Agnell - emigration CD request

[Leo McIntyre]

I am trying to obtain information regarding an ancestor who emigrated from Sweden.  The 1900 U.S. census has his name as George Agnell b. March 1867, emigrating from Sweden in 1882.  He was divorced in 1906 and the papers show the name Gustaf.  The 1920 U.S. census shows Gustaf Agnell in Iowa.  He is divorced, born about 1868 in Sweden, with year of immigration as 1883.  I am fairly certain this is the same person.
 
Any information regarding other family with whom he was traveling, parents, or town of origin in Sweden would be very helpful.  If there weren't a record on the CD, any other research recommendations would also be appreciated.

Thank you for the quick response.  The Aron Gustaf Agnell seems to be the same person I am researching.  He would have been 16 yrs of age and emigrated alone.  Was this very common at that time?  
 
I also have a question regarding the source for the information regarding the parents, Johannes and Lisa (Clerical Survey).  I am not familiar with this.  If these are the parents the mother would have been 35 yrs of age at the time of his birth.  She would have been 38 and 41 yrs at the time of the birth of Peter and August, respectively.  Would this have been likely, especially back at that time?
 
Another thing I should mention.  My grandmother was the daughter of Gustaf.  Little was known of him because he left the family when she was very young.  She did tell me before she died that her father had a sister, Anna, whom I assumed was in the U.S.  Is there an Anna mentioned as a child of Johannes and Lisa? (I note that Theodore's wife had that name.)

Aron Gustaf - birth record from Rydaholm - taken from an excerpt from book of births. This excerpt is from the so called scb files - the parish had to report to Statistics Sweden every year after 1860 re. birth, marriages and deaths. The  online service from Genline.com (subscription) offers this excerpts from the Swedish parishes. They also have clerical surveys,(even called household examination rolls), moving in/out records and so on. Another supplier of these online records is www.svar.se (subscription)
 
Screenshot below.
 
The father, Johannes Agnell, was a grenadier (soldier) and the family resided in 1863 at Koltorp, Rydaholm.
 
I went to the clerical survey for Rydaholm between 1861 and 1866, volume AI:18 pg 484, GID 1126.32.53600   (GID= Genline Identification Number)
and found that Johannes Agnell was born Johannes Petersson, and as a soldier he got the soldier's name Agnell (an extra last name)
 
they had these children according to the page I referred to,
 
Anders Magnus b. 31 March 1854 in Ryssby;
 
d. Ingrid Maria b. 2 Sept. 1856 in Rydaholm;
 
s. Carl Leonard b. 28 Sept. 1858  in Rydaholm;
 
s. Johan Daniel b. 22 March 1861 in Rydaholm;
 
d. Anna Stina b. 28 March 1863 in Rydaholm;
 
next clerical survey confirming birth of three sons, for whom I have already declared.

Bo,
I think that this additional information explains things.  Gustaf did have a sister and was the 6th child, explaining the mother's age.  
 
I started my family history research about 30 yrs ago and did it for a short while.  I started again about  10 yrs ago, again for a brief time.  I have had fairly good success with all the family lines except for Agnell.  It has frustrated me that I wasn't able to go further.  
 
My mother is 88 yrs of age and has been very interested to learn about her Swedish ancestry.  Thank you so much for the information that you have provided.  
 
I may have another question to post after I have had a chance to process everything.
