Thank you for any help > When requesting help on a genealogy list, you should identify all the information that you have on the person. Do you know when she was born, her date of birth? Do you have her obituary. Have you asked her children about her? Are you trying to find out information about her while in the United States, living in Sumner; or, are you trying to find information about her ancestry in Sweden? I live about 8-10miles from Sumner and also have access to a multitude of online databases, so I can help. Please identify what information you have and what you are seeking. Also, where do you live? If you are near Sumner, you can obtain much of the information locally in the library. Ron Bestrom

On the Ellis Island website, I found an Edith Maria Johansson age 14, arriving from Sweden August 31, 1900. She was apparently traveling alone, heading to New Jersey. This may or may Not be your Edith. A very large portion of Norwegian and Swedish Johansen, Johannessen, etc, changed their name to Johnson. Do you know her middle name? You indicated in your email that you lived with her, do you have any idea on her date of death? Even the decade? If she is buried with Sabo, the Sumner Mausoleum should have a record-I'll check with them. Ron
