I am looking for information on the parents of my great-great grandfather Anders Petter Ekelof or Eklof (americanized to Oakley). He was born 8 Sep 1846 in Ranneslov, Halland, Sweden, the son of Sven Olofsson Ekelof and Ingrid Britta (Ingerbritta) Olofsdotter.
He came to the US in 1872 with a brother, Oliver (unknown date of birth).
His father had a first marriage to a Christina Jonsson who died in 1843.
