Swedish great grandparents were living in Hartland, Pierce County in Wisconsin in 1880, the year my grandfather was born in that township. Are there ways to find out the full names of gr grandparents, John and Elizabeth who came here from Sweden?

Hi,
I had a quick look at your public tree, and you have John Anderson arriving in New York on 25th May 1870, aged 10. However, if you mean the John Anderson who arrived on that date on the "NEVADA" then he was aged 25 on the ships passenger list, born abt 1845, so I don't think that would be him.

There was a 9 year old John Impest Anderson arrived on the ship "EUROPA" on 7th May 1869. ...Swedish, born abt 1860, he had three others with him... James Anderson, aged 33 born 1836 Sweden....Christina Sophia Anderson, aged 42, born 1827 Sweden.... and Anna Sophia, aged 9, born 1860.

On the USA census, living at Smokey, McPherson, Kansas were... Christina Anderson b 1827, aged 43....John
A Anderson, born Sweden 1860, aged 10....And Anna S Anderson born 1863 Sweden, aged 7.

Then this family can be found in Wisconsin, (which isn't far north from Smokey, Kansas) on the 1880 census, as follows.... Stina [This is obviously Christina], aged 51, b 1829 Sweden (and she is now widowed)....Nick Anderson, aged 23, born 1857 Sweden....John Anderson, aged 19, born 1860 Sweden....And Selma Anderson, an infant, born 1879, Wisconsin.

Nick had arrived in New York 19th May 1880, aged 23, from London on the ship "CANADA".

Are you sure about John's arrival date in New York
being 25th May on the NEVADA?

my grandfather, Clarence Leonard Anderson was born in Bay City, Wisconsin in 1880, so i figure that his parents, John and Elizabeth, together or individually came to US around 1860, or sooner, first from Sweden, then sailed to England before arrival to US. i've looked at passenger lists but the results haven't matched up. there were half brothers, arvid and david which suggests that Elizabeth was a second wife, i think... brothers to john anderson was hjalmer, edward, and arthur which suggests the reason for my grandfather naming his son, archibald. i did find a military record for clarence anderson for the third draft registration of September 12, 1918 at Olmsted County, Rochester, Minnesota but with this registration, the required information was basic.
