[Maxine]

I am trying to find imformation on MY  
grandparents who came from Sweden . theri  
names were  Andrew Larson Larson was  
Andrew's  last name in Sweden and he  
changed his last name to Peterson when he  
came to America). Andrew was born iApril 26,  
1875 in Haganas , Sweden and died 1964 in  
Boone, Iowa. His father was Peter Larson and  
mother kate Anderson. I think he had other  
brothers too. As far as I know , he came to  
America as a young man alone.
Sophia Ingeborg Johnson was born Dec. 1st  
or 7th 1876 or 1877 in Dalsland, Sweden and  
died in Boone, IOwa 1957. Her parents were  
Anna L .Johnson and  John Johnson (.Anna
was married to an Magnus Olson before she  
married John Johnson). Out of the Olson  
marriage; there was a child -Ida Olson who  
would be Sophia' s half sister . Sophia had  
another sister Mae G ( I think this was her  
Name) , and Frank Julius Johnson Born  
1865-1875.
Anna and the children left for America in 1881  
and left the husband John Johnson there in  
Sweden because he got a young girl  
pregnant.
I would like to know how to trace John  
Johnson who stayed in Sweden as far as I  
know and i would like to know the name of the  
child that he had out of wedlock. by another  
woman. I would also like to know about Anna  
L Peterson's folks and John Johnson's folks  
and Andrew Larson's folks like what they did  
for a living and where they lived and if there  
are anyother brothers or sisters and what their  
names are.  
I would like to know where they left to go to  
America and their route to America.
If anyone could help me ; I thank you in  
advandce.

Maxine, from the info you list here it seems that you might be helped a little by the information that is listed at Swedish Roots. There are a number of things to be found in American sources before trying to cross the ocean.
