David Stephens replied to Ron Johnson's discussion Inger Larson/Ingren Nelson: Sweden & East Longmeadow, MA in the group Älvsborgs County Ancestry - SwedenJeff Tischer replied to Ron Johnson's discussion Inger Larson/Ingren Nelson: Sweden & East Longmeadow, MA in the group Älvsborgs County Ancestry - Sweden"Wow! That shows where the Guilford, CT "Red Herring" comes from! If you look at the entry #11 above Augusta, it is that person who is buried in Guilford, not Augusta. The enrty for Augusta was obviously keyed into the data base with that…"

Ron Johnson replied to Ron Johnson's discussion Inger Larson/Ingren Nelson: Sweden & East Longmeadow, MA in the group Älvsborgs County Ancestry - Sweden"Actually, Augusta's parents are listed on her death certificate (see below)... And if you look at the original 1900 US Census, it is pretty clear that Andrew's father's name is Nils not Neile; and there is a headstone in EL Cemetery…"
Jeff Tischer replied to Ron Johnson's discussion Inger Larson/Ingren Nelson: Sweden & East Longmeadow, MA in the group Älvsborgs County Ancestry - Sweden"Well Andrew probably omitted to let the church know he left is all. He may not have wanted them to know due to conscription or such. Or he just didn't bother. The household exam record shows an unusual entry about America in Swedish folowed by…"
Ron Johnson replied to Ron Johnson's discussion Inger Larson/Ingren Nelson: Sweden & East Longmeadow, MA in the group Älvsborgs County Ancestry - Sweden"Yes... I have Andrew coming to the US in 1881, according to the 1910 US Census... He was naturalized in 1884, married in 1885; and their first child Julian was born in June of 1886. I'm wondering why he would have to go back to Sweden, and…"
Jeff Tischer replied to Ron Johnson's discussion Inger Larson/Ingren Nelson: Sweden & East Longmeadow, MA in the group Älvsborgs County Ancestry - Sweden"I am 99% certain that your Andrew Johnson is the one I located. He "officially" left Torrestorps for America 15 Jan 1886. But it appears from other another record that he may have traveled to America as early as 1881. He also had another…"
Ron Johnson replied to Ron Johnson's discussion Inger Larson/Ingren Nelson: Sweden & East Longmeadow, MA in the group Älvsborgs County Ancestry - Sweden"The doc my grandfather filled out for the Justice Department reads: "Dec. 1, 1858"... It also reads: "Forestorp" which I always assumed was a typo... I did a quick check and could find no such parish..."
Ron Johnson replied to Ron Johnson's discussion Inger Larson/Ingren Nelson: Sweden & East Longmeadow, MA in the group Älvsborgs County Ancestry - Sweden"Looking thru the records, especially census records, I often see the dates go back and forth with a year's difference... I think it comes from part forgetfulness and part from deriving dates from what people say their age is...
Yes, my cousin…"
Jeff Tischer replied to Ron Johnson's discussion Inger Larson/Ingren Nelson: Sweden & East Longmeadow, MA in the group Älvsborgs County Ancestry - Sweden"As to Augusta Nelson I found her Massachussets Death Record Here:
http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=recordimage&c=fs:1675350&r=r_310684501&pn=p1
Interesting that it states that she is buried in Guilford Connecticut?…"
Jeff Tischer replied to Ron Johnson's discussion Inger Larson/Ingren Nelson: Sweden & East Longmeadow, MA in the group Älvsborgs County Ancestry - Sweden"As to Anders Johnson:
I found an Anders Johnson born 1 Dec 1858 in Torestorp. In the records you have, is the birth date written as 1/12 1858? I ask this because the dates in the church records are written as day/month not month/day..."

Ron Johnson replied to Ron Johnson's discussion Inger Larson/Ingren Nelson: Sweden & East Longmeadow, MA in the group Älvsborgs County Ancestry - Sweden"Anything is possible in this craziness we call ancestor research... I have Andrew's birthdate & place from a doc my grandfather (their son) filed with the Justice Department; I have Andrew's & Augusta's info from several US…"
Jeff Tischer replied to Ron Johnson's discussion Inger Larson/Ingren Nelson: Sweden & East Longmeadow, MA in the group Älvsborgs County Ancestry - Sweden"I checked the birth records for the dates/locations listed but there was nothing. Is it possible you have some dates/locations mixed up? I checked the records here: http://www.arkivdigital.net/

Carl Swanson replied to Ron Johnson's discussion My FarFar's father & grandfather, East Longmeadow, MA quarrymen in the group Sweden and Swedish Ancestry"Another thought is that many of the Swedish quarrymen in East Longmeadow came from Sweden by way of the quarries in Portland, CT. The fact that your grandfather was naturalized in Middletown suggests that this is a pretty good possibility in your…"

Jim Avery said… - Hello - I was helping a lady on here yesterday. She is in Sweden and is looking for a Johnson family in Jamestown NY. I realize that is a very common name. But was wondering if that might be the same family you are researching?
