Notes:

The spelling of her middle name is as she spelled it in her handwritten signature on her citizenship papers.

Ray says, “Ida, her two sons Karl Johan Edvin and Olof Artur, and sister Anna Matilda emigrated from Liverpool on the steamship "Bavarian" on Feb. 27, 1904, arriving in Halifax on March 28, 1904. Ida's son Edvin had Polio and with sister Anna's seasickness, and Edwin's quarantine on arrival, the journey was ardous.”

She was naturalized as a citizen of the U.S. on 7 Nov 1939 in Everett, Snohomish County, Washington. At that time. she and her husband and their family lived in Alderwood Manor, Washington. They had come to the U.S. from Broadview, Saskatchewan, Canada, in July of 1930.

In the 1940 census, Olaf, Ida, and three of their sons (Hans, Nels, and Paul) lived at 1421 West 61st in Seattle in a house that they owned worth $2000. Olaf was a laborer in a lumber mill. Five years earlier, the family had lived in rural Snohomish County. Olaf and Ida had 4th grade educations, Nels had an eighth grade education, Paul and Hans were educated through the sixth grade.

Notes:

She is the Anna Carlsson who was in Winnipeg on 27 June 1907 when she wrote a letter to Margareta Danielsson. She signed it “your brother’s daughter.” She implies that it had been “over three years” since she left Sweden. In that 1907 letter she says that she is working for a family on a farm for 15 dollars a month. She says it had been over two years since she had seen “Ida and Olle” (her sister and brother-in-law) and that the ticket to go see them cost 20 dollars round-trip.

Some, perhaps none, of the following relate to this Anna:

In a 1913 record of crossings from Canada to the U.S., a 25 year-old Anna Carlson, a domestic born in Sweden, of 252 Highway or Kingway in Winnipeg, has her final destination in Minneapolis. Her nearest relative in Sweden is her father, Carl John Swanson of Asarum, Sweden.

There is a 29 year-old Anna Carlson who is a domestic living in Winnipeg in the 1916 census. However, that Anna is shown to have come to Canada in 1911.

In the 1921 Canadian census, there is an Anna A Carlson, a domestic in Winnipeg who works at and/or lives at the Tuxedo Hospital. She is shown to have come to Canada in 1904.

In a 1928 record of Aliens pre-examined in Canada, for Winnipeg, January 24, 1926 or 1928, there is an Anna Amalie Carlson, age 41, a domestic living in Winnipeg and born in Jamtland, going to visit her niece, Onedra Gr?ty in Fontana, California. That Anna is single and lives at 234 Oxford in Winnipeg. The name and address of her nearest relative or friend in the country from which she came is her sister, Mrs. Andrew Gr?ty of Oak Bluff, Manitoba. This Anna was in Seattle from 1912 to 1915. She is 5 feet tall, of fair complexion, with brown hair and blue eyes.

A Miss Anna Carlson, “retired”, lived on McMillan Avenue in Winnipeg in the 1962 Canada Voters List.
