Hi, there!
Manson is a very common name in Caithness so don't be surprised if you come across more than one candidate.  In the Old Parish Registers on http://www.ScotlandsPeople.gov.uk I found a John Manson born to John Manson and Ann McKenzie on 16 June 1802.  You'll need to contact ScotlandsPeople directly to order the extract if you think this is the right chap.  You may also find it useful to contact the Highland Family History Society: http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/scot/Highland.FHS.home.html
Good luck!

thanks for your reply,  i asked my mother  if she know anything more about John and she told me that he was born in Thurso and moved to sweden when he was about 28-29 years old, first to Gothenburg  and then up north to Kramfors.

I will look at the links you recomended and see if i can find any more information.
