Well, better late than never, right?My GG Grandfather was John Samuel Dahlgren b. 12/15/1835 in Helsingland, Sweden d. 7/14/1908 in York NE.He was married first to Clara Anderson who gave birth to Charles Gustav and John Albin.She died in 1871 in New Boston, IL.He married Anna Johnson on 8/12/1871 in New Boston, and they moved to Nebraska in 1872.He and Anna had at least 10 children, whose names I can provide if you are interested.I was told that John Samuel/Samual John was originally Adamson, Sanderson or Samuelson, but after serving in the militia in Sweden he was allowed to change his name to Dahlgren.I have no proof of that -- just family rumor.
