Hello Iva,
According to the emigration records of CD Emigranten 2001, Olof Einar Boström age 23 from Lysvik in Värmland left 1924 Nov 11, from Göteborg (Gothenburg), to Casper WY.
I read the lists of newborn babies for Lysvik 1900, 1901, and 1902.
There are two boys named Olof Einar in 1901, one born January 14 and the other born February 7. Both fathers were called Olsson. He must have changed his name to Boström. Do you know his birthday?
I do not have access to the newer parish books so I cannot tell you about other relatives after 1900.
Maybe you should post a question at genealogi.se
Select Anbytarforum at the left hand menu. You are not allowed to post the same query in more than one place at the forum. I think the best place to post your querywould be either in one of the Discussions in English - or - you could go directly to Lysvik, that is Ämnen, then Landskap, then Värmland, then Socknar, and finally Lysvik.
Normally, the parish is the better choice but there are no active discussions in Lysvik just now. Anyway, people with local knowledge sometimes check if any new queries have been posted in their favorite parishes.
