Brian - Why didn't you indicate his actual name was Oskar Fredrik Johansson?       See Reply #7

His sister Amanda Lovisa also emigrated to America.

There's a tree for him on Family Search, consisting of about 24 records. It includes the Sweden-related records, as well.

For example, here's his 1870 birth record. You need to register and log in to view the record.

Family Search is also good for US Passenger manifest records from around the turn of the century.

Brian, I know that I’ve made a few mistakes on RootsChat (not including previous related posts, asking twice for something, etc.) so I do understand about making mistakes, but FamilySearch has been suggested to you in at least one recent thread as a good resource.  I hope you realize that by me also encouraging the use of FamilySearch first, I’m only trying to save time and effort made by others who are trying to help.   

Regarding Johansson/Anderson: perhaps a search had already been conducted for Johansson and you were hoping he sailed under the Anderson name?  Or, perhaps you accidentally mixed up the names?  Either way, checking a site (by you) prior to posting your question might have caught the possible name mix up or suggested the need for a wee bit of additional information for those trying to help.

I’m sure you value and are thankful for the help provided by others.  I also am very grateful for the time and effort given by others in my numerous posts.

When visiting RootsChat, I try to keep some thoughts to myself.  But, even though I’ve not personally chatted with most of the “frequent fliers” (those who are constantly helping)  , I still feel like we are one big family.  Hence my typing fingers have taken over my politeness in refraining from making a comment.

I was curious about a couple of things and briefly looked at some of the poster’s previous threads.  A number of them seem to not have acknowledgement for help received.  It may simply be a case of the poster privately thanking those who helped (I’ve done that a couple of times).  If not, I hope there are reasons for seemingly ignoring the findings, such as being busy with family, unable to visit RootsChat on a regular basis, having other unexpected commitments, etc.

My apologies for speaking my mind.  If I’ve offended anyone, I am truly sorry.  Lisa
