Trying to locate where in Sweden my ancestors came from and when and what ship they arrive in the U. S. On the 1870 census of Sugar Grove, Pa Henry Ober (the G is not list) is 77 years old and list as being at home. Augustus, 48, is a farmer; Carolina (sic) is 50 and keeping house;
Christina, my great grandmother is 21 and married to John Lawson. Hulda is 14 and at school. Since all were listed as being born in Sweden, I presume they immigrated after 1856. Most Swedes in the area were from Smaland. My surname comes from Hassleby,
Smaland. Lawson were from Pelarne and Lonnberga, Kalmar, Smaland. Can anyone help me?
