I am looking for information regarding the family of Ida Lena Larson.  She was the grandmother of my husband.  She was born in Elmhult, Sweden 13 March, 1875.  At the age of 7 yrs. she was sent to USA to the Nelson family and later married William Adolphus Fair in Hutchison, Kansas, USA on 24 Dec. 1891.  I would like to find more information about the family left in Elmhult.  From one source I understand that Ida was born an illegitimate child of a woman with the name of Kristina Bengtsdotter.  She later married a man named Peter Johan Jonasson.  I do not know the year of this marriage.  
 
I would appreciate any information on the family or suggestions of where I could look for more information.
