Hi Kurt, Thank you so much for looking this up for me. I have printed this out & will save it. The only thing that throws me off is the middle name for Anna. 1890 Swedish census claims it is Anna Greta. In swedish language could this be a short version for Margareta? Today I found on the Ellis Island web site & it's close. Peter Jonas Bergstrom - 61 years, contractor, Foreman - born in Sweden came from Nyland. Imm 10/12/1914. Anna Magrete - 62 years, Son Karl Ragna 18 years, Daughter Lillay Sigrid 20 years Meeting son in law Albert Johnson Boston Massachusetts. Again aside for these middle names which don't match against the 1890 swedish census that I wrote in my previous note. I am totally confused. Now to go check out the other names you gave me to see if I can find them in Ellis Island's web site. Or in our census. Thank you again for your help!
