Andersson & Carlsson roots in Västra Götaland>Orter>Tidaholm

[Rachael Anderson]

Per Alfred Andersson was born in Tidaholm, Sweden April 1871. His father was Anders Carlsson. His mother's name I have seen written a few ways: Christina Mell, Kristina Mills, Maria C. Mill.  
 
Anders & his wife had at least one other son, Gustaf Anderson, as well as two daughters, Anna & (presently unknown). There could have been more.  
 
Per Alfred emigrated to the US in 1892. His known siblings may have joined him, or later followed. Eventually they would all end up in the Springfield, MA area. Whether his mother & father emigrated to the US is unknown at this time.  
 
Per Alfred eventually began using Alfred P. Anderson as his signature and married Huldah Peterson. Her parents appear to be Joseph & Aurora Peterson, also from Sweden (emigrated to US in 1887). They would have three children together.  
 
I would truly appreciate any other information regarding Per Alfred's birth, his siblings, parents, other family, and/or home & perish in Tidaholm.  
 
Thank You!

Hello Rachel,
I tried to find Per Alfred Andersson for you. I found one with that name. He emigrated aged 22, on April/29/1982 to Princeton, but he did not come from Tidaholm, but from Ramsberg, which is in the Örebro area, north of Västergötland.His sourcecode is 47:567:47249. I´ll continue my search, but do you have any more info?Brgds

Bertil! Om du söker efter Ramsberg på Lantmäteriets sida hittar du Ramsberg, Falköping. Det är ju faktiskt inte så långt mellan Falköping och Tidaholm...

Hej Bertil! Ransberg med n ligger i nuvarande Tibro, Västergötland.Förväxlas emellanåt med Ramsberg.Detta har hänt mig.

[Bertil Friberg]

Hej Berith och Lars för kommentar, men det står faktiskt Ramsberg T, således Örebro län

Hej
Det finns en Per Alfred Andersson född i Ramsbergs förs. 26/7 1866 i Hägernästorp, Ramsbergs förs.(T)
Han tog ut flyttbetyg från Ramsbergs förs.den 20/4 1892 och är troligen identisk med den som reste den 29/4 1892.
Detta är den person som finns i Ramsbergs förs.(T)
Troligen fel person???
 
mvh

Hej alla!
Jag vill bara meddela att även vi har blivit kontaktade av Rachael (genom brev). Vi har lokaliserat hennes förfader Per Alfred Andersson. Han visade sig vara född i Dimbo (en socken utanför Tidaholm) den 15 april 1871. I Emihamn finns han noterad som Per A Andersson 20 år från Varv 1891 till Orange. Familjen bodde i Varv när han reste.
Rachael är informerad. Hon kommer på besök till Tidaholm i maj!

Hello and Thank you so much to everyone for your help! A special Thank you to Kjell for finding not only my great grandfather, but his parents and 9 siblings, etc!
 
How exciting that was for me! So many questions were answered, while some new ones came to light -- I suppose that is the beauty of genealogy though, yes? (warm smile)
 
I am looking forward to my visit to Tidaholm in May!  
 
Thank you so much again!
