Petterson, Oscar / Charlotta (Anna) 1873 Atvidaberg via Goteborg to Chicago

[Johnson Jean]

I'm searching for information about my great grandparents, Oscar (may be Frans Oscar) Peterson and his wife, Charlotta (may be Anna Charlotte) who immigrated from Sweden in 1873. They were from Atvidaberg.  My g grandmother's maiden name was possibly Nelle (Nelley, Nellie, or possibly Janelle).  They were 21 yrs old at time of immigration.  My grandmother, Emma, their third child, was born in Rockford, Ill.  Does anyone have any information? I would be so grateful for any information.

Hi Jean!
 
Frans Oscar Alexandersson Pettersson was born Sept. 29, 1852 in Åtvidabergs Lantbruk, Åtvid parish. His parents were stalldrängen (stable farmhand) Alexander Pettersson born Dec. 9, 1818 in Bjursnäs, Åtvid parish, died Sept. 26, 1856 in Åtvidabergs Kopparbruk, Åtvid parish and Christina Charlotta Svensdotter born Sept. 10, 1819 in Tåby parish, died after 1896.
 
Anna Charlotta Nelly was born Feb. 21, 1851 in Herrekullen, Åtvid parish. Her parents were Lifgrenadieren (Soldier) and Churchward Per Gustaf Nellij (sometimes Nelli or Nelly) born May 18, 1815 in Kopparverket, Åtvid parish, died May 20, 1880 in Lantbruket, Åtvid parish and Anna Helena Löfgren born Nov. 19, 1813 in Stoksundet, Åtvid parish, died May 6, 1860 in Herrekullen, Åtvid parish.
 
They emigrated together with one of Frans Oscar?s elder brothers, Sven August Alexandersson Pettersson born Dec. 18, 1846. They left Åtvidaberg May 10, 1873. Another brother, Carl Johan Alexandersson born July 8, 1849 had left to North America the previous year, on Aug. 19, 1872.

Hi again!
 
Here are some more data re. Frans Oscar Alexandersson Pettersson:
 
1 Frans Oscar Alexandersson Pettersson born Sept. 29, born Sept. 29, 1852 in Åtvidabergs Lantbruk, Åtvid parish
 
2 Alexander Pettersson born Dec. 9, 1818 in Bjursnäs, Åtvid parish, died Sept. 26, 1856 in Åtvidabergs Kopparbruk, Åtvid parish, married June 29, 1844 in Östantorp, Åtvid parish to
 
3 Christina Charlotta Svensdotter born Sept. 10, 1819 in Brestad, Tåby parish, died after 1896.
 
Alexander Pettersson was a farmhand in Krogstorp and later in Östantorp, Nya Kammarbo, Norra Botorp and Åtvidabergs Lantbruk, all in Åtvid parish. Later he is mentioned as stalldräng, i.e. a farmhand that takes care of the stables at Åtvidabergs Kopparverk where he dies 37 years old, victim of pneumonia. Alexander had an additional surname for some time, Slättbom. Christina Charlotta Svensdotter moved to ”fattighuset” (the poor house) in 1895 and lived there still 1896. After this I have no records.
