I found the following in some Lönneberga Parish, Kalmar, Småland, Sweden records I was reviewing:
Måns Svensson born 1 Jan 1776 (Pelarne Parish)
Catharina Samuelsdotter born 8 Nov 1785 (Vimmerby Parish)
Married 19 Nov 1806 Lönneberga
Children: All are listed as born in Lidhult, Lönneberga Parish
Maja Lisa Månsdotter b 4 Dec 1807 (Moved/left for Pelarne 1822)
Anna Stina Månsdotter b 7 Apr 1810
Samuel Månsson b 20 Nov 1812
Anders Månsson b 28 Apr 1815
Johan Månsson b 28 Feb 1818
Gustaf Månsson b 25 Nov 1820
Carolina Månsdotter b 25 Nov 1823
August Månsson b 12 Jul 1827
These are of course the Swedish names, and in the United States they may have been called Manson or Munson. I believe Carolina Munson, which is what she called herself, lived in Chariton, Davis, Iowa from about 1857 until she died in 1907. I believe Carolina emigrated in 1852 but I do not know
about the other members of her family. Can anyone tell me if any of these family members emigrated to the United
States, and when. Thank you for your help.
