Lars, I have found his birth and ancestors but have not found anything on descendants. Do you know if he immigrated to another country? Some of my husband's ancestors are from Sweden and when the immigrated they took on another name. Makes is very confusing. Do you know of any descendants?
Hope I can be of help, just need a bit more information.
Thanks for using FamilySearch!

Hi Carol.
Thanks for your effort.
We know his whole family here in Sweden, but from New Zealand we have not found much.
He was born 18 Feb 1890 in Strömstad, Sweden. He was the youngest of 9 children of Anders Andersson and his wife Fredrika Bovall. My wife is a descendant of his oldest brother Gallus. He worked as a seeman. He married Helen Irene Futter 17 Apr 1924 in New Zealand. She died 1968 at age 68 and he died 2 June 1961, both in New Zealand. We have not found any descendants.

His naturalisation record is found at Ancestry.com.
Somay Eugene Bernadotte Oscar Anderson
in the New Zealand, Naturalisations, 1843-1981
Finding where he was buried might help locate an obituary which might mention children. The next record to look for would be electoral rolls. These are found on Ancestry also and he is listed there as Semmy Eugene Oscar Bernadotte. You will need to look through several years and see which other Andersons are living at the same address. I am in New Zealand so please let me know if there is anything else I can help with.

Just found the cemetery record. They were both cremated. You can find this by doing a cemetery search at https://wellington.govt.nz/services/community-and-culture/cemeteries

Just looked in New Zealand birth, death and marriage records (bdmhistoricalrecords.dia.govt.nz) and found their marriage in 1924 (17 April 1924) and their deaths (Sammy, 1961 at age 71 and Helen Irene in 1968 at age 68) but there is no record of a birth for any children born in New Zealand from 1924 to 1970 with mother Helen Anderson or Helen Irene Anderson or Helen Futter. They may not have had any children, or so it seems. You might try looking in New Zealand newspapers, look in paperspast for Helen's Obituary--see where she died from her cemetery record. Good luck,.

New Zealand BDM indexes only show births over 100 years ago unless they were stillborn.
