Larsson från Degerfors?

[Karin Jegelius]

Hej emigrantforskare!
Har fått mail ifrån USA som lyder så här:
 
I am looking for Peter Larsson and Anna Louise Larsson, born in Sweden, unknown dates and unknown regions.  Anna Louise and Peter were married, but I don't know if they were married in Sweden or in USA.
Anna Louise Larsson - Larsson was her maiden name as well as her married name.
 
Peter and Anna Louise had five children.
 
Ella
Emma
Ruth
Mabel
Hulda Eugenia
David (Died in World War 1)
 
Hulda Eugenia Larsson was born in Antrim, Pennsylvania, USA, so I know that Peter and Anna Louise immigrated to USA.  I don't know if the brother and sisters were born in US or Sweden and I don't know if they were older or younger than Hulda.
 
Based on Hulda's birth I think Anna Louise Larsson was born between 1840 and 1873 and Peter was possibly born between 1820 and 1873.
 
Hulda was my grandmother.  She married Anders Paul Lindberg who was born in Degesfors in 1883, but came to US in 1902.  They married in US and lived here.  Does Sweden have arranged marriages?  If so, maybe Anna Louise or Peter is from near Degesfors.  
 
Please email me if you have any information regarding these families.
 
Thank you for your time in reading this letter.
 
Sincerely

Finns det nån som kan hjälpa henne?

Karin, det bästa din kontakt kan göra är att ta fram mer information, t.ex. genom att studera de råd som finns på Swedish Roots, särskilt när utvandrarna har så vanliga namn. Hemläxan måste först göras i de amerikanska källorna.

Elisabeth, det här är inte min kontakt. Jag känner inte personen ifråga och vet inte varför hon skickade mail till mig. Kanske har hon sökt på Larsson och fått upp min hemsida på internet.
Jag har skickat henne en länk till detta forum och talat om att jag tyvärr inte kan hjälpa henne på annat sätt.
Mvh
Karin
