Johan Wictor Jonasson and his sister Hulda Maria Andersson

[Ingrid Andersson]

I´m seeking facts about my great-grandfather Johan Wictor Andersson Jonasson, born 1867 in Sjöafalla, Barkeryd, Sweden, and his sister Hulda Maria Andersson Jonasson, born 1870 at the same place.
He (they?) emigrated to the U.S in 1889 and lived, he in Eau Claire County, Wisconsin - she in Chicago,atleast in 1907.
Perhaps they raised families, and thus perhaps I have relatives in the U.S.

Hi Ingrid,
 
I think that I have found both Johan and Hulda and even another brother Carl.
 
Those three came from Barkeryd and Johan, 17 year and Carl, 19 year went in the same time to New York, 1885, Aug. 1 and Hulda went to Mediapolis 1892, July 12, 22 years old.
The harbour was for all of them Göteborg.

Hi, Sam!
Thank You for Your help, I?m not sure it?s my Johan Wictor that You found, because as far as I know he was still in Barkeryd in 1888, when my grandfather was born. And I don?t know of any brother Carl.
Hulda may be the correct person - I will have to search some more to see if she emigrated in 1892: Please mail me again if You find something more.
 
Regards

Hej Ingrid
jag sysslar med försvunna släktingar i just Eau Claire, De kom dit 1887, vi kan väl informera i detta forum om vi får napp någonstans. Mina heter Erikson, Johan och Erika, från Nordmaling( AC)
Har observerat att många emigranter från Äppelbo i Dalarna kom just till Eua Claire. har gjort efterlysningar på just Äppelbo i Anbytarforum, men inget nytt än så länge.
