Du kan göra på många sätt, men det är inte lätt.  
Gå in på whitepages.com och skriv in namnet på någon av dem. Du får rätt många träffar. Dessa kan du beta av. Ungefär samma sak finns på 411.com.Glöm inte www.
 
Du kan gå via ancestry och Living people finder och göra på samma sätt.  
 
Ibland får man en lyckträff.

Hi Lennart,
 
The Nelson Funeral Home is still in existence and I suggest that you write to them. They should have the address and contact information for these people and maybe they (or descendants) will still be alive and living in the same location. (The children, if they died, may have used the same funeral home, so information on their deaths will lead to more relatives, most likely.) Ask them to contact the relatives for you and hopefully those relatives will be happy to hear from you.

Nelson Funeral Home will have information about the cemetery where this person was buried. Relatives probably have to maintain the graves (financially, at least) so the cemetery probably knows the contact information of the children.
 
Also consider posting on the Cook County Rootsweb list. (Chicago is in Cook County.) That list is very active and very helpful. Tell them you are a Swede living in Sweden and that may get you even more help. (I have seen several Swedes posting there and they were treated very well.) The list I am talking about is the first one on this page.

Hej Lennart,
 
I noticed that your relative was buried at Rosenhill. I don't know of any Rosenhill Cemetery. I wonder if the cemetery might have been Rosehill Cemetery.

Others in the family may have been buried there too, so contacting them might provide you with death dates and other information for this family.
