Have you done any DNA, do see if you find relatives with the Anderson last name?

Have you done Ancestry DNA, if so, we should compare! My mom's dad has a kinda similar story when he came here from Sweden, only, it was his mom that brought him illegally and there was no record of him before he got to America.

Wasn’t there a movie starring Ricky Lake and Brendan Fraser or something like very similar to this in the 80s?

Luckily we know but my mom born in 1969 changed her name from Hobbs to her step dad's name of Coley when entering kindergarten. Was not a problem, her social was under that name all was good until 2015ish when she couldnt renew her driver's license because her birth certificate and social didnt match and she didnt have any legal reason to back up the change. Her DL had always been under Coley as well.

My Swedish/Irish Andersen ancestor went “missing” in the Yukon gold rush. My great grandmother sued for her missing husband’s life insurance policy seven years later and won. No one knows what happened. My sister was able to trace him to last being in Butte, Montana after leaving Colorado to head to Alaska. It was a lot easier to disappear back then.

My mom’s grandmother changed her last name when she came to the United States. She wouldn’t say where in Europe she came from. I didn’t realize other families changed their names.

My great grandfather ran away from home during world war I and changed his last name. My brother found record of him trying to escape into Mexico to avoid the draft. We think that’s why he changed his name.

Are you sure it was Andersson? My 2x great grandmother came from Sweden around 1906 and her maiden name was Andersdotter (from what I understand last names were the first name of the father +son/dotter).

Most likely changed her name to protect herself from judgement especially if she was living with family and around others who may know the family.

My great grandfather entered the US by going AWOL from a ship he arrived in in NYC. In the 1940's he went to get naturalized and it was denied with an additional name on the card, but approved 3 months later with that name dropped. He was from the baltics area so finding documents is hard

My great grandfather is unknown. I have narrowed it to two names. Crazy bc I would have a different name.

We had an unwed mother ancestor during the civil war on my dad’s side. Son had her last name (Wilson). She NEVER fessed up who daddy was.

Part of my family is Swedish and this isn't necessarily related to your search for Einar, but apparently when that part of the family arrived to the US, they were made to change their name from Anderson to something else because there were too many Andersons coming from Sweden, or so I've been told. Doesn't sound like this is what happened in your case, but just something interesting to share!

Sister Dot :
To immigrate from Sweden to the United States in the 1850s, you needed to travel to a European port city, purchase a ticket for a transatlantic ship, and travel to the United States. There were no formal U.S. immigration papers to fill out. That’s how my grandfather immigrated to the USA legally too.
