Emilia Larsson f. 1894 i Sunnemo förs. Värmland

[Elisabeth Bolin]

Hello
Do you know anything about Emilia Larsson. She was born in Sunnemo and after some years she moved with her parents and brother to Elfsbacka förs. In 1914 she emigrated to her onkel John Nelson in Erie, Peesylvania, USA.
After that we know nothing more than she came home some times to visit. Maby she moved back to Sweden around 1940 and died here. Maybe she was married in USA and got the name Lindblad?
I would be  greatful to have some help.
Elisabeth

Hi Elisabeth,
 
It might be helpful to post this on several English language forums for Swedish research, and also on forums for Pennsylvania and Erie.Advertise on all of these. If you are a Swede, as I suspect you are, make sure you mention that. People will probably be more interested in your problem. :-)

Also try surname boards.

There are various spellings of Larson/Larsdotter on this page. Try all of them, even the ones spelled incorrectly for Swedes. Many Swedish descendants are quite confused about the proper spelling to use.

It would also be helpful to provide when she was born and names of her parents and brother and other siblings. Her name is common, even in the U.S.
 
I suppose this is the person you are looking for, so I assume she was born about 1894. Information comes from the Emihamn database of CD Emigranten.

I found a person who seems to be yours on the Ellis Island site. Be sure to check the manifest pages.

Peesylvania is spelled Pennsylvania.
 
Do you have her birthdate?
 
Good luck!

Hi Elisabeth,
I managed to find John Nelson whom I did not expect to locate but did not find Emilia.  He was at Bethany Lutheran in Erie, PA.  Because he was there, I didn't check into the covenant or baptist churches but both of them only had records of ministerial actions such as marriages, funerals, etc.
