August Bengtsson Hök

[Bo Lanesjö]

My great grandfather August Bengtsson emigrated from Sweden on the 4th of April 1890. He was born on the 15th (or 25th) of August 1844 in the parish of Oersaas in the south-west of Sweden. Before emigrating he was a soldier and he had a family with wife Inga Christina Andersdotter and four children who remained in Sweden. Our only traces of him today are two photographs, one from Escanaba, Gladstone, Michigan and the other from Cleveland (Euclid Ave.) Ohio  
 
I would very much appreciate any information about his whereabouts in the US including possible decendants.
 
Bo Lanesjo.
