I know this is really reaching but was you Ernst Ekström my Ernst Oscar Johansson Ekström (b. 21 July 1882, Ekhult Södregård, Markaryd)? The son of the soldier Johan Ekström and Mathilda Johansdotter? If so, we have a relationship of sorts. My Ernst Oscar was my 3rd cousin 3 times removed. We shared the couple of Nils Svensson and Maja Svensdotter. They were his morfars fars parents and they were my mormors farfars mors parents.

Re: Ekstrom Family Portraits

nmattoon1 — 2011-05-17 10:28:53Z

Hi,
I hope that you are still involved as it's 6 years on and I just found this post thanks to a Swedish friend who is helping me trace my family. My great grandfather immigrated from Rydaholm in the late 1860's and had three brothers who also came to Chicago area. Their original surname was Peterson, but family "myth" says they changed their name to Matoon (or Mattoon-my spelling) because there were too many Petersons in the area. We believe that Gust (Gustaf) and Johan or Johannes (John) are my great grandfather's brothers. My great grandfather left Chicago with wife Emma in late 1880s and came to Minnesota (East Chain township)and the family subsequently lost touch as my great grandfather Carl (Charles Matoon) died in 1923. I would love to see these pictures if you still have them!
Best,
Nancy Mattoon

Re: Henning B. Ekstrom - Minnesota

ekstrom7544 — 2011-03-21 01:13:34Z

I have a pretty complete list of my relatives, and there is no Henning. I live in Minnesota, though. I found the microfiche records at the Denver library helped me a lot in pinning down dates of death, etc, for relatives we had lost track of in the early 1900's. I also called the cemetary where my Grandfather's sister in law was buried, and they were able to give me a date of death for her husband.

Ekstrom/Nilsson

ekstrom7544 — 2011-03-20 06:31:51Z

Adolph Ekstrom was married to Ameila. He had changed his name from Nilsson after he came over from Sweden. The chilren of Adolph's son Wendell Anton (Anton Wendell) were named Mary Frances Ekstrom Carothers, George F., and LaVerne Ekstrom Bennett. Laverne graduated from high school in Colorado in 1937.

Re: Ekstrom/Nilsson

ekstrom7544 — 2011-03-19 03:13:30Z

I am really glad to hear from you! I just got back from visiting my son in Denver, and I found Adolph and Emilia's grave sites. If you look at the draft card from WWI and the census from 1920 Anton was born in Bertrand, Nebraska. All four of the Ekstrom children, Anton, Esther, Conrad, and Emmett were born there. My cousin has a post card from Bertrand, Nebraska, and she couldn't figure out the connection until I found the draft card. I have a photo of Adolph holding my Aunt Marj. My father-Robert Ekstrom was in Mary Frances's wedding photo. Adolph was my grandfather's brother. Both of them came over from Sweden and changed their name to Ekstrom. Emilia was born in Sweden too, as was my grandmother Marie. My grandfather didn't marry until 1903-he was 43 at the time, and their children weren't born until 1914, and 1916, so my father was of Anton and Marie's children's generation. I also have a photo of Marie. I have been corresponding with a relative in Sweden, and he has traced the family back to the 1600's.

Re: Ekstrom/Nilsson

jklencasa1 — 2011-03-18 23:55:04Z

Well. . . some of it is right but not all of it. Wendell Anton Ekstrom came from Sweden. His parents settled in Lakewood, CO. He married Marie Agnes Devinny. They had three children: George Fredolph (died age 10 of scarlet fever) LaVerne Catherine married Wm. Bennett, 2 children;
Mary Frances married Robert Carothers, 3 children. I am gd of Anton and Marie.

Henning B. Ekstrom - Minnesota

kouzzie55 — 2011-01-05 04:41:34Z

Looking for information on Henning B. Ekstrom, he was born around 1914 and lived in or around Cotton, Minnesota. He married my 1st cousin 1x removed – Frances (Fanny) S. Nordberg in the 1930’s. She was born in 1913 in Finland and died in 1995 in Cotton, Minnesota. They may have lived in Duluth, Minnesota for a period of time. I believe I have relatives who still live in Northern Minnesota. Sound familiar to anyone? Comment here or email me privately at pattitolo@yahoo.com.

Adolph F. Ekstrom

ekstrom7544 — 2010-11-13 19:51:11Z

Adolph was the brother of Johan Oscar Ekstrom Nilsson. They were both born in Sweden. Johan-was my grandfather. Both sons changed their name to Ekstrom They lived and worked in Illinois for a time.
Adolph married an Amelia (Emilia) in 1890. Their children were born in Bertrand, Nebraska. Anton Wendell (Wendell Anton), Emmett, Conrad, and Esther. They moved to Arapahoe,Colorado, and lived in Denver. I believe Adolph was still alive in 1937-but I cannot find out any information on his death or that of his wife.

