I have an ancestor Eric Johan Tavon who was born in 1799 in Maahlahti, Vaasa, whose oldest son Johan Isak Sjoblom emigrated to Sweden in 1869. His daughter, Anna, born in 1872 emigrated to the United States to Utah and married Carl Elof Andersson who was born in Hamneda, Sweden in 1869. She also had a sister Olivia Sjoblom who emigrated and married a neighboring miner.
Anna Sjoblom Anderson never liked to speak English and was often lectured by her family to try to sound more American. She told several interesting stories: one, that Carl Elof's family owned a brewery on an island near Stockholm, and that a member of her Finnish family had been fathered by a Russian prince.
Thrilled to correspond with family a half a world away!
