I am stumped. searching for Swan Swanson b. 1864 and Karin (Carrie) Salmonson b. 1868 families in Lillgardal, Sweden

both of these folks ended up in a Black Hawk, SD lumber camp in the Black Hills of South Dakota, America.

they married each other in 1891 had a family and spent the rest of their lives in South Dakota.
What families do they belong to in Lillhardal Harjedalen municipality, Jamtland County, Sweden and why did they leave Sweden for America?

any siblings left behind?

I have identified them as:
Sven Svensson born March 24, 1864 in Kyrkbyn, Lillhärdal. Emigrated 1887.
Karin Salmonsdotter born June 8, 1868 in Sunnanå 19, Lillhärdal. Emigrated 1888.

I will add their families to your tree branch later (some church book research needed).

I found they already were on Geni so I merged them.
(they were not noted as matches because of different spelling.)

thank you! Yes, I put them on so I might get some better info. THANK YOU!!!!!
still want to know about their people.

late last night I found a Brother to Sven (Swan) in 1900 US census in Veblin SD. looks like he emigrated at age 11??? a real puzzle. I was told that on emigration papers, people write their own name (which would be correct spelling) and on census, others write it and often mis interrupt the spelling, since it is often wrong. I appreciate your help! stay safe.
