Ludwig Carlson's parents never wed so his mother Joanna never took the last name Carlson. Also, only his mother emigrated to the U.S. in 1889. His parent's names are Carl Eriksson Löf (1829 - 1881) and Johanna Ivarsdotter (1832).

They had 9 children:
Carrie Carlson - 1899-1968
Nels W Carlson - 1900-1964
Clara Carlson - 1904-1904
Clara "Claire" Carlson - 1906-1982
Sven Carlson - 1908
Louise Carlson - 1912-1998
Kathryn Carlson - 1915
Charles Carlson - 1916-1963
Charlotte Carlson - 1916-1985

The reference on his name being Fredrik Ludvig Löf (Carlson) is the birth register from Sweden (3rd from the top): https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/00094596_00005#?c=&m=&s=&cv=4&xywh=-34%2C-24%2C3799%2C2471
He started using Ludwig Carlson when he arrived in Minnesota. Find A Grave could really use a separate field for "Also Known As" especially since many immigrants changed parts of their name once they came to America. His name is tricky because he uses three variations including his patronymic name: Fredrik Ludvig Löf / Ludvig Löf / Ludwig Carlson. I was taught by Swedish Genealogists to use the birth name as the official name and AKA as their Americanized name. With that said, I have recorded his name as Fredrik Ludvig Löf Carlson.

NOTE ON ABOVE: The name I used on this memorial reflects that which is found engraved on the cemetery marker to avoid a future duplicate memorial being created. I agree an AKA field would be a welcomed FAG enhancement to the database. [RJC]
