I think we are related.
My grandparents were Carl August Carlson and Selma Nelson Carlson. Carl's parents were
August and Mathilda. The name in Sweden is Nord......and I have been to their home there.
They were from Smaland which is in southern Sweden.
Carl died at 73 in about 1952 in Eugene, Oregon. He came from Sweden as a small child. He
grew up in Bristol, SD and moved out west during the end of the depression. ,, kept the
farm but was sick of farming. I don't recall the names of his siblings but I think I
would recognize them..
I do recall that he and his brother had a homestead in North Dakota or Minn. and the
brother was John. One of my uncles wrote a 2 or 3 page article about Augusgt and
Matilda....and they did split up.
Contact me if you want information. I have pictures of the Swedish home place and of the
churches they must have gone to. August and Matilda were my great grandparents.
