Brick wall- Spouses of my grandfather William P Olson.
I recently found some info on Ancestry that may shed some light on the problem. I came across a record in Gothenberg passenger lists1869-1951 Carolina Bergstrom Laxarby, age 25 departure 1882 for Minneapolis ship Romeo. this might be the person as I was showing Carolina born about 1856. Some of my male ancestors of William Olson were born and died in Laxarby ,also my mito matches ( female ) ancestors were born in Laxarby. I also think my grandfather was in the 1880 census in Minneapolis in 1883 he married Carolina in Colorado There is also a record of Josephine Bergstrom From Lidkoping born abt 1866 coming to New York 28 July of 1882 Family search doesnt have any comparable info records that I can check I am wondering if there is any info in the Sweden Household examination records from 1866- 1880 thanks Mike Schummer

Yes, there are Sweden Household examination records from 1866- 1880, for a lot of parish. If we want to check just for Laxarby or Lidköping it would be easy. But, do we know that Carolina and / or Josephine was born there?
We also have emigrations records, " Emibas" and "Emigranten" for the most of the emigrants. You need to have name and date of bith and also, to be sure to get the right person, also have his/hers place of birth. I do not know if you are familiar with "Arkiv Digital" http://www.arkivdigital.net/ They have scanned incredible amount of church books. You can subscribe for a month if you want...I have seen you have a family tree on Ancestry. The info you have there, is it the info you are sure of..? I mean, the date of their birth and date of marriage? The parents name : Leonard and Josephine, have you seen that info for both Caroline and Josephine?

Hi Yvonne, Were you able to see the attachments For Gothenberg Passenger lists? they are appearing on my screen by a reply of 21 hrs ago. They showed a Carolina & Josefina emigrating in 1882 but not together on the I have a death certif. from colorado that shows Josepines father was leonard Bergstrom & Mother was alsoJosephine Josephine was born 14 Dec 1867 the informant was her Husband William Olson. The only thing I have on Caroline ( Lena) is she appears in !885 Census age 29 with william 30 & daughter Jenny 1 . I also have Colorado Marriage licence showing Lena married to William in 1883 and a state record For Caroline showing she died 30 Dec. 1887 The cemetery record shows she was 31 in 1887. this would make her born abt 1856 and would agree with the Gothenburg record. 1882 for immigration for Caroline would be about right since she was married in Colorado in 1883 But I thought Josephine would be later after her sister died in 1887 Josephine married in 1888.1900 Census shows Josephine immigrated in 1887 but you cant depend on that. .Most of the info in Ancestry should be accurate . i dont like to put anything in without documentation... Thanks MIke Schummer

Yvonne, My email address is mschummer@cfl.rr.com Also my Mtdna match seems to think our connection would be in Laxarby beyond any records either of us have. Thank you very much Mike Schummer.
