Immigration 1868

[Carla Weide Boehm]

My grandfather immigrated from Sweden in 1862, according to a 1900 US census. His name was Augustus S Aelmore. However, my family stated he did not like his father and changed his name to Aelmore, and that his original name was Svensson or Svenson. His dates are 19 Aug 1852-24 Mar 1934. He married Joanna Catlin and had 11 children. He died in Mcpherson County KS.
Would love to find his parents and which location in Sweden he is from.

I was told to change my wording. By my grandfather I mean my mother's mother's mother's father. I hope that isn't more confusing.
