Grandchildren Who Immigrated

I have given some dates for Samuel's children who came from Sweden to the United States. Inger Sofia Backman and Abraham Kristiansson also had children who immigrated. These children assumed the name Chistensson in their American records, sometimes with diverse spellings. Because none of their children passed the name down I will will use this spelling.

I have reported Samuel's children as they immigrated, let me add a little for these children of Inger Sofia's.

Kristina Octavia, who would marry Axel Alfred Carlson, is given a pleasant article in www.familysearch.org by Crystal Noel Taylor (dated January 2014). This article gave me some information I had not recalled seeing previously, and for which I am grateful to gain.
In ArkivDigital [Lundby BI:4 (1885-1894) Image 390/page 34] we find the Utfyttnings-Längd record #134 on August 21, 1888, stating Kristiansson, Kristina Oktavia, local girl, going to N. Amerika. She would be 19 that year. In the same record Johan Edmund is also reported to be leaving that parish.

Sven Albert, I believe I have found enroute Copenhaven to Hull as Christensen, Sven, foster child, aged 10. Dates and age fit with my record, but I cannot determine with whom he is traveling as a foster child. Did he come with returning missionaries as William did? Also, I cannot find his passage from Liverpool to New York (the route I presume was used) and as yet I cannot determine where he lived when he arrived. He was 10, he must have stayed with someone. He was in the Sixteenth Ward in Salt Lake City when he died in 1885.
Johan Albert died, aged 23, from an injury while doing railroad work in northern Utah, and was buried in Brigham City.
Edit, left Sweden at age 19, as reported in the Lundby records [ArkivDigital, Lundby BII:2 (1906-1927) Image 56/page 102] on September 24, 1909. She married Carl Johansson before passing away at the State Hospital in Provo.


With these we have our American family. We do not break our ties with Sweden, as we will see, but will soon be a family "born in the USA".
