Looking for relatives of my grandfather Victor Carlson who came to the US in 1907(?), then
back to Sweden to get his sweetheart Elin Peterson. Both came to the US in 1911, settled
in Montclair, New Jersey. They had four daughters: Florence, Judith Dorothy (my mother),
Madeline, and Patsy.
Grandfather came from Poryd in Kalmar. Grandmother Elin was from Bodhyltan, near Torsas,
also in Kalmar. Grandfather's parents were Karl and Sofia Johanson. I believe at
least some of his brothers and sisters may have come to the US: Karl, Pete, John - males.
Volborg, Edith, Anna, Maria -females. They may have settled in the New York area. I am
looking for any relatives of grandfather's siblings.
