Hello again,
It has been a few years since my last question.  I am wondering if you can help me confirm if this is my ancestor or not.  From Emigranten popular, 1783-1951.  Carl Schon, born about 1843, place of origin Mofalla Vastra Gotaland Lan Sverige, destination Chicago, port of departure Goteborg, I know that my ancestor is Carl Albrecht Schon, born 29 March 1841 in Horup, father Hakan, mother Kjerste Ervastsdtr, he was a soldier, I find him living in Chicago Illinois USA in 1869 and in Minnesota USA 1872 until his death.  Thank you,
Mark Pettit

His name in Emigranten was CARL SCHÖN, age 26, from MOFALLA Skaraborg county, emigration date 1869-05-14, together with wife BETTY age 29. Source code 1:441:433.
 
I looked in the Mofalla HFL, and the only Carl emigrating 1869 to America that I could find was Carl Magnusson born 1841-08-19. GID 641.6.59800 [Skaraborg] Mofalla AI.4 HFL 1862-1876 page 38.
 
He is in the previous HFL AI:3 1860-1862 page 329 (GID 641.2.32500) at Svebråta Nolgård, together with parents and siblings:
 
- former soldier Magnus Skön, born 1806-02-27 Fröjered.
- wife Stina Olofsdotter, born 0809-02-04 Mofalla(?).
- 4 children born 1841-1850.
