Message Board Post:
I am looking to contact the descendants of Otto H. Carlson of West Lynn, MA. He was born
about 1884 in Sweden, immigrated about 1905, and naturalized about 1910. He married Ellen
H. Anderson (b. abt. 1888 in MA) about 1912 and had at least 3 sons - Wendell C. (abt.
1916), Roy L. (abt. 1923) and Alan E. Carlson (abt. 1928). Otto and Roy travelled to
Minneapolis or St. Paul, MN in the late 40's or early 1950's on business. Otto
took the opportunity to call my grandfather, Frank Oscar Anderson, who was a relation,
possibly a second cousin. My grandfather lived nearby in Chisago County, MN. He invited
Otto and Roy to spend the evening at his home. The offer was accepted and the visiting
father and son took a bus and eventually met up with my grandfather, had a home-cooked
meal and presumably spoke of all things Swedish. I am hoping to determine what their
kinship was. Any help or leads are greatly appreciated.
