Lake Park - Becker county

[Leif Mörkfors]

Lake Park in Minnesota was the goal for Karin Matsdotter born 1811 in Venjans parish. She emigrated from Venjan 1881-05-10. Do anybody know how to find her in US ? When did she die ? Where and with whom did she live ?

I was raised in the Lake Park, Minnesota area.  Nearly everyone had their names changed when then came to the US.  My wife's mor far was Vestsberg's Per Nilsson from Äppelbo, and he became Peter Westberg.  In 1881 Swedish families would have belonged to the Eksjo Parish.  Do have a complete birthdate - I have found this to be the best information for connecting people.
