I have most of the trees under Nils John Carlson and
Andrew Peter Carlson mapped out, but know next to
nothing about Gus, Mary, the older Carlh Henry, or Emma
(the children of Carl John Benson and Christina Jacobson).
It appears that both Nils John and Andrew Peter settled in
Colorado in the Berthoud area and many of their descendants
are in Colorado to this day. It seems likely that the other
siblings probably remained behind in Sweden but have not been able to confirm this. Also
specifically seeking more
information about the descendants of Walter Carlson. Please
contact me directly to compare notes.
