Nils Peter Carlson was my grandfathers uncle. DOB 19 April 1839. He emigrated from Sweden
1864 so he was already established in America when they traveled 1902. I have tried to
find out the relationship between the youngsters but can't find what. (Nils Peter died
in Port Wing, Bayfield 1932 so he became 98 years old.)
They were notified as labour in the ships manifest.
Axel Fredrik Emanuel was a brother to my grandfather and Nils Peter his uncle.
Nils Peter did also have a brother that left to America in 1862, August B Carlson. He was
a missionary in the Augustana Synod and died in Madras India. There is a book written
about him by Hjalmar Swanson. Probably was Nils Peter also religious and Judith father was
a trusted juror as well as Axel Fredrik Emanuels father so I guess they know each other
and could believe in each other.
I did also find that Judith father Nils Johan Nilsson had an earlier marriage with Maria
Sofia Karlsdotter DOB 30 Apr 1850. They had two sons. One died early and the other Sven
Johan DOB 22 Feb 1876 left to America 3 Feb 1894 so Judith did have a halfbrother there
already.
