Can someone help me to find my relatives!
My Grandfather had three brothers they all immigrate to America. My Grandfather stayed in
Sweden Luleå his name was Oscar Fritjof Carlsson.
The first of this three brothers who immigrate was Carl Waldemar Carlson, he was born in
12 Apr 1888, Luleå Sweden. I have found him in the passenger list of Ellis Island New York
he arrived the 5 May 1907 he was 19 years old. I also find him in W.W.I Civilian Draft
Registrations at this time he lived in Bonner, Idaho. He was married to Annie and I know
they had only one daughter, her name is Evangeline. Maybe, she is still alive, or she has
children. They lived in Spokane, Washington.
The second brother was Eric Gothard Carlson he was born 21 Dec 1892 in Luleå Sweden. He
was 17 years old when he left Sweden 23 Nov 1909. I know that he was married too, and have
two boys, but I don’t have the names of them. I also know that they lived in Leviston.
Eric Carlson died 20 February 1990 he was 97 years old when he died in Santa Clara,
California. It isn’t long ago maybe someone can remember him.
The third brother was Carl Ruben Carlson he was born 8 October 1885 in Luleå Sweden. He
was 24 years old when he went away in 8 May 1910. He was married to Lovisa Matilda maiden
name Jansson. At this time they had a daughter, her name was Wera Mirjam Ruby Carlson she
was also born in Luleå Sweden 18 August 1908. She and her mother immigrate later the same
year. Their first home in United States was in Spooner, Minn. Later they moved to Aberdeen
Wash. 1921 they moved to Coeur d’Alene Idaho. Carlson’s got two boys Rune Carlson and
Roger Carlson. Ruben died in April 1968, and Matilda died in August 1973.
I’m so thankful when someone can help me find still living relatives
