Hello, this is a long shot (my last try i guess to find out, no one in my family wants to research this person)
Scroll down if you dont want the backstory.
My father's father's mother (grandfather's mother?)
Jenny Olivia Danielsson (1898 - 1993) gave birth to my grandfather when she was only sixteen and werent married, as you might know Sweden where back then a very christian country and the comunity didnt take this lightly when a bastard son where born.
the man who impregnate her werent man enough and took off, leaving Jenny alone in the northern parts of Sweden (Jämtland county) to take care of here self and her son. She made her own Shotgun amunnition (wolf pellets, buckshots?) and hunted wolves for their skin to sell. Later on she married another and it all worked out.
this man who fled from his responsibility went to USA, and this is why im writing.
Backstory ends
Info about this man:
First Name: Axel
Surename: Jonsson (EN: Johnson?)
Born: Somewhere about Jennys age so 1885 - 1898 prehaps
Born: Sweden, Jämtland (dont know the town)
Fleed to the USA: Chicago
Workmanship Carpenter
ethnicity White
marital Single
Children "None"
Other info I know that my grandpa Walter had to go to Stockholm to the american embassy to recive his heritage (so im pretty sure he didnt had any children in the US) but one thing that amazed me is did he write a will on his dying breath? how could the embassy know that he was the father of Walter?
the only info I have on Axel might not be accurate, but the city and Workmanship seems to be right.
If so, here is the info I got but I cant verify it:

Birtht: Sweden

Place of death: Chicago, Cook, Illinois
Funeral date: 19 Mar 1946

Workmanship: Carpenter

Fathers name: John Johnson
Fathers place of birth: Sweden
Mothers name: Albertina Akholm
Mothers place of birth: Sweden
FHL-filmnumber: 1985096
I can find info on all my other relatives who went to the US (what boat, port, what house and so forth but nothing on this man due to the lack of info from my side, but they all went through New york, dont know about this guy, didnt find anything)
/kind regards
