Swedish Ancestors
Emigration from Sweden played a significant part of the Lindgren Story in America and Central Iowa. Many parts of the Lindgren Story are told on these pages. The Back Stories by Jonathon Coss is a good place to start. His sister, Linnae, has used many sources to compile a wonderful collection of tables that depict both the breadth and depth of our genealogy.
John and Frank were brothers and sons of Peter Gustav Magnuson and Ingrid Jonnsdotter. Peter and Ingrid raised six children in a tiny town in the Smaland province of Sweden. Four of the six emigrated to America and settled in Central Iowa South of Ft. Dodge in Green and Webster Counties.
