Do you have any idea what state she may have travelled to? My grandfather Janne Carlsson
arrived in New York in 1889 and then travelled on the the middle of the country to settle
in Iowa. The Svensson Center at Augustana University in Rock Island, Illinois has quite a
few resources for Swedish genealogy and may be able to help. She may well have been
married by the 1890 Census and may be difficult to track. I found the records in the US
much more difficult to find information that Swedish records. Good luck and let me know
if I can be of any assistance. I would like to be able to pay back for all the kind
assistance given to me in search in Swedish records.
