According to Anders Bengtsson's obituary (Andrew Benson of Titusville, PA), two of his children died in infancy. The only two children that this could be are Emma Potentia Andersdotter and Karl Andersson. Emma was born 3 Mar 1882 and Carl was born 30 Mar 1887, both in Tvååker.

This is Anders' familysearch ID- G3PB-M25. His wife was Anna Sofia Pehrsdotter. Her ID is LYZN-V4H.

According to the Swedish records, Anders emigrated in 1887 and Anna Sofia and the children joined him in 1888. There were five children at the time, including Emma and Carl. So if they died, it would have been in the US. I looked back in time, and found no other children born or died prior to 1888.

PS: Here is Anders' and Anna Sofia's marriage record, Feb 2 1877: https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/00138279_00034

Thank you for researching that and for finding the marriage record. I really appreciate it.
...and here is Anders' birth record: https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0011679_00019 (second on the right-hand page). His parents were Bengt Jönsson and Inger Britta Börjesdotter, who rented land in Tvååker nr 9 (that is, in the village of Tvååker, after which the parish is named), HHE records https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0011679_00019 (1851-1862), https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0011668_00129 (1861-1876). In 1876 they moved to Munkagård (HHE record https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0011669_00169), then the next year Anders married and moved to Fastarp (the first of the HHEs already present in the profile).
Thank you so much for that information. It seems the Swedes kept very good records.
