Olaf and Julia Johnson a Swedish American Family

Could this be our Johnson family in Sweden?
Judy Olson Baouab I have found a family using the Emibas CD which matches very well (but not perfectly) with the family in the above image.
You have Olaf Johnson, born 18 October 1818 and Emibas has Ola Jönsson born 8 October 1818.
You have an unnamed wife born 15 August 1820. Emibas has Gunilla Andersdotter, born 15 August 1820.
You have a daughter Carrie born 11 April 1841. Emibas has Karna Olsdotter, born 11 April 1842
You have Emelia Nellie born 21 May 1845. Emibas has Nilla Olsdotter, born 21 May 1844.
You have Anna, born 18 October 1847. Emibas has Anna Olsdotter born 18 October 1846.
You have John Peter born 2 May 1850. Emibas has Johan Olsson, born 2 May 1849.
You have Lena, born ? ? 1851. Emibas has Helena Olsdotter, born 11 November 1851.
You have James Jesse, born 25 May 1853. Emibas has Jöns Olsson, born 28 May 1854.
Besides Americanized names, the main difference is the year of birth. In most cases, the month and day are exactly the same.
