Can someone check Nykarleby birth records for years 1882-1886 for a Valdemar who
was supposed to have been born between those years to Herman Mattsson
Storgård, 1862-1917, and Susanna Johansdotter Långholm, 1862-1922.
My data shows the couple had 9 children, two of whom were sons born in
Nykarleby. Family members insist there was a son Valdemar who was born
between the first child Johan, b. 1882, and Paul, b. 1886. Valdemar
supposedly died in 1899 in Buttersville, MI at age 16. Family members
say that John and Valdemar traveled together to the US ca 1894. The
family used the surname Matson in the US.
Thanks.
June
