Seeking my Eliasson/Ellison ancestor
(Posting on a patron's behalf)
My ancestor, Anders/William Ellison, was born 1867 in Sweden (unknown parish) and supposedly immigrated to the U.S. in 1884, according to the 1900 U.S. Census, and lived in Barnes Co., ND, and possibly died before 1910. He was married on 11 Jan 1896 in Afton, Washington Co., MN, to Anna Olsdotter (Olson), born 24 Oct. 1864 in Blentarp (Malm.), who immigrated in 1895. The minister who performed the marriage was John A. Wagner at the Swedish Methodist Episcopal Church in Afton. A son, Avis Ragnar Elliason, was born 4 May 1904 in Litchville, Barnes Co., ND. The father is called William Elliason on the birth certificate, but Anders Eliason on the baptismal certificate. No later information on Anders/William has been found. It has been suggested that Anders/William Eliasson, born 6 Sep. in 1867 in Östra Strö (Malm.) (Östra Strö [M]) CI:4 [1861-1894] Image 22) should be the lost person, but he never immigrated, but joined the Swedish Army with the soldier’s name of Ståhl, and died on 25 May 1937 in Västra Sönnarslöv, Krist.). Any help with this elusive Anders/William Ellison, will be much appreciated! Alice I. Noble, e-mail: danoble10@att.net
