They took a train into Canada and finally arrived in Whitewood, Saskatchewan on December 10, 1888. They were met there by father Olof, brothers Nils and Johannis and sister Brita, who had come over earlier to Canada in March 1888.
The family settled in Assiniboia, North West Territories, Saskatchewan now, specifically the Stockholm area. Here another son, Oscar was born. By 1893, tragedy struck with the deaths of first mother, Maria and about a year later, Oscar.
Anna married Jesse Adams . They had 1 child together, a son, Claud Adams. Jesse, who was a railway trainman, was killed in a railway accident when Claud (born December 30, 1908) was 2 and a half years old, about midsummer 1911.
In 1919, Anna married for a second time to Hugo Johnson in Lund, British Columbia. They had one son, Hugo Andrew Johnson. In Lund, Hugo was a builder of fishing boats.
