JOHNSON was my maternal grandmother's maiden name. This name poses some problems because it is an Anglicized version of JOHANSSON and because following it back takes us out of the land of surnames and into the land of patronymics.
All of the information back in Sweden comes courtesy of my third-cousin Brenda in Seattle. I posted here about the work she is doing in Genline.

Here we leave surnames and start with patronymics.
56.Johan Peter KARLSSON (b. 19 Jul 1807 in Vrångfall, Locknevi, Kalmar, Småland, Sweden, m. 17 Nov 1830 in Locknevi, Kalmar, Småland, Sweden, d. 29 May 1852 in Locknevi, Kalmar, Småland, Sweden)

112. Karl HINRICSSON (b. 21 Oct 1764 in Locknevi, Kalmar, Småland, Sweden, m. 26 Dec 1789 in Locknevi, Kalmar, Småland, Sweden, d. 26 Mar 1827 in Locknevi, Kalmar, Småland, Sweden)
113. Stina JOHANSDOTTER (b. 17 Feb 1769 in ?, d. ?)
Because of patronymics we don't know Karl's father's last name, instead we only know his first name was Hinric. I wonder how DNA Surname projects work in Sweden? How does one know what last names to research?
