I am looking for Nils P. Carlson, North Henderson, Mercer County, Ill, because my great
aunt, Judith Elisabeth Nilsson [Nelson] traveled with him to America in Sep 1902. Also in
the group were: Axel Edvard Dahlstedt (DOB 26 Feb 1885, from Långemåla Parish) a
blacksmith; Oscar Vilhelm Karlsson (DOB 15 Jun 1887, from Mörlunda Parish); and Axel
Fredrik Emanuel Karlsson (DOB 13 May 1885, from Långemåla Parish). She returned to Sweden
in 1906, but was the first of the 9 siblings to emigrate. I would like to learn the
connection between Nils P. Carlson, and my great aunt's family. My great grandmother,
Hulda was recently widowed and I can't imagine her allowing her 16 year old daughter
go off to America without knowing the person she would be traveling with.
