Monson in Sweden to Rhode Island

Can you tell me how you found the info on your Swedish Monsons?My grandfather, Carlton Heimer Monson, was born in Illinois in 1906, but his parents were both born in Sweden, and I have been unable to discover where--his birth certificate gives their birthplaces as simply "Sweden".I also hit a glitch when the 1930 census had different years of immigration for each of them (Heimer Walfred Monson in 1891, and his wife Helen Louise (Erickson) Monson in 1880).We had always believed that they were married in Sweden and came over together, but apparently not.Can you give me any tips?The Ellis Island records do not go back far enough, and they may not even have come through there.In other words, BRICK WALL.I appreciate any and all help.Thanks!
