Frans Holmgren and family - leaving for America after 1869

[Sofia Ahlberg]

Does anyone know what happened to Frans Holmgren and his family?  
 
Frans Jonsson Holmgren, b April 13, 1838 in Älmeboda parish (Kronoberg's county)
married on November 4, 1862 in Berga parish (Kronoberg's county) to
Maria Danielsdotter, b July 10, 1840 in Berga parish (Kronoberg's county)
 
Their children:
Carl Frithiof, b July 20, 1863 in Berga parish (Kronoberg's county)
Ida Gustava, b March 18, 1865 in Berga parish (Kronoberg's county)
Axel Edward, b March 7, 1867 in Ljungby parish (Kronoberg's county)
Daniel Wilhelm, b May 8, 1869 in Annerstad parish (Kronoberg's county)
 
The family never got a moving certificate from the clergy. There is just a note saying living in America. I guess they emigrated short after the birth of their youngest child Daniel in 1869.
 
I would like to know what happened to these people. I have tried to find them on Family Search but without success.
Did they have anymore children after arriving in America? Frans was a taylor in Sweden.

Laura,
 
Thank you so much for helping me find those people above. I wonder who Axel's wife was. Seams like she came from Danmark. Very exciting to know that I have some Danish relatives as well.
