDigital and this forum to trace him and his family back to the mid-1700's.  Here is everything I know about this family.
 
Per the US 1870, 1880, and 1900 census (the US 1890 census was destroyed by fire) a family with the following individuals immigrated to the USA in 1864 (maybe 1865), probably all together.  The only names I have are the ones they used in the USA. They were in Chicago Illinois in 1870 and Rock Island County, Illinois and nearby areas after that.
 
The family name is sometimes Olson, and other times Oleson or Olsen.  Peter and Ellen said they were married in 1860.  In some cases I have a birth month as it was collected in the 1900 census (Peter died by then and I am unsure of what happened to Anna-still working on her). Nels has an exact date from his death notice. As usual with dates, be careful as people sometimes changed dates for various reasons.  The years are more likely accurate within 1 year (as the US census asks only for age).
 
Peter O Olson   1835      father, a tailor in the 1880 census
Ellen Olson   March 1831    wife
Nels N      27 May 1862    son
Anna or Annie   1863       daughter
Olaf or Olof   May 1864    son (he is my direct ancestor)
(they had several more children after coming to North America)
 
I have tried to find them on ships.  I have tried to find their births in Sweden using Ancestry.com but without knowing the Swedish surname and exact birthdates, that is almost impossible.  Any suggestions on how to proceed would we helpful.  Thank you.

You say you already found your grandfather in Sweden but you don\t mention his place of birth.

My grandfather was from Muggebo, Oppeby, Östergötland, Sweden.  Unfortunately, since they married in the USA, this does help much.

Hi David, this looks like it might be your family from the Emibas CD, except your ancestor Olaf is missing.  Perhaps he was born in May 1865 while the family was en route?  Although  the Emibas CD lists Per Olsson's occupation as Torpare (crofter or tenant farmer), the Household Examination record looks like it says Torpare fra Skrädd, I'm not sure about the middle word but the last one is definitely an abbreviation of Skräddare or tailor.

Thank you for this information which works well with and adds to a search on another thread that is now going forward: http://aforum.genealogi.se/discus/messages/44/8419.html?1435839574.  I found some incomplete information in other person's family treee in Ancestry.com that lead me there.
