Agunnaryd parish, Smaaland--Johannes Williamson & Ingrid Svanson & son Oscar J. Williamson

[Ann Lynn Graham]

According to his obituary,my grandfather, Oscar J. Williamson was born April 30, 1880, in Agunnaryd parish, Smaaland, the only son of Johannes Williamson (born in 1832--but perhaps this date is wrong, as that would mean a gap of 25 yrs. between their ages) and his wife Ingrid Svanson (born in 1857).  They were also of this parish.  In the fall of 1880, they came to the US and settled in Chicago, Illinois or Racine, Wisconsin.  Johannes was a tailor, and Ingrid died in Racine in 1884.  My grandfather was cared for by Ingrid's sister, Mrs. Emma Christensen.  Oscar also had an aunt at Malmo, Sweden, but I do not know if this aunt was sister to his mother or his father.  I would be so grateful for any further information about my great-grandparents and their families, ancestors, and if there are decendants.  THANK YOU.
