i am searching for information regarding my grandfather Carl Alfred Carlson who emigrated
from a village near Goteburg, Sweden during the 1870s. He was born on May 15, 1860
(although each document I have found gives a different birth year, 1864, 1865). He had a
younger brother Conrad (born 1869) and two sisters Amanda (born 1876) and Helen (born
1880)who all came to the US. Carl Alfred was a cabinet maker and worked as a salesman in
Omaha, Nebraska where he settled. Carl's father's last name was also Carlson and
his mother's first name was Mathilda. Carl Alfred married Hannah Marie Carlson who was
born on October 11, 1875 in Sweden. She came to the US in 1892. On her death certificate
her father is Carl Johanson and her mother "unknown." I am hoping that someone
has information which can add to my knowledge of my grandparents who died before I was
born. Dianne Carlson Cook
