According to the Demographic database of southern Sweden (
www.ddss.nu) Pella Josefina was born July 13, 1894 in Mjällby.
There is no Johan/John Bernadot/t born in Mjällby, so I suppose Johan Johansson adopted the name after his emigration.
If this is the right Johan in census 1890 he was born Apr 7, 1872 in Mjällby - hopefully someone can verify his identity:
Home parish: Mjällby
