They are

Do you have the names of the town/county/state to which they emigrated in America?
 
If so, I can check at Swenson for you.
 
Use my email for faster responses.

Ingemar,
 
What is the full birth date of Fredrik? If he died 1970, and within the US he should be indexed in the SSDI. (Social Security Death Index)
 
What is the source for their respective death years? What years did they emigrate?

Hi,
 
I am looking for Olaf Herman Holmstrom. I suspect he might come from Vasternorrland, Skorped as did his wife, Ida Mathilda Edin, but she came to the US in 1889 and he came over in 1885 (he was born 1863-4). They were married in the US in Minnesota. He led a colorful life, first as a sailor from Sweden, who made port in Duluth Minnesota after having spent 2 years stranded in Tierra del Fuego. This was the beginning of a series of very interesting life. We would be interested in tracing its beginnings back to Sweden. Thanks to anyone who can help. Robert

Hi Robert,
 
Could this be your Holmström? Information comes from the Emibas cd, made from registrations in the Swedish parish to go to a foreign country. This record doesn't say when he left Sweden.

This is a maybe for your Ida Mathilda, but she came from a different location in Västernorrland. You didn't provide her birth year, but the father had the right surname.

Hi Judy and Berit,
 
You were exactly right. That is my Olaf. I was able to confirm his birthday from a census. You are very quick and efficient. I can't thank you enough.  
 
Hudiksvall appears to be a great place to visit. It's hard to believe one would leave when you see what it has to offer.  
 
Thanks so much again.  
 
Robert
