Kindstrom Surname

[bob]

Louisa Kindstrom is my great-grandmother.  Her Swedish name is Lovisa Carolina Kindstrom and she was born 16 Nov 1851 in Torpa Parish, Alvsborg County, Sweden.  She emigrated to America on 22 Sep 1881 at the age of 27 years old from Goteborg, Sweden to the American port of Boston, MA.  Her father's name was Lars Johan Kindstrom and her mother's name was Cajsa Andersdotter, which translates to Katherine Anderson in English.  This is all that I know about Louisa and her family.  I would appreciate any assistance that I can receive from anyone about Louisa and her family.  I am willing to assist others with information that I possess.  Thank you.

in a related post on the husband of Josefina Katrina () you give her death date to be 5 Aug 1935 in Iowa.  
 
If you know the death dates of the others, possible Kindström researchers may benefit if you would share that information here (death date and place/county they settled in - did all siblings end up in Iowa?).
 
regards,
Eva

In the cd Emigranten 2001, for the two brothers emigrating in 1880 one has destination New York, the other Anamata (no state given) and when the others emigrate in 1882 the have destination Anamosa (no state given).
 
Do you have any clue to what that may be?
 
That cd contains the information given on the ticket/contract shown at the port at the time of departure.
 
regards,
Eva

Eivor Canova has looked further on the Kindström family and she has asked me to post the information she has found here.  
 
Lars Johan Kindström was not born in Seglora but in Kinnarumma (a parish close by), it's in Älvsborg county.
 
According to Kinnarumma birth book (C:2, GID 776.3.4600, p. 406) he was born a twin (over midnight)
1813-10-13 Carl Johan
1813-10-14 Lars Johan  
father the inn-keeper and merchant (?) Hans Kindström and mother Catharina Larsdotter, Björkered, Kinnarumma
 
Lars Johan and his family appears at page 86 of the clerical surveys from Kinnarumma volume AI:2.
 
regards,
Eva
