    Notes 
    • In the födelsbok, only her mother’s name is given, no father.

      Probably not the daughter of Salomon. Called Josefina Carolina Albertine in the 1861-1866 Torup Household Examination (p. 95).

      Emigrated May 16, 1881, according to Jan Webb. The portion of the family leaving Sweden at that time were Emma, Josephine, Charlie, Ida, and Hedda Sofia. Carl Oscar and Johan Alfred stayed behind in Sweden. The oldest, John, emigrated the year before.

      A Josephine Carlson married a Charles Smith in Hennepin County on 4 Jun 1883 (#00210435).

      From the Emibas CD:

      Lundberg, Josefina Karolina
      Dotter (unmarried woman)

      b. 7/11/1865 in Torup, Hallands län (Halland)

      Emigrated 5/16/1881
      from Berghem Westregård, Kånna, Kronobergs län (Småland)
      to Nordamerika

      A Josephin Carlson, age 16 (b. ca 1865 in Sweden), spinster, arrived in New York aboard the City of Berlin on 5 Sep 1881. That is the best match for Josephi* or Josef* arriving from Sweden in 1881.

      A Josefina C Carlsson, b. 1865, kvinna, from Stamnared Halland län, destination “Lemont”, is in the Swedish emigration records (EmiHamn) as departing from Göteborg on 19 August 1881. The handwriting on the original manifest, for the Romeo bound for Hull, is not clear so “Stamnared” and “Lemont” are best guesses but probably not correct. (The Gothenburg index interprets birth place as “Stainnand.”) Halland is quite clear, however.

      From Jan’s research, this is probably the record of Josephine’s death:
