Mary Inga Olofsdotter

[Shelly Geurts]

I am seeking any assistance in finding information on my great-grandmother.  Information from family members is conflicting.  Her birth name is supposed to be Mary Inga Olofsdotter, born March 02, 1860 in Ostmark (Glebacken), Varmland lan, daughter of Olof Olsson and Karin Jonsdotter.
 
She imigrated to America in 1868 or 1880 (conflicting information).  She married Nels Nilsson Bonstrom on Nov 4, 1880, in Wright county, Minnesota.  Her marriage license lists her name as Mary J. Erickson
 
She died on September 18, 1937, but her death certificate says her maiden name was Mary Johnson, and lists her father as Jens Johnson.  
 
Her obituary states her name as Mary I Johnson.
 
I would appreciate any help in finding her true name and parents names.  Perhaps her father died and she took on her step-father's name?  Or maybe she was illegitimate?
 
Thank you for your assistance
Shelly (Bonstrom) Geurts

Thank you so much!  You have helped a great deal.

The reason why Elisabet didnt find them later on is written at the right side. They moved to Amerika in 1868 the 15th of May.

Thank You.  Now I just need to research in U.S. and find out about the name changes!
