Carlson Johannes Magnus (born 1847 Motala)

[Gaye Cook]

I wish to learn more about my great grandfather Johannes Carlson who was born 1 Aug 1847 Motala, to Carl Magnuson and Anna Britta Peterson. He came to Australia in 1847 from Hamburg but I do not know when, or from where, he left Sweden. He had 3 sisters, Johanna, Christine and Edla(?) that I know of. I would like to learn more about his family and forebears in Sweden. Any suggestions or help gratefully received.
