Can you help me find the Wilhelm Olsson family in Boston ?

[Kjell Axelsson]

Hi!
I have tried to locate Wilhelm Olsson born 1840 in Skeda,Sweden. He went to Boston in 1880, the 21 of februari. Later that year 1880, 7 of May his wife Clara Matilda Olsson (maiden name Johansdotter) born 1849 in Heda, Sweden went with their children Ella, Frank and Georg. Also on that journey was the brother to Clara, Josef Karlsson born 1863 in Svanshals, Sweden. They had a sister Eva Carlsson born 1858 in Svanshals, Sweden but she went to Boston in 1874.
The ticket is set from Gothenburg to Boston via Hull, England. I have been in contact with NARA (Boston) archives but have had no luck (they couldn't find them).
Is there anyone who can help me?

I am looking for descendents to John Larson and his wife Alvina Larson, born Rosander. Alvina was born in Alvsby 1887, and arrived in Boston Massachussets on the ship Saxonia, in 1907.  
They had two children and lived in Kitsap Washington. That is all the facts I have at the moment and I would be very grateful if somebody could help me to find out more and maybe get in touch with descendents to them. My father is a cousin to Alvina. I live in Sweden myself, but I write this is English if someone in the US might read it. /Margaretha Johansson

I was unable to identify which William and Clara Matilda Olson were the correct persons, but I did find the second request logged under this question:
    In 1930 John & Alvina Larson lived in Katsap, Washington (U.S. Federal census).  He was 47 and she was 45, and he worked as a logger in the lumber industry.  Their daughter was 15 year old Frances, and their son was 14 year old Walter.  The census listed their immigration dates wrong by one year, but I'm sure this is the person you were looking for.
   In 1920 they lived in the same county (Kitsap), in the district of Waterman, and they lived on Waterman Valley Road.  Their children, Frances E. Larson was 6 years old, and their son, John W (Walter) was 3 years and 3 months old.  The census was taken in January 1920, so you can tell from that approximately when John Walter had been born.  On that census he said that his occupation was farmer, general farm. They owned their home without a mortgage.  The wife's name was spelled incorrectly as Elvina.
   I am not very good at finding people in the social security death index, so perhaps someone else can do that for you.

Kerstin!
Tack för all hjälp - jag har nu fullt sjå att få in detta i mitt register och jag återkommer med fler frågor senare.
Jag är grön på det här så jag hamnade tyvärr på fel sida men har rättat till det och lagt det rätt nu med efterlysning på emigrant -Anders Risberg.
Jag söker även hans bröder som vi inte vet något om.
Tack för allt jobb du lägger ner!
Mvh

Hej Kerstin!
Jag blev konfunderad på ditt mail den 14 nov-08 09:06 ang In the cencus of 1920 Alice and Mahlon Zearfoss.
Där står att Alice Zearfoss är 30 år och det innebär att hon skulle vara född 1879 men min Alice är född 1889, och menas det att även modern är skriven hos dem ? /Carrie Reisberg 69 Mother/?
 
Samma på Minnesota death index about Alice G Zearfoss. Där står att modern namn är Stromberg? Alices mamma heter Svensdotter ?? Annars stämmer ju ålder.
/eva lave

[Kerstin Thölix]

Bör inte Alice vara född omkring 1889 om hon är 30 år 1920? Och jo, det är nog hennes mamma som bor hos henne. Och kan inte mamman ha hetat Karna Svensdotter Strömberg? Cencus 1920 är gjord den 12 januari så mamman kan ha hunnit resa till Minneapolis och avlidit där i april samma år.
