Nordlander, Einar/Signe/Helga/John. Duluth, MN USA

[Don Norlander]

We are coming to Sweden in a week!! and are desperate to find the farm/village/province where my father's family came from...
 
My greatgrandfather Einar Nordlander immigrated to Duluth, Minnesota, USA around 1910 from Sweden along with is two sisters Signe and Helga and his brother John.     After they arrived in the USA, they changed their surname to Norlander.
Einar Norlander, (with new surname), married Gerda Erickson/Ericson?) in Duluth. Gerda had three brothers, Per Oscar, Charles and Eric and a sister Anna.  Gerda Norlander died in Duluth approximately 1966.    
 
Does anyone know of the village/town/province where they came from??  thanks!

Don, According to the Minnesota Death Index Gerda Marie Norlander, born 1887 Oct. 13, died in St Louis County in 1964 Sep.1, and I assume she is your great-grandmother.  
 
But right now I can not find her in the Swedish emigration database, nor can I find your great-grandfather. Do you have a birth date for him? When did he marry? What is the name of your grandfather or their other children?
