Emil Andersson's page 

This page tells a bit about what happened to Emil after he had left for America and also about his descendants there.
 
Emil left Sweden in 1899 with the ship Campania

He arrived in  New York Nov 25th 1899. He settled down, first in Calumet, Houghton, Michigan, where he lived with his wife Anna Ohrström (it says Ohrstrom in
 but Öhrström is the Swedish original) , they got married  in 1906.
 They had the children Mabel b. 1906, Elsie b.1908, Ruby b. 1918. The first 3 children were born in Michigan, Ruby was born in Duluth, St Louis, Minnesota
and  that is where they stayed. The son Harold was born in 1925.
In the census of 1910, Carl is noted as "copper miner". In 1920 he is noted as "janitor at a public school". At this point in time, Anna's father Gustaf Ohrstrom and
her brother Gustaf S Ohrstrom  lived with them. Gustaf Ohistrom sr had left Sweden but his children were born in the USA.
Emil's sister Karolina/Lina also went to the USA in 1903 and went to Emil in Michigan. She was called Lena (which is no wonder,since the Swedish pronunciation
of the  Lina would sound as Lena in English). Lena died in 1944.
Anna died in 1949 and Emil later married Helen Sundberg.
 Emil was very religious and active in his Lutheran church.  He  was secretary for the men's society in church.
