Looking for Törnbom or König!

[Frida Nyqvist]

I have relatives who emigrated to America in the late 1800. They were Erika König who traveled with her husband to be Rikard Törnbom, and Erikas brother Karl Richard König. Erika was born in Julitta parich in sweden on a homestead called Kårtorp and so was her brother. Erika was born in 1874 and Karl Richard alsow known as Martin was born in 1872.Erika later moved back to sweden with her husband and two daughters but Karl never came back.
Hope someone can help me....

På Ellis Island sidan hittade jag Richard Konig, 36 år, gift med Elen (Ellen förmodligen) Konig, 26 år med dottern Gjertrud Konig, 8 månader, från Kårtorp, ankom till New York 28/6 1909. De skulle till Richards aunt Mina Johnson, 3553 svårläst gatuadress, Chicago, IL. Där stod också att Richard hade varit i Chicago åren 1902-1908. Kan inte hitta dem i Illinois Statewide Death Index, men om de hade bytt namn till Koenig, så finns det flera stycken möjliga. Kan inte hitta Richards första emigrantresa 1902 på Ellis Island.  
Du kan ju kolla Julitas födelsebok för slutet av 1908 om Gjertrud finns där.

I have been searching amercan websites and I´ve found out a lot more about my relatives. I now know that Gertrud Koenig lived in Warrenton Clatsop Oregon. She died in 1999 and her social security number was 079-03-8951. I´d like to know if she had any children and what hapened to her parents.
Can anyone help me please?

Frida, the family is still in Chicago in the Census 1930. I use the same answer as under the Swedish sections (Anbytarforum: Länder: USA: Delstater: Illinois and Anbytarforum: Länder: USA: Delstater: Oregon) regarding the census, below in Swedish, but I also did a quick search in Illinois Statewide Death Index, 1916-1950 at www2.sos.state.il.us/departments/archives/idphdeathindex.html.  
 
There are five Richard Koenig, no Ellen and one Gertrude. As we know they all lived in 1930 (see below) that rules out the Getrude and two Richard. You state his other names to be Karl and possibly Martin, that rules out Richard John, Richard L and Richard William. This leaves us with one possible match in that index, a Richard Koenig who died in 1947, age unknown (that is it's not given in the index). You can order that certificate through the instructions on the page to see if he is the right man.  
 
Enligt Census 1930 bor familjen fortfarande i Chicago, Rickard, Ellen och Gertrude. Efternamnet indexerat som Kaeing. På den skannade censusbilden står troligen Koenig.
 
Hälsningar,
