I am not related.
I can find no Fred Bard earlier than the 1930 U.S. Federal Census. That suggests to me that 1) he might have changed his surname (Swedes LOVE to do this.) or 2) he arrived after the 1920 U.S. Federal Census.
I see this Frithiof Bard born a bit earlier than you said. He left Sweden in 1926, which would fit my thoughts listed above. Maybe he Americanized his given name.

This appears to be the same man on a different emigration index. This index is called the Emibas CD. Emibas was made from registrations in the Swedish parish to go to a foreign country. It is about 75% complete, but is much less complete after the mid-1890s.

I see a Fred Bard with the same birthdate as Frithiof listed on the Social Security Death Index.You can order the application for his Social Security card. It should list his parents, including his mother's maiden name and it should list his specific place of birth, etc. (The application costs $27.)
