How Erick Persson chose the name Edavlson
Oral history says Erick Persson & Christina Andersdotter were married and came over to the U.S. from Sweden after joining the LDS church. They changed their last name from Persson to Edvalson after the captain of the ship said there were too many Persson's and they needed to choose new last names. Erick looked at the green mossy banks in Sweden and chose that for a name which is Edval. EDVAL is "Green Mossy Bank".

Obituary for Christina Anderson Edvalson
(Ogden Standard Examiner 1927-09-17)
Grandpa Edvalson
Before he was married, he was a shoemaker's apprentice. Later he was a shoemaker, going from house to house making shoes. In about 1782, he quit the shoemaker business and sold tailor made clothes having made a stand. Then started up the bakery business. That business he kept up until he moved here. They had a shop, and Grandpa and Grandma did all the baking. Elder Larson, who later married Grandma's sister, first brought to the gospel into their home. Peter A. Peterson was the Elder who baptized Grandma and Grandpa. The children all waited until they got to West Weber to be baptized. They all wanted to come to Utah, so their oldest son Conrad borrowed about $150 and came over to America. To get the money, he was on his way to see about work at the sawmill. He stopped at the home of farmer that he knew that slightly, and asked him if he could borrow the money and he lent it to him. Conrad had never had any dealings with the man but knew he had money. In place of working at the sawmill he went to work at Stockholm for about a month and a half working on the railroad fixing the tracks until time for the ship to leave. He was in steerage from Stockholm to Copenhagen, Denmark. Then he went in second-class the rest of the way. He went from Copenhagen to Hull, England and then went by train across England to Liverpool then on the ship named Wyoming. He then had to work and pay that back. In a little over a year, he had saved enough and sent for Erik. They both work hard for another year to earn enough to bring the rest of the family over. They bought a farm in West Weber and went there to live. The boys all helped their father on the farm and he also did shoemaker's work between.
