Anders (or Andrew) Henrik Olasson and Elin Walborg

[Terry Tarnard Olson]

I was wondering if someone could help me find my Grandparents birth place and there parents names? My Grandfathers name was Andrew Henrick Olson and according to information I have he was born in Sweden December 15,1855 and he died June 06,1906 in Chisago County, Minnesota USA. He married Elin here in the United States about 1888. She was born November 25,1864 with her maiden name as Walborg and died on September 12,1944 in Ramsey County, Minnesota. I was also wondering if they had any brothers or sisters and if you could tell me when they immigrated to the USA and from where? I was also wondering how I would have gotten the name of Tarnard and they call me Terry here. It would be greatly appreciated!

Fish Lake Lutheran church records at Harris, MN show that Anders Henrik Olson was born in Kristianopel parish (K)and that Elin was born in Wislanda Kronoberg county.  We have no maiden name for Elin other than that given by Terry.

Anders Henrik emigrated in 1880. He left the parish Augerum, Blekinge in May. He travelled with his brother Pehr Olof/Johan (he seems to use one of the names Olof and Jonas from time to time).Pehr Olof/Johan was still living in his birth parish Kristianopel, in aplace called Bredavik.
 
Their direction was North Branch when they left Gothenburg May 7.  
 
The CD Emigranten have information but it seems like both brothers has been given an age which is three years wrong.
 
Pehr Olof is born May 31 1852.
 
The parents Ola Carlsson, born Nov 11 1819 and his wife Cecilia Jönsdotter, born Oct 31, 1825 got at least 5 children. Beside the two mentioned above  a daughter Ingrid Helena, born Oct 3, 1857, a son Holger Johan , born Nov 2, 1860 and another daughter Anna Christina May 8, 1863.

Thank you all very much! There is a couple of questions I still have to ask you all and those are, do you know when Ola Carlsson and Cecilia Jönsdotter died and where? And could somebody tell me where Sven Wallberg was born? Thanks again!
