Bengta and Hanna Nilsdotter

[Karen Kelsey]

I am searching for information about Bengta Nilsdotter and her sister, Hanna Nilsdotter.  There might be some information already posted on this site, but submitted in Swedish.  Could someone use the search engine to see if these people were already studied?
BENGTA NILSDOTTER, born about 1846 in Gumlosa, Sweden.  She emigrated in October 1901 with her son, Nils Jansson, born 26 Feb 1885 in Önnestad, Kristianstad municipality, Skåne.  Bengta had three children, and at least two of them were born out-of-wedlock.  Sigrid Selma Bengtasdotter (or Olsson) came to the U.S. earlier, and she adopted the name of Olsson, saying that her father had been Ollie Olsson.  Elna Jansson was Bengta's other daughter, but we have no birth date or date of emigration.  Bengta (Bertha), Elna (Ellen) and Nils (Nels) adopted the surname of Brostrom after they arrived in Maywood, Cook County, Illinois.  We do not know why they chose that surname.
HANNA NILSDOTTER (Bengta's sister) was born in 1842 in Skåne Sweden.  She emigrated around 1882, according to the U.S. census, and she came with her husband, Nils Andersson and children: Alma, Anton, Matilda, Nils Olof, Selma, Augusta and Otto.
   We were told that the information we received a few years ago came from this site.  If there is anything already written here, could someone help me translate?  If not, perhaps someone could help me check the information we received?  I realize that the surname of Nilsdotter is common, and it might be very difficult to find this family.  I thank you in advance for searching.
