I am looking for the ancestors of my great grandfather Charles (USA NAME CHANGE- SWEDISH ORIGINAL NAME POSSIBLY CARL) Gustafsson - His birth date is 14, January 1855 in I believe Norra Strö, Kristianstad, Skåne, Sweden. He emigranted to the US about 6, May 1880 into New York from Malmo, Sweden. I believe he was single at that time.
I believe his fathers name was Gustaf Nilsson (of Agunnaryd, Kronoberg, Sweden), and mother Anna Pehrsdotter (of Sörby, Skåne, Sweden) but I cannot find any information on this tree beyond USA.
Gustaf Nilsson possibly died 18 APR 1879 in Norra Stro, Sweden and he was born 56 FEB 1812 in gunnaryd, Kronoberg, Sweden. Anna Pehrsdotter's death is UNKNOWN but was born 11 JAN 1817 in Sörby, Skåne, Sweden.
Later Charles Gustafsson was married to Elsie Petersson in (1884 in the USA). She was also Swedish decent. Born February of 1861 in Sweden. Father and mother are unknown.
Carl Gustafsson died 07/22/1936 in Berkeley, Alameda County, California, USA.
If you can help with Carl's Parents and Siblings it would be greatly appreciated with any documentation. Also Elsie Petersson if possible. I am at a loss and cannot find anything.
Thanks so much guys!
