I'm trying to find anything that may help find the parents
of my great grandfather.
His name is August Carlson. What I do know is he was born
about 1849 in Sweden. He married a Celestia Mae Martin on Jan 31, 1879 in Herrick, Deuel
Cty, SD. They had 4 children
George Carlson, Marie Carlson, Charles Lynngrave Carlson (my grandfather) and a unknown
child. Both Marie and the unknown child had died before Charles Carlson was born.
Addtional information that I know of is August had 2 brothers. One named A.P. Carlson who
was a veteran of the Spanish-American War. And Gustaf Carlson who necer migrated to the
States. He and his family stayed in Sweden. August Carlson also had a sister named Anna
Stina Carlson. She married a Andrew Johnson. They had a daughter named Emma, who married a
Lars Emanuel Holmberg.
Any info on parent, or other family members is welcomed..
