My 3rd great aunt, Elsa Jönsdotter, was born 15 Nov 1846 in Hosaby, Mjällby to Jöns Svensson (20 Feb 1814 to 13 Apr 1888) and Malena Jönsdotter. On 4 May 1869 she departed the parish for America. I am pretty certain that she left Göteborg on 28 May 1869 for Hull, England. Per this record she was going to Chicago. In 1870, I find an Elsie Johnson in Union Grove, Whiteside County, Illinois age 22 (implying she was born in 1848). In 1872, she married John Rhymers (Jöns Reimer from Hästveda, Skåne). They are still in Union Grove in the 1880 census and Elsie is listed as Elsa Rhymers. In that same year, my great-grandfather (Elsa Jönsdotter's aunt) arrived in America. The first location I have for him is in 1887 when he is married in a town 20 KM from Union Grove. In 1883, she moves with her family to Minnesota. I want to confirm that Elsa and Elsie/Elsa are the same person via some written record. I have seen before where the father's papers available upon his death indicate something about their children and where they are. How is this found? Can someone find the papers for Jöns Svensson and see if it says that she is in Minnesota and married to John Rhymers? Thanks.
By the way, I also believe this is true as it would explain my DNA relationship to one of Elsa's descendants.
