Johan Arvid Berglund was born on 4 May 1880 in Viksjö,
Västernorrland, Sweden to Per Olof Berglund and Anna Johanna
Persdotter.
He emigrated to the U.S. in 1899. He left in March of 1899 and arrived
in Quebec in May aboard the S.S. Numidian. According to the ship
manifest, he was traveling to join Erik J Tetting in Pomona, California.
Also traveling with him were:
Erik Westin
Anna Tetting, his wife
their children; Johan, Karl, Anna, Hulda, Anders, Edvard
Fredrick Helmer Åhlin
Johan Lundblom
Lars Åhlin
Hans Molander
He was living in Brunswick Twp, Kanabec Co, MN in 1900 working as
a farmhand for his uncle & aunt Per & Maria Sellstedt.
I believe this is the same Johan
Westin that emigrated with Johan
Arvid in 1899. He was born in 1881
and came with his parents, Erik
Westin and Anna (Tetting).
