My great-grandparents were Carl Johan JOSEPSSON (aka UHLAN which was Carl's military
surname) and Johanna Carolina OLOFSDOTTER. Both were born in 1823.
Carl and Johanna married in 1846 in Nykil, Ostergotland, Sweden. There were the parents of
8 children: Augusta Mathilda (b. 1846), Carl Fredrik (b. 1848; d. 1849), Carl Eduard (b.
1850, b. 1857), Oskar Fredrik (b. 1853, d. 1857), Holsten Reinhold (b. 1855), Clara
Josefina (b. 1858), Christina Frederika (b. 1860) and August Wilhelm (b. 1864; d. 1941).
Some of the children died as young children and toddlers. Those children living to
adulthood used both the surname CARLSSON and the surname UHLAN.
August Wilhelm CARLSON was my great-grandfather. He emigrated from Sweden in 1888 and
settled in Minnesota. He married twice and had two sons from his first marriage -- Herman
William CARLSON and Raymond Albin CARLSON (my grandfather).
If you are interested in this family too, please contact me. Thank you very much!
