Looking for SIGNE, FLORENS, EDIT, ESTER and IVAR, children of KRISTINA CARLSSON. Kristina
emigrated from Östmarken, Boda, Värmland, SWEDEN, in 1891. In 1940 she lived in Chicago,
Illinois, and had 5 children. I´m not shure the names of the children are totaly correct.
Kristina was born 1872, july 11, in Spångdalen, Brunskog, Värmland, Sweden. Her parents
was Karl Jönsson and Kristina Nilsdotter. I have much more information to give about her
ancestors and now living relatives, of wich I´m one. But I don´t know anything about her
children and granchildren in USA. I believe Kristina was married 2 times, but I don´t know
the names of her husbands.
Kristina also had a brother Johan, and Johans son CARL also emigrated, he had two sons in
USA, one of them were killed in a caraccident I think. Johans daughter ANNIE KRISTINA,
called ANNIE and also HILDA, emigrated too. She was married to Verner Johansson and they
got a daughter JEANETTE, who stayed in the USA when her parents returned to Sweden, to
Trosa in Södermanland I think.
Kristina also had a brother CARL A. Carlsson in USA. He owned the company C.A. Carlson
cheeseproducts in Illinois (with dairys also in Wisconsin). CARL A. was married to Emma
but they never had any children. He died in 1957.
Please help me if you know anything about any of these people ! I would so much like to
get in touch with relatives in the USA.
Notise that Carlsson can be spelled in different ways:Carlson, Carlsson, Karlson,
Karlsson.
Sincerely Harriet Grandin
