Carl Fredrik was born in Godegård parish 5 October 1836 to unwed Johanna Lovisa Jansdotter in Österö and an undisclosed father.[1]
Carl Fredrik's mother married the crofter Jan Jacob Jansson in 1847. The fact that Carl Fredrik used Gustafsson as a last name is a clue that his biological father was named Gustaf - at this time Swedish "surnames" were patronymics. Carl Fredric Gustafsson married Augusta Carolina Jonsdotter 20 December 1861.[2]
Married 1861; Emigration: April 3, 1887, Sweden to USA
