I am trying to find information on my grt. Grandmother Augusta Hjort b. Feb.09, 1865 who emmigrated from Sweden in 1883 ending up in Shelby Co. IL. and married Andrew Peter Johnasson(Johnson) died 1941and is buried in Swedish Lutheran Cemetery in Trowbridge, IL. Also her sister Amanda Charlotta Hjort b. August 19(13), 1861in Sweden Älvsborgs County. Do not know when she emmigrated, but she was in Illinois. and married August Soliquist and both of them are buried in Swedish Lutheran Cemetery by sister Augusta and her husband.
There were also a sister Ida Christina b.May 23, 1868, brothers Carl Emil b. Jan 28, 1873 and Johan Hjalmar b. 1876 all in Bälinge Parish Sweden. Have no record of any of these coming over to U.S. When Augusta and Amanda were in Illinois they used the last name of Swanson instead of Hjort. Can anyone help me?
