Hi! I'm looking for a family that emigrated to the US from Sweden in 1882 and 1883. They settled in
Woodland, Aroostook, where I have found parts of the family through the census of 1900 and 1910. Are any of them familiar to any of you?
The members were;
Per(/Peter/Petter) Nilsson/Nelson, born in November 1833
Bothilda(/Thilda) Nilsson/Nelson, born in May 1839
Alfred
Rudolph, 1870 13/9, Ostraby, Sweden
Johanna
Sofia, 1873 7/8, Ostraby, Sweden
Maria(/Mary)
Amelia, 1876 16/3, Ostraby, Sweden
Emil(/Amos) August, 1879 9/3, Ostraby, Sweden
Gustav
Adolf, 1881 17/2, Ostraby, Sweden
In the census of 1900 and 1910 I have found the parents and the sons in
Woodland town, Skidget road.
All the sons were at this point unmarried.
In the records of "Gustav
Adolph Lutheran Church" in New Sweden, I have found that Peter and Thilda were members (Reception 1890) and when those records end, around 1925, there are still no notes about them having moved or died or anything else.
In the listings of
Maine marriages I have found the following:
04-17-1909 Johanna S. Nelson,
Woodland,
Maine, married to Edward
Lufkin,
Woodland,
MaineIn the census 1910, they are listed on
Pratt Road. No children yet.
Furthermore, in the records of the above mentioned church, I found this;
11-14-1906 Mary A. Nelson,
Woodland,
Maine, married to Elbridge G. Pratt,
Woodland,
Maine.
Any help in locating these people and their children would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Anna
