Johan Gottfrid Andersson (b 1876 in Kisa)

[Sofia Ingmarsson]

I am looking for further whereabouts regarding my relative Johan Gottfrid Andersson, born on Feb 17, 1876 in Kisa parish, Sweden. He emigrated to America on Apr 9, 1903.
 
In Oct 1908, his widowed mother came over as well. Her name was Anna Lovisa Carlsson née Svensdotter, born in Västra Eneby parish on Mar 4, 1840.
 
This is unfortunately all the information I have got on this family. I would like to know more on them. Where they settled, did Johan ever marry, when and where did they die?
Does anyone have access to the Ancestry website and can help me look?
 
Hoping for help!
Sofia

Hej Kerstin!
Det verkar vara rätt personer Du hittat. Gottfrid och hans Alma måste ha träffats redan i Sverige. Dottern Elisabet som anges vara från hennes första gifte var i själva verket oäkta och placerad som fosterbarn hos Gottfrids föräldrar. Hon skickades till Amerika som 8-åring.
 
Stort tack för hjälpen!
