I am the great-great grandson of this gentleman. I have tracked his steps here in the USA, but am looking for information prior to comming to the states. Information on brothers and sisters and if they came to the states at the same time or later or stayed in Sweden.
He arrived in the United States on 17 July 1870 and renounced his citizenship to Sweden on 21 August 1873.
Relatives always heard that he was from Smolen, Sweden. But I suspect that with a strong accent, Smolen might sound like Smalland, Sweden which is a place that I can find in Sweden.
Nearest I can find is that he was born in 1833 and left Sweden for the USA in 1870.
