Johnson /Wennberg/ Vanberg, Gustaf - Sweden to U.S.

[Marilyn Van Berg]

I hope to find info about grandfather - Naturilization 1st papers Oct. 1876 and census' in Redwing MN. indicate Gustaf Johnson was born May 16, 1853 (one record says 1855) His death cert. states his father was Johan Johnson and mother __(looks like Kim ?)Anderson. I can find nothing that names where he came from. His marriage papers say Gustaf Wennberg Johnson (to Ida Kajsa Swanson) (Goodhue Co. MN)and there is a name change in his naturalization records from Gustaf Wennberg Johnson (name used in 1880 census) to Gustaf Vanberg, name used until he died in 1941.  Is there a record from Sweden that would show when he left Sweden in 1876, or where he came from ?

I can?t say if it's the right Johan Wennberg but it's a man named that about 1850 in the city of Vänersborg, Västergötland.  
God luck!

If he wrote his naturilization papers in 1876, I guess he must have left Sweden several years earlier. I think it was a 3-7 year time limit before applying was possible.
