Hello Rötter!
My name is Agneta Haglund I am 37 years old girl from Gothenburg (Göteborg) in Sweden. I am looking for my swedish roots in USA. My fathers grandmother brother (Peter Andreasson) emigrate to USA from Sweden in 1892. Peter Andreasson was born the 24 th of July 1857 in Stora Lundby församling in Älvsborgs län. The 21 st of October 1881 moved Peter Andreasson for the first time to Gothenburg (Göteborg) in Sweden. In 1884 moved Peter Andreasson for the second time to Stockholm in Sweden.
The 24 th of Januay 1891 married Peter Andreasson (Andreason) with the woman name Ida Kristina (Christina) Andersson (she was born Andersson). Ida Kristina (maybe Christina with Ch) was born in Hammar församling the 6 th of May 1856 in Örebro in Sweden. The 30 th of Janary 1891 got Peter and Ida Kristina Andreasson (Andreason) a son. The son got the name Edwin (Edvin), Vallerius (Wallerius) Andreasson. The 28 th of March 1892 moved Peter Andreasson form Stockholm for good. The 8 th of April 1892 take Peter Andreasson a big ship from Gotehenburg (Göteborg) and he came to New York (Ellis Island) the 9th of May 1892.
Peter Andreasson (Andreason) had said to American and Swedish authorities that he shall go to Delavan in USA.
There stop all my clues about Peter Andreasson (Andreason). The 14 th of April 1893 moved Ida Kristina (Christina) and Edwin for good from Stockholm. The 19 th of May 1893 take Ida Kristina and Edwin Andreasson (Andreason) a big ship from Gothenburg (Göteborg) and they came to New York (Ellis Island) the 8th of June 1893.
I have only information what Ida Kristina Andreasson (Andreason) has she sad to Swedish and American authorities that she and her son shall go to New York. There stop all my clues about Edwin and Ida Kristina (Christina) Andreasson (Andreason).
All my fathers old relatives are dead. I only know from my father (Roland Haglund) that my fathers grandmothers brother Peter Andreasson (Andreason) had a lot of cows in USA. I think he was some farmer or something in USA. I have also heard from my father that Peter Andreasson (Andreason)died 1906 in USA. Is it true that he died in 1906? Is it some death certificate after Peter Andreasson (Anderson) in USA?
Have they did some estate inventory after Peter Andreasson (Andreason) died 1906 in USA?
What happen after with Peter Andreasson (Andreason) living wife Ida Kristina Andreasson (Andreason) and there son Edwin Andreasson (Andreason). Moved Ida Kristina (Christina) back to Sweden after Peter Andreasson (Andreasson)
have died in 1906. Or get Ida Kristina (Christina) and Edwin Andreasson (Andreason) a new fresh start and life in USA? Get Ida Kristina some more children with a new husband in USA? Died Ida Kristina (Christina) Andreasson (Andreason) married a second time with a another man in USA (maybe another swedish man)? When died Ida Kristina (Christina) Andreasson (Andreason) in USA? Did Edwin Andreasson (Andreason) married and get some children in USA?
When died Edwin Andreasson (Andreason) in USA?
Have I and my family in Sweden some living relatives in USA today which we can contact.
(I hope i have some luck with me now ) :-)
Many greetings from
Agneta Haglund
