Carlson

I am trying to find Alfred and Anna Carlson, who lived in Skovde, Gotseland, Sweden. They had a son named Hjlamar George Carlson 7-24-1891 to 1973. This is my ggrandfather. I am trying to find anything about his parents and back. Any help would be great. I know  Hjalmar went to the USA in 1910 to New York and I have the family from there, just not back.

    Also, Hjalmars second given name of George sound less likely to me in Sweden so I just looked for Hjalmar. Hjalmar seems very likely to be his birth name. No one in the US would likely pick Hjalmar.

      I know that he came to America in 1910, but I have no idea on what ship. I found him in the census in Suffolk, Mass april, 11 1940. He was staying with a friend working before he went to Nebraska to live.

        I did find something that stated Alfred Carlson would have died in Skove, Sweeden in about 1909.
