Would like to find anything we can on this family.
 
Our first couple had some children in Sweden, and with their family moved to Galesburg, Knox County, Illinois, USA in either 1868 or 1869.  Their american names were Charles W. and Caroline SWANSON.
 
In Sweden, before they immigrated, Charles & Caroline were known as:
Karl SWENSON b. 21 Jul 1837 in Sweden
married in Sweden on 7 Oct 1858 to
Anna Carolina Matilda JOHNSON ANDERSON
b. 9 May 1837 Yarson county, Kalmar Ian, Sweden
 
her Parents:
Johannes ANDERSON b. 5 Jan 1803
from Gardeum
Anna Lena SIMONSTDOTTER b. 16 Jan 1807
from Garderum then into Parish of Osterby Agorin about 1834.
Another daughter of this couple was  
Alena Lotta ANDERSON b. 5 Aug 1831
 
Please forgive misspellings ... and thank you very much for any help you can give on this family!

Hello Mary,
 
In the database of PLF I found some interesting informations for you.
 
Carl was born 1837, July 21 in Vilebo, Kättilstad parish, Kinda rural district, Östergötlands län.
His parents was Sven Peter Asp and Brita Kristina Petersdotter.
 
Whem he married with Anna Carolina Johannisdotter, 1858, Oct. 7, he wrote his name as Carl Asp, hes fathers familyname, as you can see above. They married in Hattorp, Gärdserum, Åtvidabergs rural district, Östergötlands län.
 
Look at those site PLF or my homesite in Swedish PLF-menyn
