Gustave Edward Johnson

[ditt riktiga foroch efternamn]

I am searching for my grandfather's family history.  He was born 17 April 1885 (I think).  He emigrated to the United States when he was approximately 14 years old(1899 - 1902?), as a stowaway.
 
My grandfather had run away from home, worked for a short time in Sweden, then came to America.
 
If you have any information it would be greatly appreciated!

1. Johan Edvard, born 1884 in Gudmundrå, son of Per Jonsson and Stina Lisa Myrholm
 
2. Johan Edvard, born 1884 in Nora, son of Johannes Nilsson and Katarina Norstrand.
