Nils Alfred Johnson

  Research Notes:

NOTE: his father is Not named in the Östmark parish birth Records nor in the Household records.
But it appears that most records in the US, his surname is recorded as "Johnson". It is not clear if this is related to John or Jon Asp married to his mother Karolina Nilsdotter / Svenson. Was the person in the US known as John Asp Nels Alfred's father? At this point, I don't know, since the surname could relation to to his natural father who would have a given name of Jon, Jöns, Johan, or even possbily Johannes.
