Surnames: Carlson, Erickson, Sandberg, Swanberg Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/wl.2ADE/54.1 Message Board Post: Your Gustave may have been a brother to my great-grandfather, August Peter Carlson. I have Gustaf Ferdinand Carlson married to his first wife Lottie Erickson. Came to Kansas around 1869. Gustave Ferdinand's parents: father, Gustave Ferdinand Karlson, mother., Elizabeth Marie, (Lisa Maji). Gustave (father) maybe born 1830, his mother maybe Martha? This last taken from 1870 census. I don't have a lot of information, most of this from Gustaf daughter, Bess, who wrote this when she was 95 years old.
