Hej Sven-Erik,
Thanks very much for the information. It was much more than I had hoped to find! And, it answers many questions about this person.
 
I wonder if there are any living descendants of this family in Bollnäs today?  
 
mvh

You'll find one personen named Ahnström
in the Swedish phone book in the district of Gävle (where Bollnäs is situated - I belive....)
