1890 emigration of Anna Carolina Gustafsdotter

[Julie Parker]

I am looking for information about my great grandmother, who left Goteborg on approximately June 15, 1890. She was born Dec. 16, 1860, in Kalmar Län, but I do not know the parish or village. I believe her birth name was Anna Carolina Gustafsdotter. Her father's name was Gust Andersson. I don't know her mother's name. She had two brothers who also emigrated to the United States, but I don't know their names. All three of them eventually wound up in the state of Washington. In the United States, she was known as Annie C. Anderson and Carolina A. Anderson, and her nickname was Lina.
 
The emigration date of June 15, 1890, appears on naturalization documents.
It is possible that she emigrated in 1891. That date appears on a U.S. census record.
 
Thank you for your help.

This may be her, but I'm not sure. I searched for Anna, Gusta, 1860 and Kalmar län on the CD Sveriges befolkning 1890 (Swedish population 1890). Only one was named Anna Karolina.

1. Census is somewhat incorrect. She is found at nbr 69, Southern block.
Born 17 Dec 1860. Her birth record tells us father was Erland Peter Gustafsson
and mother Karolina Maria Johansson.
Source for birth record:   GID  75.120.74300,  [Kalmar]  Kalmar Stadsförsamling,  CI.10, Födde, 1859 - 1860, 0-105,  Bild 58 av 61    
Source for residence as of 1890: GID 75.91.56600,  [Kalmar]  Kalmar Stadsförsamling,  AI.91, Husförhör, 1886-1900, 149-0,  Bild 80 av 124    
 
2. She is residing with her parents as of 1900 according to Census.
 
The clue seems to be: forget her.

Thank you, Anna, for your quick response. This certainly sounds possible, but I am wondering if, in 1890, she was using the last name of Andersson. I am not  sure when Sweden stopped using the patronymic naming pattern.
 
I am certain that her father's name was Gust/Gustaf Andersson, so perhaps by 1890, she was using the name Anna Carolina Andersson instead of Gustafsdotter. Is it possible to search for her again?
 
If your Anna Karolina Gustafsson is the same person as the one found by Bo Nordenfors in the next post, then she's not the right person, because in 1900 she was living in Seattle, Washington, USA.

Thank you also to Bo Nordenfors. I appreciate your help. I don't think the person you found is the correct one, because in 1900, she was living in Seattle, Washington, USA. She married my great grandfather in Seattle in 1892, so I am looking for someone who resided in Sweden before 1890. Is it possible to check emigration records?
