    Magnus Magnusson was New Tag between 1821 and 1830. He was born on 3 May 1821 at Lindås, Väse Parish, Värmland County, Sweden.1 He married Cajsa Stina Gustafsdotter on 27 July 1849 at Väse Parish, Värmland County, Sweden. He was listed as living in Lund, while Kajsa was living in Hoflanda.2 Magnus Magnusson and Cajsa Stina Gustafsdotter appeared on the church records of Hoflanda Lervik, Väse Parish, Värmland County, Sweden, between 1871 and 1875. Jan Peter leaves home in Nov 1873 followed by his brother August in Oct 1875. They still live within the parish. Johan returns home 4 Nov 1873 but leaves again in 1875.3 Magnus Magnusson immigrated on 26 May 1882 to Varna, Marshall County, Illinois. Magnus, wife Kajsa, daughter Anna Lovisa and son Anders, accompanied by son Carl and his son Gustaf, and daughter-in-law Karolina Johansdotter, wife of August, and son Karl Ferdinand left Väse on or shortly after May 26, 1882. They traveled to Gothenburg, where the boarded the steamship "Argo" which departed for Hull, England on June 9, 1882. They probably arrived at Hull, England on the 11th, as it was a two day journey across the North Sea. They moved overland, probably by railroad to Liverpool, England. There they boarded the steamship "City of Rome" for the Atlantic Ocean crossing to New York. They arrived at the New York Port on June 26, 1882. Carl's future wife Sophia Larsson was also on the "City of Rome" and probably had accompanied the group from Gothenburg. The ship's manifest does not appear to list Magnus's daughter-in-law and her son, nor does it list Carl's son Gustaf. Years later Gustaf recalled to his daughter Nettie that seven of them arrived at Peter Extrom's home on the 29th of June, 1882. As Karolina and her son would of went to her husband's home, the seven could have been Magnus, Kajsa, Anna Louisa, Anders, Carl, Gustaf and Sophia Larsson. Gustaf although only eleven at the time clearly recalled the date as it was the day that Peter's first child Ellen was born. He and Cajsa Stina Gustafsdotter immigrated on 26 May 1882 to Varna, Marshall Co., IL. Magnus died on 3 July 1901 at Wenona, Marshall County, Illinois, at age 80.4 His body was interred at Swedish Cemetery, Varna, Marshall County, Illinois.5 Family Cajsa Stina Gustafsdotter b. 21 Jul 1825, d. 4 Jun 1916 Children	 Carl Gustaf Magnusson+ b. 29 Dec 1849, d. 4 Apr 1933 Johan Magnusson+ b. 9 Oct 1852, d. 22 Feb 1938 Jan Petter Magnusson+ b. 20 Nov 1855, d. 12 Mar 1946 August Magnusson b. 13 Jul 1857, d. b 19 Jul 1859 August Magnusson+ b. 19 Jul 1859, d. 12 Apr 1948 Anna Louisa Magnusdotter+ b. 17 Sep 1862, d. b 1946 Anders Magnusson+ b. 5 Mar 1868, d. 20 Nov 1934 Citations [S216] 1775 - 1854 Väse Parish, Birth Record , p 241.
