Hannah Olsen had a brother who came to America after her and settle in the Green Bay Wisconsin area. That is all I know of him. This infomation came from notes from my grandmother in 1984. She did not list her sources but most of her information has proven to be true. Her notes also states that their parents were fisherman in Sweden along with the entire family. There was a fishing accident that left their father without his legs and took their mothers life.[1]
Johan Alfred was born a twin with Gustava in August 1853. His twin sister saw the light of day 4 Aug and Johan Alfred 5 Aug. Their parents were the seaman Olof Johansson and his wife Inger Helena Henricsdotter.[2]
His mother died from a cold in January 1860. His sister, Albertina, drowned in December 1863. (This may be the fishing accident).
In October 1863 Johan Alfred was fostered out to a family on Pinnö island.[3][4]
Johan Alfred Olsson was registered on Pindö until 1878, when he was transferred to the list of absentees, with a note that he was living in Norway and had married there.[5]
