Research Notes
Birth Name:
Being Swedish and an immigrant I expect that he may have had a patronymic and non-patronymic surname which have not been located. SWEDISH G2G needed.
BIRTH: Sweden Birth/Baptismal record is needed and will most likely need to be translated into English. Parents need to be identified as does his accurate date and location of birth.
DEATH: His Illinois Death Record is needed to substantiate, date and location.
Swedish parents have yet to be identified. They need Sweden BMD records and profiles.

His Swedish Birth/Baptismal record is needed to substantiate not only an accurate date and location of his birth, but his parentage with their BMD dates and any additional Swedish sources that might allow expansion of this ancestral branch. Can someone help with locating these Swedish Records?
