I'm looking for information on my 2nd great grandfather, Johan Persson b. June 24, 1850 in Norrbarke, Kopparberg. He married Anna Cajsa Danielsdotter on November, 23, 1872 in Silvberg, Kopparberg. They had 3 children together:

1. Anna Matilda Johansdotter/Jansdotter (my ggrandmother)
b. March 2, 1873 in Brafall, Silvberg, Kopparberg

2. Per Johan Johansson/Jansson
b. March 6, 1874 in Silvberg, Kopparberg

3. Carl Gustaf Johansson/Jansson
b. March 28, 1876 in Ludvika, Kopparberg

Johan Persson "ran away" according to his parish record. He ended up in Minnesota with another woman, never married her. He was a stow away on a ship.

I don't know who each story belongs to but one of the boys drowned as a young child and one of the boys went to Siberia. He wrote to his family in Sweden and said he would be home soon but they never heard from or saw him again. Family belived he was killed by Russians.

There is also a family story that says one of the two boys had twin daughters in Sweden.

Please if anyone has any information on this family please let me know.
Thank you,
Delayne
