Good Morning Anders(s)on Researchers: I am searching for ancestors of JOHAN WILHELM ANDERSSON (known as John Anderson) and CLAES AXEL ANDERSSON (not sure of "Amerika name"). Johan was born Dec 18, 1855 in Vastra Husby Parish, Ostergotland and Claes was born May 19, 1852 in Ortomta Parish, Ostergotland, Sweden. They were brothers of my grandfather, CARL JULIUS ANDERSSON, (born October 29, 1869 Vastra Husby). JOHAN/JOHN immigrated to Minnesota from Gothenburg November 28, 1879. Believe him to be single at that time. CLAES AXEL, along with wife JOHANNA ELISABET NORDSTROM and daughter ANNA MARIA (born 1880) immigrated to Minnesota from Gothenburg May 6, 1881. My grandfather, CARL JULIUS ANDERSSON, immigrated to Minnesota from Gothenburg September 1, 1891. I have found JOHAN/JOHN living near Brainerd in a census but understand he later moved to Stockton, CA. Is anyone connected to these three brothers? I will be happy to share the info I have. Sure would be a nice Christmas gift to find ancestors of JOHAN/JOHN and CLAES AXEL. Also, if you have ancestors from Jonkoping, Sweden, there is an excellent website that has births, deaths and marriages.
