Other Events and Attributes:

• Baptism: 22 Aug 1819, Rättvik, Dalarnas län, Sweden

Notes:

Greg Loftness’s family tree on Ancestry calls him “Mårs Erick Erickson,” born on or in Mårs in Rättvik.

Presumably, he is the Erik Eriksson listed above, and on the same page as, Daniel and Brita in the 1878-1887 Household Examination. His wife is shown as Brita Hansdotter and they have a daughter, Anna, b. 1851, living with them.

In the 1868-1877 Household Examination he and his family are listed at 274/2, Wikarbyn No. 46.

The 1878-1887 Household Examination (Rättvik, 276/2, Wikarbyn) says that Erik left for North Amerika on 21 Apr 1886, out-migration record number 24. Presumably Erik left with his wife. The last entry in the household examination is in the 1886 column.

In the Out-Migration book in the Rättvik church records, he and his wife are entry 24 for the year 1886. The are shown as leaving Wikarbyn for Minnesota in N. Amerika on 21 Apr 1886. Leaving with them are his son Hans Ersson, b. 10 Mar 1849 and Hans’s wife Kerstin Olsdotter, b. 8 Jun 1850.

The Minnesota state census of 1895 appears to have him and his wife living in Wyanett in Isanti County.

A different Erik Erickson died in Iowa 1912. His probated will in Franklin County refers to his sons Carl and Emil as his heirs.
