Anders worked as a farmer at Kättestorp farm, Kisa, Östergötland, Sweden.

He was married to Alfrida Brogren

Together they had five children

• Sigrid Elisabeth Andersson 1900–1912
• Ingeborg Constantia Andersson1902–1912
• Ebba Iris Alfrida Andersson1905–1912
• Sigvard Harald Elias Andersson 1907–1912
• Ellis Anna Maria Andersson1910–1912

They were quite well off but still decided to emigrate. Tempted to America by Ernst Danbom who was married to Alfrida's sister Anna. Anders and Alfrida were travelling from Kättestorp to the home of Anna's sister Mrs Andrew Zakrisson, Hartcourt St., Sturgeon creek, Saint James, Winnipeg, Canada. Other sources give the address as Stanton, Iowa so it is likely that they were going to stay with the Danbom family for a time.

The Andersson and Danbom families were accompanied by Anna Nysten from Farsbo farm outside Kisa. She was the only survivor of the company. Anders' body was never found.

Mansion House Fund paid 875:52 Kr (£48) to mother, 912 (£50) to seven siblings. 456:50 Kr damage claims paid to mother 25 August 1914.
