Ekman, Carl/Karl George from Karlskoga

[Linda Stone-Kolln]

Looking for my grandfathers sisters and brothers who remained in Sweden along with information on their parents. They were from Karlskoga. My grandfather Karl born Apr 23 1898 emigrated to the US in 1922 and settled in Worcester Mass. His brother Ragnar, sisters Anna, Gerda Ekman Stertman, Karin and Agnes Ekman Segerholm supposedly never left Sweden. His father Carl Johan was born Apr 2 1860 in Odeshog Alvsborg but went by the name of Peter. His mothers name was Ida Charlotta Pettersson born around Feb 28 1862 in the same Alvsborg area. I have not been able to verify those dates or find information on them or even their parents. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Linda Stone-Kolln

Hi Lena, Thank you for looking into this. Was there any information on a brother Ragnar or another sister named Karin? If there is any infomaton on Ida Charlotta Pettersson's parents or Carl Johan Ekmans parents? Linda

Bo and Lena,
Thank you so much for this information. I guess I will just have to keep looking for Karin. Thanks again for the time you took to look this up for me. Linda

Hi Linda,
 
Order microfilm for the county of Örebro and then select civil registration in the Family History Library Catalog. There will be extracts of birth, marriage, and death records from 1860-1920.
