I have a great-grandfather David Carlson who was born in Moline, IL in 1889, brother
Reuben, born in Moline also I think. Their father was Carl A. Carlson whose date of birth
I don't know, but 1859 would be about right, as is the approximate date of immigration
from Sweden. I was hoping to get more information when I visit my grandparents at
Christmas time (If they have or remember it). Carl A. Carlson's father was Carl J.
Carlson, b. 1825 in Sweden, d. 1908 in IL; mother is Anna C., b. 1819 in Sweden, d. 1901
in IL. A picture of Carl J. and Anna C. Carlson that I have says they are buried in
Riverside Cemetery in Moline, IL. I would love to know if this is the same Carl A. Carlson
and maybe we could fill in the blanks together if he is.
