My ancestors emigrated to the United States in 1869 from Sweden. I am trying to determine ages, names, and any other information on the family prior to their leaving Sweden. The information I have came to me from family members who have died. Can anyone assist? Feel free to direct me to appropriate sites, etc. I am looking for the following family:
Husband: Gustaf Anderson Born: December 14, 1814 in Sweden. His father is listed as: Anders Svenson, born May 12, 1782 in Langebrunna, Sweden and died October 1833.
Wife: Johanna Bjork Born: 1816. They were married on April 12, 1841, information apparently from the Ekeby Parish register in Sweden. She was a farmer's daughter from N. Lagnebrunna.
Information was also provided to me from the Vadstena Archives: Gen # 94 of Brukaren Gustaf Andersson and Johanna Andersdotter Bjork.
Children born to these two individuals (Gustaf and Johanna Anderson) are who I am looking for! My dates and information for the children are not known to be completely accurate:
Gustaf Anderson Born: about 1847
Adolph Johan Anderson Born: April 15, 1849, Krokulla Ekeby, Osterjutland, Sweden
Hedvig Anderson Born: January 1854, Sweden
Axel Anderson Born: January 2, 1854, Sweden
Charles Anderson Born: unknown
I am not sure if the names are Americanized or not. Charles may have been a Carl August Gustafsson.
I would be very grateful if someone could direct me how to confirm the names and dates of children born to this couple. Thank you very much.
