Your great-grandparents, Malcolm (b. May 1861-Sweden) & Matilda (b. Sep 1859-Sweden)
CARLSON resided in Kane Borough, McKean County, Pennsylvania, according to the 1900 Census
taken on 6 Jun. They had five children listed in their household: Albert (b. Apr
1890-PA), Alice (b. Sep 1893-PA), Esther (b. Jan 1896-PA), Ernest (b. Jan 1898-PA), &
a baby daughter un-named (b. Mar 1900-PA). Matilda states that she has had a total of 6
children with 5 surviving.
In 1910, Malcolm & Tilda CARLSON are residents of Jamestown, this census states that
they were married in 1888, that Tilda has had a total of 7 children with 5 surviving,
their children are listed as Alice, Esther, Ernest, & Namie, a daughter (b.1903-PA).
The eldest Albert is not listed with the family, being age 20, he is probably one of the
two "boarders" residing in Jamestown, however the birth states are not correct
on either one. The one less child appears to be the infant daughter
In 1920, Malcolm & Matilda CARLSON still resided in Jamestown, their children, Ester
C., Ernest, Namie, & a daughter Violet (b.1916-NY). Their daughter Alice is the w/o
Ben A. JOHNSON (b.1891-Sweden) and have a daughter Margaret (b.1916-NY)
1930, Malcolm & Matilda CARLSON still reside in Jamestown, only one child is listed
with them, Violet is listed here as their granddaughter. Alice & her husband have an
additional child, a son Curtiss (b.1927-NY).
In 1930, Albert is apparently still un-married.
In 1930 Ernest is married to Viola (b.1903-NY) with 2 children, Marylin (b.1924-NY) &
Irving (b.1927-NY)
1930 in Falconer, Ellicott Twp, Chautauqua County, New York is a listing for Albert
(b.1883-Sweden) & Myrtie (b.1888-NY) WEDBERG and their daughter Doris (your mother
b.1919-NY). This fixes your grandmother Esther's death to approximately 1922.
Esther / Ester was accounted for in the 1920 census, but no Doris (b.1919-NY) was listed
in the same household, where was she, only Violet is listed, possibly your mother's
sister, a mystery still remains ?
The reference to Janice NAGAL of Jamestown as being Doris' second cousin.
(1) There is no NAGAL family listed in 1930, only NAGLE, but no Janice.
(2) There is no NAGAL or NAGLE family listed in 1920, again no Janice.
