ANDERSSON(ANDERSON), Alfred, born 3 Feb. 1863 Sweden

[Deane Craig of Las Vegas Nevada-USA]

This is new to me and I certinaly don't read Swedish, but, I have received information from the Swedish Emigration CD (Källkod number: 18:60:12993) that states an Alfred Andersson, age 18, from Gotland county, left Goteborg on 8 Jul.1881 for Kankakee(Illinois-USA).  I believe this to be my great grandfather.  I would like to confirm this.  Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

Deane, I too have some difficulty in understanding swedish words, and of all the counties in IL, you chose Kankakee! My Anderssons came there too, after 1868.

nutseyb:Carl Adam Andersson born Nov.25 1848 went to Illinois USA in May 1879. His father was Anders Gustaf Niklasson, Larum Farm, Hannäs parish Sweden Do we have a match?

Some american words are difficult to understand,
like nutseyb. Is that a first name, middle name
or family name. We use names here.
To Ishbel:
Hannäs parish is in Kalmar county, province of
Småland. PLF can probably help you.
To Deane: What parish in Gotland county did he
come from?