Ekstrom migration to US

anettka — 2009-09-01 17:23:42Z

Several brothers and sisters immigrated to US starting in the 1880's from Sävar Västerbotten Län. Their names were Maria, Eric, Oscar, Abel, Klara, Leonard. One brother, Johann, went to Quebec. Their father was Karl Jacob Erickson, but he used the surname Ekstrom, which they all used. I know Marie married Otto Holmgren in Chicago; Abel married Selma Hubinette. Both lived in Joliet, IL. Marie and her family went to Oscceola Co, MI for awhile before returning to Joliet. Eric returned to Sweden before 1890.

They had three newphews, Eric, Karl, and Magnus, sons of a brother who never immigrated. Sons used surname Carlson and variations; they immigrated 1905-1906, with 2 going to Joliet. Not much more known of them.

I am looking for information on any and all these families. Am willing to share information I do have.

race car driver

erick233 — 2009-02-07 18:54:46Z

Hi I am asking for a census lookup and anything else that can be done to find information on my father who became a butcher in Sweden or Denmark and then a race car driver. Between 1893 I think and 1916 or 1910.
Can you help me wth Census or the police signout of Sweden or whatever.

he was a racer car driver, probably in Denmark, Sweden, Germany and France, and may be also in Great Britain. In Germany he should have been sponsored by a steam ship compagny. Once he won a race, in his last race The co-driver or engineer was killed, and Gustaf himself was hurt, Maybe that made him finish racing, and it was maybe shortly afterwards, that he went to the USA.

This is my fathers detailed info.
Andreas Gustav Emanuel Olofsson born 8/27/1878 in Markaryd Goparish, County G Smoland, Kronoberg Lan, Sweden
My father used these names in USA:

John Samuel Ekstrom (Johannson?) or Mary Ophelia Asplund

HeidiGrrrl — 2007-02-22 16:17:02Z

I am beginning research on my father's side of the family now that my mother's side is nearly complete. I can only go as far back as my great-grandparents, as nobody is left alive that can tell me anything.

John Samuel Ekstrom (Johannson?-he changed his surname en route to the United States) is my paternal great-grandfather. He was born in Småland, Sweden May 1, 1859. He emigrated to the US in about 1879, and settled in Minnesota.

He married Mary Ophelia Asplund, who was born in Quincy, Massachusetts on January 21, 1875.

They had 5 children: Arthur, Verna (my paternal grandmother), May and Roy (twins), and Herbert.

Mary died May 28, 1934, and John died November 17, 1947. They are buried in Union Cemetery, White Bear Lake, Minnesota.

Also in that cemetery is a large Asplund plot. I need to make a trip there to record the names, but as it is currently winter, it is difficult. The Asplund family had a farm in Hugo, Minnesota (a suburb of St. Paul), and as far as I know, it is still in the family as a cousin of mine had been living on it.

If anyone is researching the same family/families, I would love to share information!

Johanna Ekström

birnil — 2006-09-29 07:28:13Z

I'm looking for my ancestor Johanna Andersdotter Ekstrom born 1803 in Nor, Varmalnd, Sweden.
She married Lars Larsson born 1803 in Hol, Vastegotland, Sweden.
They and their daughter Lotta born 1841 in Siene, Vastegotland, Sweden emigrated in 1863.
I've found them in Census 1870 in Benson, Chippewa ct, Minnesota. They are not there in Census 1880. Maybe Johanna and Lars died in the 70's and Lotta married and got another surname.

There was also the son Sven Larsson born in 1837 in Hol, Vastergotland, Sweden. He emigrated in 1862 but I can't find him in Census 1870.

Any help to find out what happened to them will be very appreciated.

Ekstrom photo found at garage sale

There is no place written on the photo, It looks like a family photo, John and Anna look like the two oldest (parents??) We are located near Seattle, WA, and she found the book here. I would like to get the photo back to it's family - if anyone recognizes these names, please contact me at trice9@aol.com and I would be happy to mail it to you.

It also has the silver-makers markings on it, so I assume it is sterling. I would normally sell something like this for the silver content, but thought this might be a family heirloom?

Re: Ekstrom in MN & IL

2005-05-17 20:34:42Z

I believe there is some relation to individuals in your message. I am the son of Kenneth Ekstrom. He is one of 5 children from Mable and George Albert Ekstrom. They were Helen, Loretta, Carl, Robert and Kenneth. I had always heard that Mable was a Peterson and that she was adopted. (?) The family histroy was never very accurate. I believe that George's parents were Gustav Olaf and Doris who were born in Sweden and came over to the states at some point. Mable and George met during their jobs. He was a Butcher, she was a baker. They lived in Chicago until they passed on.
I don' t know if any of this info matches your familiy history. Please let me know.
