Visjullaird? Is this Vissefjarda?

[Natalie Hanson]

A family record states my grandfather, Edward Claus Bengtson came from Visjullaird. (I am not sure of that spelling.)  I am unable to locate any place by that name.  Could this be Vissefjarda?  Or is it a farm name?  I would appreciate any help.

Hello Natalie!
 
Do you have his birt or/and when he left Sweden?

Hello Berith!  
My grandfather, Edward Bengtson, was born July 7, 1874.  His father's name was Bengt Bengtson.  He had a sister, Julia, that stayed in Sweden.  I do not know his mother's name.  My grandfather arrived at the Port of New York in June of 1890.  He came to Two Harbors, Minnesota to live with his uncle, whose last name was Anderson.  He later took the name Edward Anderson.

Hello again Natalie!
 
I ask 'cause maybe they're in the Swedish census 1890.
I found a Swedich family but I dont know if it is the right one.
Maybe there is someone else who can tell you more about this family.

Looks pretty convincing to me ... at least all of the pieces match.  
 
Klas Edvard Bengtsson is listed on the DISBYT website (www.dis.se) by Roland Toll, E-mail:  barotol@swipnet.se
 
 
So I suggest you ask him directly.
 
Cheers
