Westrom Surname

[bob]

John August Westrom, whose Swedish name I believe is Johan August Johansson is the husband of my great-grandaunt, Josephine Katherine Kindstrom whose Swedish name I believe is Josefina Katrina Kindstrom.  He was born on 17 Mar 1849 in Sweden and died 2 Nov 1911 in Iowa.  His wife was born 8 May 1849 in Boras, Sweden and died 5 Aug 1935 in Iowa.  She emigrated to America on 21 Apr 1882 as a 32-year-old unmarried female from Almas, the parish of Torpa County through the port of Goteborg.  They were married in Iowa on 2 Sep 1882.  This is all that I know about John and his family.  I would appreciate any assistance that I can receive from anyone about them and am willing to assist others with information that I possess.  Thank you.
