Dear Gina
Hello,your querie was sent to me by Mary Lanigan. I don't know if we connect or not but my great grandfather had a sister Lovisa Anna Johansson born November 13 1858 in Ramkvilla,Jonkoping,Sweden.She emigrated to Iowa in 1877.She may have married in Sweden and moved with a husband.Her siblings all followed to the Fairfield area.On arrival to the USA their last name was changed to Johnson.Mary found some notations to my great grandfathers'siblings in the 1886 Rural Township directory.
Fairfield Iowa
C Johnson( Brother Carl)
Louisa Johnson ( sister)
Peter A Nelson
40 acre section 16;Fairfield
(sister Emma Johnson married a Peter A Nelson)
Alfred Johnson 158 acres section 13 Fairfield
My great grandfather was Gust or Samuel August Johnson
All the Johnson siblings were born in Ramkvilla and moved to Myresjo,Jonkoping, Sweden.
If you know Louisa's birth date and it connects then I will give you all the genealogy back to 1769 that I have. I am looking for the Johnson family in Iowa as I know very little.Emma Johnson has a g.grandson Daniel Josefson in Iowa who I found but he knows nothing of his g.grand mother. so Gina I hope we connect but I don't know too much.
Sincerely Donna Paul
Vancouver,Canada
