Emigrant Lookup - Werner Carlson

[Kathleen Rich]

I'm hoping someone can help me find out where in Sweden Werner Carlson came from.  Werner was living with my great-grandparents John and Ida Sandberg in the 1910 US Federal Census in Chicago, Illinois.  According to the census, he would have been born about 1890, the year of immigration was 1909, and he was listed as a boarder/lodger.  I think he may be a nephew of my great-grandmother Ida's, but cannot be positive.  She did have a nephew named Josef Werner Carlsson who was born 11 Mar 1890 in Finnerodja.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!
