Four of Johan's children left for America:

• 1884: Carl David Hedell left Gothenburg, Sweden and arrived in New York
• 1887: Johan Alfred Hedell left Gothenburg, Sweden and arrived in New York
• 1888: Peter Emanuel Hedell left Gothenburg, Sweden and arrived in New York
• 1889: Augusta Wilhelmina ("Minnie") Hedell left Gothenburg, Sweden and arrived in New York

According to Jörgen Hedell, "Three of [Minnie's] siblings came to US, Alfred , David and Emil. Two of them had family. Back in Sweden [Minnie] had 4 sisters and 1 brother, Anna, Maria, Hanna (twin to Peter Emanuel), Hilda and Gustaf. Anna and Gustaf got married but just Anna had children, and this is my side of Hedell family. But Minnie had relatives which emigrated before she did. Uncle Anders Petter with family 1868, grandmother Maria Christina 1869, aunts Johanna and Carolina 1869 and uncle Carl Gustaf 1869. Also uncle Claes Alfred came over 1879 but went back to Sweden 1870. (This part of family also still lives on in Sweden.) The only of the siblings who never left Sweden was Minnie's father Johan Fredrik. Her grandfather Petter Hedell died in Sweden 1867. He was the first taken the name Hedell in our family, he was born as Jonsson in Heda parish 1792, from which I think his name came from."
