Augustin(e) brothers from Sweden to St Paul

Surnames: Augustin, Friberg, Metcalf
I am looking for descendants of three brothers of my gg-grandmother who came to America from Sweden. I believe they settled in St Paul, Minnesota, and at least one or two of them took the name Augustine or Augustin. They were Nels Åkesson Augustine, b. Nov 5, 1855, Trued (Frank?) Åkesson (Augustine?) b. Nov 9, 1847 and Måns Åkesson Pearson b.March 13, 1851.

Nels Augustine married Johanna Eriksson (Jennie) b. 1869, and had at least three children: Nellie* Paulina b. June 3, 1887, Hildegard* Eugenia b. Sep 2, 1890 and Frans Mauritz* b. Oct 4, 1893. In 1900 the family lived in St Paul, MN, but in 1920 Jennie, Hildegard and Mauritz lived in California.

I know Hildegard married Carl Friberg b. 1887 and that she died Feb 26, 1962 in Oakland CA. They had a son, Carl Friberg b. May 2, 1912 in Alameda Co, CA.

Nels Augustine's brother Trued Åkesson MIGHT be Frank Augustine, who married Anna Charlotta b. 1856. They had the following children: Frederick L b. 1883 in MN, George A b. 1884 in MN, and Elna or Ellenor b. Jan 1891.

Elna or Ellenor married Allen Metcalf b. ca 1895 in North Carolina. The family lived in St Paul, MN. One son was Ralph Leonard Metcalf, b. Feb 19, 1910, d. Sep 28,1980 in Hennepin Co.

Other children were Janelle or Jeanette b. ca 1912, Ferman b. ca 1917, Rosalie b. ca 1924, Lillian b. ca 1926 and Allen b. ca 1930.

The third brother may have taken the name Pearson after his father, and was living with his brother Nels Augustine. He was unmarried at that time.

If you know of any descendants, and if you are interested in their ancestry, please write!
