Lars Johnson and Hannah Pearson came to the US from Sweden after 1880 and before 1890 with their children. I do not know when came to the USA or how they met. I believe Lars Johnson came from Malmo, Sweden, and Hannah Pearson came from Akby, Sweden (I know there are many places named Akby). They lived in McKeesport, Pennsylvania. The names I am using were Americanized at some point. I do not know the exact names in Sweden, although it is likely that Johnson was Johansson and Pearson was persson. Bothilda Nelson married Martin Johnson in 1886. I believe she came from Malmo, Sweden. Her name was likely Nilsson originally.
