Family history
Lars Andersson was born in 1819 in the parish of Sundals-Ryr, close to a town called Brålanda. His parents were Anders Ersson and Lisa Larsdotter, and their ancestors in turn were all farmers in Dalsland. His early life until he met Lisa Pettersdotter is not known, although family legend is that he worked for a time in Stockholm as "kusk", Swedish for a driver or coachman. At some point, perhaps while in Stockholm, he took the new sumame Dahlin to add to his name Andersson.

Lisa Pettersdotter was born in Gestad Parish in 1821 at a farm called 'Balltorp' to Per Andersson and his wife Kjerstin Jonsdotter. Feb. 3, 1851 she married Lars Andersson Dahlin in Gestad parish. Their two oldest sons, twins Gustav Adolph and Johan Alfred were born on 12 May, 1851. Gustav later changed his name to August Wilhelm.

By 1853, Lars and Lisa had moved to 'Gärdserud', a farm at the south edge of a town called Mellerud in Holm Parish a little further West in Dalsland. They lived in a small cottage, or 'Stuga' on Gärdserud farm. The rest of their children were born while at Gärdserud. Josefina was born in 1853, Wilhelm born in 1855, Albert in 1857, Solomon in 1859 (Solomon only lived 16 days), then Mathilda in 1860, Aron in 1862 (Aron lived less than a year), then another Aron in 1863.

Lars Andersson Dahlin died on 12 July 1866 at Gärdserud, of Typhoid fever, leaving the widow Lisa with 7 children to raise, the oldest twins being only 15 years old and Aron, the youngest, only three years old. By Nov. 11 of 1867, Lisa and her family had moved to Grinstad parish, to live at a farm called 'Spirakasan', where she was listed as being dependent, (indentag), possibly to a relative. She lived there until she followed most of her family to America, the last to leave Sweden in 1886 at the age of 65. She went to, NE to join her daughter Mathilda and her husband.

With few prospects in Sweden, the family soon began to leave home. First the two oldest boys, twins Gustav Adolph and Johan Alfred left for Norway in 1872. They worked in Norway until 1880, when Gustav Adolph left for America, the year as his brothers Albert and Aron.
