Hi Doug,
I believe that your Knut Carlson is the same as my grandmother Augusta's father, since
Granny had a sister named Hildur and her mother was Ella Jane Bosely.
We think Knut was born 9 Jan 1874 in Norkopping, Sweden. He immigrated to the US in 1882.
His name is mispelled in the 1910 US Census, but since we've definitely found an entry
for the family there under Theodore Carlston (his middle name was Theodore (Theodor)). He
died 5 June 1919 after he was struck by a cab weeks earlier. My sister has done a fair
amount of research into this branch. You can probably find her tree (Brooks family) if you
search for Augusta Lucinda Carlson (your Great-grandmother Hildur's sister)
