Surnames: Carlson, Fossum
I am looking for any information about the Carlson's.
Emigrated from Sweden around 1900. Names would be Carl, Anna (Annie), Hilma Amanda, Magness and possibly a child of one of the bothers Greka.
thanks Carolyn

Carolyn,
Have found a family in the Chatfield area (twp 20 range 1W). Carl A. Carlson was born in Delsbo, Sweden on December 30, 1874 and Anna was born May 16, 1878. They immigrated from Sweden in 1903. Children don't seem to add up though. Two daughters born in Sweden are Anna in 1899 and Hildur in 1901.

Thanks very much Karen, did you find this on a census? I tried looking but couldn't find anything. Would you have an idea where I could find some immigration records and maybe the other sisters are listed. This would have been about the time that they came so hopefully this is the same family.
Thanks again Carolyn

Hello Carolyn,
The story is from the book, "The Interlake Beckoned, A history of Inwood and surrounding districts" which was printed in 1980.

Carl A. Carlson Family
Mr. Carlson was born in Delsbo, Sweden, on December 30, 1874, and Anna, his wife, was born May 16, 1878.
They immigrated to Canada in 1903, arriving in Winnipeg on September 9. They spent three years in the Elmwood district, then homesteaded in the Carlsborg school district in 1906.
There were two daughters born in Sweden, Anna, December 20, 1899, and Hildur, May 24,1901. Alice was born in Winnipeg on August 10, 1904, and Gilbert at Inwood April 28, 1910.
There were two girls and one boy that died in infancy.
Mr. Carlson was a carpenter by trade, and after his wife's death on August 6, 1912, the children were alone, with some help from relatives and friends. They endured many hardships. There was little schooling and they worked on the farm.
Gilbert attended Carlsborg school and then spent his earlier years helping his father on the farm.
Anna was married to Gotfred Axelson. They had one daughter, Joan (Mrs. F. House) who lives at Wawota, Sask. A son, Ralph, died when he was 9 years old. Anna passed away on March 28, 1955.
Hildur was married to Emil Enberg. There were five children.
Enid (Mrs. R. Dugas), who lives in Winnipeg.
Edward-lives on the farm at Inwood.
Roy-who lives in Winnipeg.
Joyce (Mrs. E. Futz) lives in Winnipeg.
Alice (Mrs. A. Peterson) lives in Winnipeg.
Hildur passed away July 3, 1964.
Alice Carlson married Rudy Boosted. There was one son, Dick. Alice passed away in 1964 also.
Gilbert is married to Germaine Verscheure. They have two boys, Victor and Ralph, who both reside in Winnipeg. Gilbert is the last surviving member of the original Carlson family.
Carl Carlson outlived his three daughters. He passed away on November 29, 1964, only a month before his 90th birthday.

Hope you find this is the right family for you.
