Nils P Bengston had a daughter (my g-grandmother).Her name was Augusta Matilda Bengston, but went by Matilda.She married Johan Andersson/John Bergquist.Their son, Nils Daniel Bergquist a/k/a Daniel Nels Bergquist was my grandfather.
Nils P Bengston m. Ingrid Kristina Jonsdotter a/k/a Christina.They had three children, Matilda, Annali (she d. before immigration to America), and a son Johan/John.
I do not know what happened to their son, John after immigration.He was in the 1880 census with the family, but I don't know what happened to him after that.

P.S.Do you have this obituary?If this is my g-g-grandfather, could I have a copy or transcript of the obituary?Nils was supposed to have died at sea either on the way to Sweden or on the way back from Sweden to America.
Oh, yeah, the family name spelling is found as Bengston, Bengtson, and in one census as Benson.
