Sven Nilsson born 26 Mar 1852, Hörby, Emigrated 1875 to US

[Bruce Franson]

Hello,
I am looking for information on Swan Nelson (I am assuming his Swedish name was Sven Nilson).  
 
He was born March 26, 1852 in Hörby (the English information says Hirby, so I am assuming it is Hörby).
 
His parents were Nils Nilsson and Elna (her name is listed as Elna Svenson in the US 1880 Census).  She was born about 1813.  Nils Nilsson died somewhere around 1860.  Sven Nilsson emigrated in 1875 with his widowed mother, and his cousins Christina Johnson and Hanna Johnson (that is the spelling of their name in the 1880 census - I assume it is Jonsson or Jonsdotter).
 
Any information you have would be appreciated.  I am his great grandson.

I posted a note on a genealogy forum (www.genealogy.com), and received the following information (probably from the emigration information).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sven Nilsson born 1852-03-26 in Hörby emigrated to USA 1869 from Hörby parish and with him were his brother Nils Nilsson born 1838-04-21 and he was married 1864 and his wife Elna Andersdotter born 1838-08-13 and two children Anders Nilsson born 1865-01-03 and Per Nilsson born 1865-12-19 left the same time.
In 1873 left their father and mother Nils Andersson born 1804-09-01 in Hörby Elna Svensdotter born 1812-08-05 in Hörby  
They are all except the father found in Svea EV. Luth. Ch. in Svea Kandiyohi Co MN.
You can find a photo in Jubilee-book from 1921 of
