"Axel Arvid Carlson b. 7/18/1886 -left Sweden June 30, 1905
Johan Ernfrid Carlson b. 7/3/1898 -arrived here Aug. 22, 1923 both were sons of Johan August Carlson and Anna Lena Magnidotter"
No such family can be found in the 1890 and 1900 Swedish Census CDs, which are transcriptions of extracted "husförhörslängder" (clerical survey; household examination) records for those years.

You might be able to get someone on the Sweden forum to translate the letters if you asked about them one at a time (with time between each request) and (if the letters are long) one page at a time. Type Sweden into the "Jump to Forum" space at the top right of the page.
I wish all my family could have been as easy to research as the ones who lived in Jamestown, New York.
1. the Swedish American church records are available at the Swenson Center, on microfilm, and those records are usually very detailed. (Records are NOT online.)
http://www.augustana.edu/swenson/
2. The Swedish American newspapers (on microfilm) can be ordered through interlibrary loan from the Swenson Center and I found great obituaries in those.
3. The marriage applications can be ordered on microfilm from any Family History Center and those applications provided names of parents, if I recall correctly, and perhaps told where they came from. I don't remember offhand.
4. The Lakeview Cemetery has excellent records.
5. The Jamestown newspaper(s?) have very, very detailed obituaries.
6. There are helpful city directories, which include one just for Swedes.
7. There was a book written about Swedes in Jamestown, called "Saga of the Hills" or something like that.
There were probably other great sources too. I researched my Jamestown bunch quite a few years ago, so I don't remember everything I checked, but I easily found information on those people.
