Lars Jansson was born at his
mother's birthplace Kungskogstorp, Lungsund (S) in 1840. Together with his mother and father
Jan Larsson and Kajsa Bengtsdotter Lars moved from Kungskogstorp to Hulteby in the parish
of Väse (S). He returned to Lungsund in 1855. According to the church register for the years
1866-1870 Lars Jansson was living in Kvarnfallet, Lungsund (S). He is said to be a farmhand
without work. He and Maria Pettersdotter asked to have the banns published
1866-08-31. Maria's brother Jan Pettersson is the owner of the farm nr. 7 in Kvarnfallet. Maria's
mother, the widow Kajsa Olsdotter, was also living on the farm. On the 5th of October 1866
they were married. Lars is now said to be a workman and living in Kvarnfallet according to the
church register. On the 25th of September 1875 Lars Jansson moved with his family from
Kvarnfallet to to Bråten in Varnum (S). Next move is to Uppsjön, Visnum (S). Maria
Pettersdotter died from a stroke on the 18th of Mars in Visnum. In 1885 there's a new maid
coming to the farm and she, Anna Lovisa Jansdotter from Fågelvik, will in 1887 be Lars
Jansson's new wife and the children's mother. The family was soon further enlarged by 3
children at this time. The plans to emigrate were now slowly emerging and at the summer in
1900 the matter was settled. Some of Lars' children were already in America. The Larsson
family emigrated to USA 1900-06-13. The family consisted at the departure of Lars and his wife
Anna Lovisa, the children Carolina, Ida, Anders, David and Olga. The name Larsson/Jansson
was changed to 'Sjöquist/Larson' as early as at the departure from Göteborg and then to
'Seaquist' by Jan (John) Jansson-Larsson-Seaquist when he came to America in 1890.
