Erik August Johannesson, Varmland

[Jean Williams]

My grandfather Erik August Johannesson was born Mar. 9, 1862 in Vase parish we believe. His father was Johannes Andersson born Mar. 30, 1827 in Vase I think, don't know who first wife (greatgrandmother) but second wife was Maja Stina Jonsdotter. I was told my grandfather had 4 brothers;Anders Gustaf, Olof Ffredrik, Wilhelm and Karl. Erick came to US in 1881 and settled in Osage City, KA, married Louisa Nystrom in 1893 and had 5 sons. In 1900 Louisa leeft Erik and the boys, don't know anything about her except she came to US in 1890 from Sweden according to 1900 census.Grandfther died in 1941 in Oasge City, KA.Learned also that Karl came to US in 1886 and Olof and his wife Charlotte came to US in 1887. This is all I know about my grandfather and his family. Thank you for any help or ideas as where to go from here. Jean Williams
