Hello I have been researching my family for about 20 years now. I have a Grant Carlson
that lived in Arizona. He had a brother by the name of Ira. Their parents were David and
Emma Carlson. David Carlson's mother's name was Anna Regina Carlson Maiden name
was Andersson. Anna and her husband Anderw Peter Carlson married in 1851 in Sweden and
then came to USA in either 1851 or 1852. they had 5 children their first born was my
great grandfather John Andrew Carlson, the second child was David W. Carlson born in 1854.
Third child was Henry Alexander Carlson born in 1856. The next child it is hard to
determine. there were 3 girls but through the census reports two of the girls names
remain constant but one other was either named Caroline, Emma or Alma. I have not
determined what happened to this daughter. The other two daughters were Sophia and Amy.
Andrew and Anna Carlson and 1st born child only lived in Illinois for a year or two then
they moved to Burlington, Iowa by late summer of 1854. Then about 1880 the whole Carlson
family moved to Fillmore Copunty, Nebraskaception of John the oldest son. John married in
1877 to August Bernadina Burgeson daughter of Johan and Britta Burgeson they had 2
children by 1880. John and his family later joined the family in Nebraska about 1882 or
1883 locating near Shickely Nebraska and later settled and lived the rest of his life in
Ong, Nebraska. I know this cause my Grandfather was born in 1881 in or near Burlington,
Iowa and then the next sibling of my grandfathers was born in Nebraska. Anyway David
Carlson married in 1900 and on July 18, 1904 Grant Carlson was born I think near
Shickley, Nebraska. David and his wife and two sons - Ira and Grant and Davids mother
Anna moved to Arizona I think Buckeye in either 1905 or 1906 after Anna's husband
Andrew Peter Carlson died.
Grant Carlson married twice later in his life and had no children.
If this sounds like your family please let me know if it is not I appologize for sending
such a long e-mail
Sincerely
Jeannene Olson
P.S. My Maiden name was Carlson
