Johan/John Emanuel Nelson

[Anita Karlsson]

Hi,
 
I wonder if anyone know where Johan Emanuel Nilson or Nilsson was born? He was born about 1862,someplace in Sweden.  First, he emigrated to Brudvig, Osteroy, Oslo, Norway around 1880 to 1882 to work on the Fossmark farm.  He fell in love with Anna Johannesdotter Fossmark, whose parents owned the farm where Johan worked. When Anna immigrated to the USA around 1883 to 1885 Johan followed her and they got married in the USA in 1888.  His name was then spelled Johan or John Emanuel Nelson. His nickname was Monta. He died in 1898 in North Dakota.
 
I hope that someone know his birthplace.
 
Regards,
 
Anita.

Hej C-G!
 
Tusen Tack för ditt svar. Har tittat på genline och funnit familjen här:
AI:11, 1876-85, Krika, V.Sönnarslöv, s.195, genline:1724.32.31800.
 
Johan Emanuel är född 16/4 1862 i Sönnarslöv och han flyttar till Helsingborg 13/10 1882. Vet ej om det kan vara rätt person.  
 
Kan någon se om han flyttade från Helsingborg till Norge?
