      Glad to join!  My great-grandfather August Andreason (b. 1871-01-22) was born to Andreas Svensson (b. 1834-06-26) and Johanna Nilsdotter (b. 1836-12-06) in Åsaka in Lekåsa parish. He was one of 7 children (others were Anna Kristina, Mathilda, Ida Kristina, Svante, Beda and Johan Aron).  The specific place of his birth is listed as Svenstorps Rote Stora Flättorp.  Is this a particular farm?  August ultimately emigrated to the US and changed his last name to Swanson. Does anyone have information about the siblings who may have remained in Sweden, or about the family in general, or the farm?  Thank you !  Bruce Karstadt Minneapolis MN
