Hello,
I am seeking information on/descendants of my grandfather's (John A. Carlson)
siblings. All were born in Drangsered Parish, Hallands County, Sweden. Their
parents were Carl August Hakansson and Sara Johansdotter.
Carl Gustaf Karlsson (Gust Carlson) was born 2-8-1875; in 1945, he was residing
in Jamestown, NY.
I do not know whether the following emigrated or remained in Sweden: (1) Hilda
Nicolina Karlsdotter, born 1-28-1864; (2) Severina Karlsdotter, born 1-18-1869;
and Bengt Edvard Karlsson, born 7-17-1880.
Also, I am looking for information on my father's (Arthur E. Carlson) siblings.
Parents were John A. and Augusta Carlson. (1) Carl Carlson was born in Arstad,
Hallands County, Sweden in 1899. He emigrated in 1902 to Ridgway, PA. Later,
he moved to Jamestown, NY. His daughter, Harriet Marie Carlson, married Sterel
Lane. Their daughter was Bonnie Marie. (2) Hilma Carlson was born in Sweden in
1901. She emigrated in 1902. Her daughter was Alice. (3) Harry Carlson was
born around 1904 (?) in Ridgway, PA. Later, he moved to Jamestown, NY. He had
twin sons. Believed to have moved to one of the U.S. Southwestern states.
Lots of names and dates! Thanks for your time and interest.
