Please help me locate information on Anders Petter Johannesson (changed his name to Andrew Johnson)when he came to America in 1889 and his wife, Martha Johnson who migrated to the U.S. from Norway in 1890. Andrew was a shoemaker in Arvika, Sweden and set up a shop in Washington State after migrating. He then paid the way for his siblings to come to America. Their names were: Maria Johannesdotter, Johan Johannesson, Olof Gustaf, Adolf, Lydia, & Hjalmar. He also had a brother, Carl who stayed in Sweden to farm the family farm. His parents were Johannes Olsson (1830) and Cajsa Andersdotter (1842). Andrew's wife died in 1905 and he died in 1908. I also need information on Martha who was born in 1869 in Bergen, Hordaland, Norway. Her parents were John Nelson and Rakel Autouson.
