My grandfather was Erik August Johannes (Johnson), he was born Mar. 9, 1862 in Varmland (Vase parish) Sweden. He came to US in 1881 at age of 19 and settled in Osage City, KS.He married Lovisa Nystrom in 1893 and they had 5 sons, Arthur B: 1894, Harry B: 1895, Ralph B: 1897, Richard B: 1898 and Clarence B: 1900. Erik's father was Johannes Andersson B: 1827 in Varmland (Vase parish) Sweden and married Maria Olfsdotter, they had 6 sons, Anders B: 1856, Olof B: 1857, Lars B: 1859, Erik B: 1862, Wilhelm B: 1864, and Carl B" 1866. Olof came to US in 1887 with wife Charlotte and son Carl and headed for Worthington, Carl came to US in 1886 and headed for Ridgeway, PA. Johannes's father was Anders Larsson B: 1789 in Varmaland married Lisa Larsdotter and they had 3 sons and 1 daughterJohannes B: 1827, Lars B:1830, Anders B: 1834 and Stina B:1837. Anders father was Lars Andersson B: 1769 in Varmland, married Maria Andersdotter and had 3 sons so far as I know as I am still working on this family. They were Anders B: 1789, LarsB: 1793 and Nils B: 1791, hard tracking familys as last name changes each generation. Have not been able to track the 2 boys who came to US. Did find them listed in Gotenborg on passenger list for Hull England as everyone had to register with police before leaving Sweden. When looking for Worthington in US I found at least 4, one was in MN. and I did hear my grandfather had a brother in MN. Would like to find any family in US and in Sweden. My grandfathers sons are all passed on and their siblings I know. Looking for his brother's familys . Also know Wilhelm went to graduate school in Sweden and we think he became a teacher, moved to east coast of Sweden in Gryt and changed his his last name to Lindstron. Jean in cold snowy Wisconsin.
