Waldenstroms, Mattsons, Fredins, Janssons

[Clement Williams]

I would very much appreciate any information about any of these people. Andrew Waldenstrom b: in Sweden married Karin Mattson. They had a daughter named Anna Karin Waldenstrom born March 29, 1855 in Sweden. It is said in family circles that Andrew and Karin were teachers in Sweden. It is also said that they may have been associated with the Baptist movement in Sweden. Andrew Waldenstrom died in 1875 in Sweden. Anna and Karin Waldenstrom came to America in 1880 and settled in Duluth Minnesota. Karin Waldenstrom went by Carrie Mattson most of the time after she came to America. Anna married John Fredrick Fredin in 1881 in Duluth Mn. John Fredrick Fredin came to America in 1880. It is said he may have changed his name upon arrival in America. He may have went by Jan Jansson in Sweden. He was born March 07, 1854 in Bangbro Sweden. John F. Fredin was a very prominent Builder in Duluth. Andrew and Karin (Mattson) Waldenstrom are my ggrandparents. John Fredrick Fredin and Anna (Waldenstrom) Fredin are my grand parents. I would greatly appreciate any information about any of these people and or any information about the family lines they may have come from.
Than You
