I came across an old post of yours on ABRAHAMSON & NELSON. I have a John Abrahamson, b. 1816 Karda, Jonkoping, Sweden who immigrated in 1854 and settled in Rockford, IL. His wife, Anna NELSON was from Granna, Gronmark, Sweden. Their children are: Inga Sophia (m. Holmquist); John; August (*see more info); Nelson, Gustus, Emma & Alfred. *August m. Anna Charlotte "Lottie" Peterson 1868 in Galesburg, IL. Hope we can find that we are "cousins" somehow. What state do you live in? Please respond to: juwilly@new.rr.com from WI.
