Assuming the 1880 census is correct, the enumerator got it backwards: the children's father was born in Denmark and their mother was born in Sweden (and Johanna's parents were born in Sweden, too).

Assuming the 1880 census is correct, the enumerator got it backwards, again. Johanna's father was born in Sweden, and the children's father was born in Denmark.
