Gustaf was the son of Jöns Johansson and Anna Maria Andersdotter. Josefina was the daughter of Per Månsson and Tyra Andersson.
Yngwie’s maternal grandfather was Johan Erik Folke Johansson (later Järredal, the son of Johan Gunnar Johansson and Maria Theresia Johansson). Yngwie’s great-grandfather Johan was the son of August Johansson and Amanda Engla Erika Berg. Theresia was the daughter of Frans Johansson and Johanna Sofia Gran.
Yngwie’s maternal grandmother was Maud Birgit Öllegård Malmsten (the daughter of Johan Albert, later John Albin, Malmsten, and of Gerda Cecilia Lindblom).
