Research notes
Dead Ancestry-links has notes on him emigrating to the US in 1869, but he lived and died in Näshult according to the household examination books. Probable hint mix up error.
There's also a mix up regarding the children. Oskar Anders Fredrik's name and birth does not correspond with the sources. Gustaf E Carlsson is not their child, and John Wikfors can't be as he is born in 1892 in the US. See notes on Oskar Anders profile regarding name and date of birth. I believe this is Anders Fredrik, son of Carl.
