See his father's research notes:


1. Emigration and other

images, 266 and 352
- Johan Aron Halstensson [Andersson] left Östmark in the latter part of Dec 1892. His brother, John Anderson [Jon Mons] left in 1893

Östmark (S) AI:30 (1891-1895) Page 478, Ulfsjön (AID: v9155.b488.s478)
Hallsten and wife
Jon Andersson, b 1865 goes someplace else in 1892 but I can't make the place out - but later he moved onto America
Johan Aron, b 1872 to N America, 30 Dec 1892 - Johan Aron is listed in the moving out records (BI:3, image 64, no 129], with name as Johan Aron Hallstensson. I'm not sure if he travelled with her brother

- came to Sheyenne area, since "some of their relatives" were here - Olof Halstensson (b 1838) and Johan A Andersson were 2nd cousins once removed [there may be others, but I haven't researched for others]
- records lands etc (see point 2)
- married to Emelia Erickson in 1900 at Kaota [?; likey Cokato MN: But this is NOT Correct]. There is no record of a marriage in Stockholm Lutheran Church records in MN; no records of marriages in Cokato; nothing on MOMS - MN marriage system
- apparently he returned to Sweden in 1899 and encouraged others to immigrate ** see FT note below
- Emilia had also applied to homestead land north of John Hedman's in Benson Co (south of the river and not reservation land)
- Emilia or Emelia died in 1905 [findagrave id, 135009724]
- Three children:
Ernest G born about 1902
Jennie E born about 1904 [image 460 page 457]
Morris M b about 1905 [ but also known as Maurtiz]

Children of Johan A Anderson and Emelia, from images 225 and 460

- records that Johan Aaron died 16 Feb 1962 at Rockford Twp, Eddy Co [has basic info on Anders Jonson b 1827- but then nothing on his ancestors and then Kari Olofsdotter - link to her emigration - NY passenger list and on this same page, at the top is John Anderson, age 28 returning home to Sheyenne ND; and on line 22 of this page, Emilie Erikson, age 28, nativity=born, Sweden, heading to Sheyenne]

Findagrave, id for Emilie Erickson (married name of Anderson), 135009724; notes her birth as 1872
and then for Johan - but they are not linked together

There is one Family Tree on Ancestry - but it is "private" - Personal Member Tree - and thus I can't access

2. BLO GLO records: John Anderson - there are a number of possibilities for the parcel of land - Eddy Co
- the above book records that Jon Anderson homesteaded on the present day Ralph Anderson farm; later sold it and bought John Hedman's tree claim [on section 1]
- and that brother John M homesteaded "just west" of John Hedman's tree claim - this was on section 1 of twp 150N

  Noted events in his life were:

1. Emrigration - 1892, 16 Dec 1892, Östmark, Värmland län, Sweden. ^8929,8930 Johan Aron Hallstensson is recorded as leaving Östmark parish on 16 Dec 1892. It is not clear when he arrived in North America. I am not certain, but it is likely he didn't sail in the winter months, but it's possible. John Aron likely travelled with his brother, Jon Mons, but I haven't found any record of him.

Johan married Emilia Eriksdotter on 10 Jul 1900 in Lakota, Nelson Co, North Dakota, United States ⁸⁹²⁵.^,8926 (Emilia Eriksdotter was born on 6 Jun 1872 in Lekvattnet, Värmland län, Sweden, died in 1905 in Eddy Co, North Dakota, United States and was buried in Riverside Cemetery, Sheyenne, Eddy Co, North Dakato, Unites States.)
