Hope this finds you all well as can be ?

There is a chance that my grandfather , Carl Olsson may have fought on the side of the British and I am wondering IF THIS IS PERHAPS HIM, and  how I can obtain copies of his: 
record, file, with signature, country of origin, perhaps parents/siblings names etc. 

Your help would be sincerely appreciated, thank you.

Welcome Bones

You may want to read this blog I wrote on researching the surname "Olsson": theangloboerwars.blogspot.com/2015/02/oh...ohlssen-ohlsson.html

It features the Carl Olsson mentioned by Mike above.

There could be attestation papers for him, please PM me and I will put you in touch with a researcher who can help you.
