Relatives in America...

[Malin Karlsson]

Hej!
Jag är intresserad ifall någon vet något om Gustaf Henning (Andersson, tror jag att han hette i efternamnet), han var född i Horla socken i älvsborgs län den 26/11 1874 och han utvandrade i slutet av 1800-talet till USA.  
 
Även hans broder Carl Gideon född 16/9 1881 i Horla socken också, utvandrade till USA..båda skall nog ha varit bosatta i chicago.  
 
Sedan har de två systrar som också utvandrade till amerika...Hilma Serafia född 7/8 1870 utvandrade till Chicago och hennes ättlingar som finns i livet har jag kontakt med, men däremot hennes syster Selma Rebecka född 9/12 1876 också från Horla socken vet jag inget om.
 
Är det någon som vet vart jag kan vända mig?? Har inte hittat något på nätet...

I can't found Carl Gideon in CD-emigranten.
 
Then go to USA/Chicago ( this area) or Ellis Island and ask your questions.

Attached is Carl Gideons WW1 draft card showing him in Chicago. He is married
 
 

 
And here is Gustaf Henning, if it is possible that he was born 21/11 1874
He has given Carl Anderson as his nearest relative.
Guess that is Carl above

Tack elisabet och Mats!
 
Elisabet:
Förlåt men vad menar du med att titta på USA/Chicago eller Ellis Island?  
 
Mats:
Det kan mycket väl vara den Gustaf Henning jag söker..men datumen är jag väldigt säker på att den stämmer. Fast det är ju lätt att skriva fel på några siffror...
Finns det några uppgifter om Carls fru och eventuella barn?
 
ps. det gäller även de andra syskonens respektive och barn också..för jag vet inget om Carl Gideon, Gustaf Henning eller Selma Rebecka (hilma vet jag ganska mycket om eftersom jag har kontakt med hennes barnbarn)

Hej Malin!
 
Ellis island hittar du på http://www.ellisisland.org/
För att söka på USA/Chicago så måste du gå in på cencus. Ett bra sökforum är http://www.ancestry.com/

Hej!  
 
Jag vet inte om detta finns rätt person men.
 
In the 1920 census in Evanston- a town on the north side of Chicago- there is:
 
1505 Emerson Avenue, Dwelling 34, Family 34, Ward 5, Cook County, Illinois
 
Matheson, August head of household, age 59, born in Sweden, immigrated in 1885, Naturalized in 1896, occupation blacksmith
Matheson, Selma, wife, age 49, born in Sweden, immigrated in 1901, naturalized in 1911
Anderson, Gustaf, brother-in-law, age 46, born in Sweden, immigrated in 1891, naturalized in 1896, occupation laborer
 
Efternamnet could be Matheson, Mattison or Matteson. The image is very faded.
 
Also in the household:  
Strandall, Charles, roomer, age 53, born in Sweden, immigrated in 1904, naturalization pending, occupation laborer
 
I haven't found this family in the 1930 census.

Malin...Denna diskusion ska utföras på engelska som det står i överskriften annars finns det andra flikar under rötter  ex USA-Illinois-Chicago där du kan ställa dina frågor på svenska och få samma svar...Ellis Island finns också som egen flik...
det var det jag menade...elisabet

If you go to http://www.ellisisland.org/  and search for Gustaf Henning Andersson arriving 1910, you will find that he came to New York in October and that he intends to visit his brother in Chicago. He gives his mother Klara Andersson, Horla, Ekelund , Lagmansholm as closest relative. Is this the man you are looking for?
 
If it is correct, then you know that Carl emigrated earlier then Gustaf, which makes Laura's findings on Carl relevant.
 
But I wonder if Gustaf found by Laura is the right one, as he is said to be naturalized (become citizen of USA) already 1896

[Malin Karlsson]

Ok, i will try to write in English..
 
Mats..you has the right Gustaf Henning Andersson! Because his mother was Clara Andersson in Horla, Ekelund.

[Malin Karlsson]

Mats..i think you has the right Gustaf Henning. Because his mother was Clara Andersdotter (later Anderson) from Horla
