Johannesson, Viktor (Johnson, Victor) born 1871-11-18

[Janet Schmidt]

I am looking for information on Victor Johnson (born November 1871) who came to the U.S. about 1892 and settled in St. Paul, Minnesota, where he married Hulda Aldrin in 1898.  He died in 1905, leaving Hulda with three small children to care for.  Gryteryd is the birthplace (parish) listed on an emigrant CD look-up.  He left Sweden through Göteborg.  Anyone related to Victor or if you know anything about his family, I would enjoy hearing from you.

Viktor left Göteborg on 1892 April 26, age 20, and his home was in Gryteryd. His destination is given as Ironwood, Michigan, and at least 5 other emigrants from his home area left at the same time, all going to Ironwood.
 
If this looks right to you, you can now search the Swedish church records for Gryteryd and find out about his parents and siblings. You can find those records through your nearest Mormon Family History Center.
