Nils Oskar Adolph Karlsson was a seaman, born in Gothberg Sweden on Nov 5, 1898. According
to his citizenship papers he immigrated to the US in 1920, on the ship SS Miami, departing
from Havanna Cuba, arriving in Key West Florida. He also had a tattoo on his right arm of
a lady. I have his death certificate which states that he died in wilmington, california
in 1959. He was married to my great grandmother Lou Marie Arce between 1942 & 1944.
This was my great grandmother's second marriage, as Nils and Lou never had any
children of their own. I was also told that he left Sweden at the age of 16/17 and never
returned home. Recently, I was also told that he had one sister whom died back in Sweden,
dates unknown. Also According to his death certificate his father was unknown and his
mother's name or maiden name was Matilda, they were both born in Sweden. I have a
couple of pictures of Nils if you think this may be a relative of yours! I also have a
group photo of what looks like !
an all boys school of some kind. The photo has the name lenberg written on the bottom.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
