Hi -
I found this possibility for Olof on the Emibas CD:
Post 278961
Carlsson, Olof
Dräng (man)
b. 12/20/1847 in Agunnaryd, Kronobergs län (Småland)
Emigrated 1882
from Leaboda. Kvarst. Obef., Agunnaryd, Kronobergs län (Småland)to Amerika
Source: Emibas migration file ID: Agunnaryd G 1882 013
The date given for emigration is probably not correct, since the "Kvarst. Obef."
indicates he was on a list of "missing persons," people who had left the parish
without getting the proper papers.
I couldn't find a good match for Mary Ekelund on the Emibas CD, which is estimated to
cover about 75% of the persons who left Sweden in the 1840s through the 1920s. It may be
that she emigrated using a patronymic name and only adopted the name Ekelund in the U.S.
Hope this helps -
Mark Johnson
