Return to Sweden seems to be a little early: His son Gustaf Fredrik was born in Bridgeport March 15 1892. GF recalled catching crabs on the beach. Could he have recalled this less than 3 years old. Probaly not. He is said to return to Sweden when 5 years old, which then would be 1897. (besides "rem to Sweden" there are statement of rem to Delaware and to Naugatuck????) August´s employment is slightly confusing: he was building contractor and when returning to Sweden he bought a multistore stone house, which is proving that he had made some money "over there". Thank you for helping me to find information about my fathers first five years in USA. rgds Berit Anderson
