His parents were Carl Andersons. The house is still present (300 Years old) on the property when Cousin Herb Carlson visited in the early 90’s. In a farm community called Heda or Hula, near Vadstena where Bengt and Asts Radefeldt live, and brother Nils, and Onny and sister Berta and Harry Karlstrom. (Vera’s 1st cousin) Bengst and Asta speak no English, are Catholic. Berta does speak Eng., and also Harry.
Heda church (a farm community, not a town) is where Grandpa Albin was confirmed, and where the Johnson Farmstead is. The graves are unmarked of Albins parents, Carl Andersons.
As was the custom a “son” was added to his fathers first name, hence Albin became Carl..son.
