Mattson Charles born 1866 emigrated 1886 t US

[Karen Lillrose]

I am looking for charles Mattson that emigrated to the US in 1886.  He was born in 1866, he married after moving to the US to Emma.  I believe he had a younger brother that moved with him, they both show up in the US Census in 1890 and in the 1910 Census in Denver Colorado.  Can anyone help me find where he was from or more info on the emigration from Sweden.

Do you know the name of the younger brother? (I suppose you do since you found him in two censuses.)It is hard to search for people with such common names when we have few clues. ;-)
 
I see two men with the same last name emigrating from their parish on the same date. One is Carl, a name often Americanized to Charles. He was born in 1867 and not 1866, however, and they left in 1887, not 1886. This is a longshot since the cd I'm using is only 75% complete and nothing matches exactly. You will probably have to find more clues.
 
The vast majority of the 1890 U.S. Census burned in a fire. Do you perhaps mean the 1900 U.S. Census? If so, that census provides a month and year of birth.

I have no idea if these two are yours. I checked Emihamn, which was made from registrations with the Swedish port police before leaving Sweden. This appears to be the same people except now Carl is called Carolina,the son of a farmer is now called the daughter of a farmer, and the original two year difference in age has become a four year difference in age. It is obvious that there is an error somewhere and the parish records need to be checked.(I suppose it is also possible that these are two separate pairs of people and that the ones found on Emibas didn't use a Swedish port when they left. Swedes often used ports in Norway, Denmark, and Germany, for example.)
