Gustafson/Smith Families
I am looking for information on Otto Gustafson and his sister Helena Gustafson Smith.Both are buried in the Swaberg Elim Lutheran Cemetery.I know when they came to Nebraska from Sweden but am looking for any information on them, their siblings and their siblings' whereabouts.
I have:
Otto and Helena came to US, Helena went back to Sweden in late 1890's to get her youngest sister after their mother's death, but then placed her sister in the Iowa Children's Home (do have more specifics on this home), their sister was Amelia/Emily or other various spellings.She is my great grandmother.I found that Otto died in a car accident in California but that is all I know about Otto and Helena.I believe Helena married a C. H. Smith, but unsure if this is the right Mr.Smith.
I would really like more information on this family, one brother was in Illinois at one time as well and may have gone by the surname Rosberg rather than Gustafson.
Thanks for any help or suggestions you may have on finding this family.
