Three brothers, different last names from Norra Asarp, Skaraborg Lan

AnnetaS — 30 Oct 2007 5:54:20 GMT

I am searching for brothers to August Sandgren; Gustaf Carl Sandberg b. 1852 and Fredric Carlsson b 1863. It is speculated they left Sweden around the same timeframe, but not sure where Gustaf and or Fredric went when they immigrated from Sweden & arrived in America (either late 1880s or very early 1890s). August & his family settled in the Seattle, WA area.

It's difficult when they all have different last names, AND I do not know if the 2 men traveled with spouses when leaving Sweden. If anyone might have a tie to these men and their families, or if you have additional information that could assist me in my search, it would be very much appreciated.

Swedish immigrant to PA in 1876

kathynelson83 — 26 Nov 2008 3:43:03 GMT

My great grandfather, Erick Anderson, emigrated from Sweden 10/15/1876 and came into Pennsylvania. I'm interested in the name of the ship he traveled on and any other information as I'm working on family genealogy. The above information came from Embas migration file: Balinge D 1876-001. I'm not sure if he traveled with others or way alone.

BERG, Andrew

CreolianDelight — 13 Apr 2008 2:04:17 GMT

I am currently looking for any information on one person; Andrew BERG.

Andrew was born in Sweden around the year 1861. I believe he married around 1878 to Mary (maiden name unknown - she was born around 1860). Both ahd come over around 1892 from Sweden with their family and was naturalized around 1896.

Andrew and Mary's children are Charles, Ruby, Mary, Harry, Annie and Wilfred (My great-grandfather).

Wilfred (Walfrid, Walford, Wilfird) was born on April 15, 1887 im Helsonburg, Sweden and he came over with his family (father, mother, siblings) in/around 1891 (around age 10) and naturalized in/around 1896. Wilfred eventually married Flora Sophia LETHBRIDGE and both are buried in the Corinth Rural Cemetary, New York.

I am currently missing every single piece of information on Andrew BERG and I don't know where to start. I can't seem to find him on the SSDI and I did find him on the 1900 US Census living in Canaan, New York. And I don't have any idea where him and his wife are buried.

My email is CreolianDelight@aol.com

William Armstrong immigrated from Sweden in 1898

Jeseese — 21 Mar 2008 2:12:22 GMT

William Armstrong came to America in 1898 and settled in Bath,Maine. He was born in 1881 in Sweden and his parents names were Hermann Armstrong and Mary Swanson and both of them were born in Sweden too. I need help in trying to find out where my G. Grandfather and his parents lived in Sweden and if he had any siblings, what port did he leave at in Sweden,and what port he arrived in America. Anything would be appreciated. I am thinking that over in Sweden,he would or might of had a different spelling of his name maybe like Vilhelm Armstark for William Armstrong,and his mother's name would be like Maria Svensson or Svensdotter, and his father would be Herman Armstark.I am just guessing, but like I said I will take any information on William,Hermann or his mother Mary.Also William died between 1910-1914,on a ship,and his wife remarried in 1914.William came over to America single.

Family from Vastervick Immigration

Normiepig1 — 1 Mar 2008 11:36:31 GMT

I have information on my Ggrandfather, Johan Gustafson's immigration and I just found out that at least 2 of his siblings also came to the USA.

But...he took the name Gustafson which is his fathers middle name, and I think his 1/2 siblings (different mothers) went by the fathers first name, Johan. So I am having a hard time finding the siblings.

Could someone take this information and see what they can find out?

the last name could be Johansdotter or Johanson or Gustafdotter or Gustafson

Carl August born October 9, 1864 in Bergbo Gladhammer parish, moved to Adolf Fredricks parsh in Stockholm in 1886.

Hanna Sofia born march 24, 1867 in Solbergs udde Vastervick moved to Hedvig Elenora Parish in Stockholm in 1886, and is listed as the sponsor for my grandfather at his baptism in 1896 in New York.

Alfrida Charlotta born March 13, 1871 in Solbergs udde Vastervick, moved to america May 13, 1890 abd was a seamstress possibly went to Boston or New York.

Thank you!

Julia Alfredsson Arrived in the USA 1922 (i have the Manifest)

josefnilsson — 15 Feb 2008 10:44:53 GMT

Hello

This is my fist post in these forums so i hope i do things correctly.

It started whit fathersday then i said that we have a small family and how nice it would be to have relatives in the USA, and to my unbelivef they said we do have relatives on my mothers side. Unfortunately all who would remeber these events are dead and all i had to go on is rumours my mother have heard since she was small.

I gott a name Julia Alfredsson and the name she (might) have married under in the USA. I did research in Sweden and whit some help i gott the following information.

She is my mothers fathers sister.
She was born in 1900 on the fourth of December(1900-12-04).
She did Emigrate to the USA in 1922 by a ship called Drottningholm, which arrived in New York on November the 18th (1922-11-18)(i have the passenger manifest)
In the manifest theres a box which sayes where theire first adress should be.
In there it sayes she is supposed to live whit her aunt called Frieda Bostrom (but i belive the correct swedish spelling would be Frida Boström) and that the adress is 4835 Barry Ave. Chicago Illinois.

Thats what i have which are on paper. The other things are rumours and one fact.
Rumour: She Married whit someone whit the surname Ford.
Fact: She came back to Sweden (belive it was 1947) and picked upp a certan numbers off relatives and took them to the USA.

Note that her surname was Alfredsson, but it might be spelled Alfredson in english due to grammma corrections (only one s)

Thats All i know.

I find it hard to track her down, im not good at this.

Can someone PLEASE help me. Its importent to me and i want to go over to the USA and visit them.

I sure would appreciate any assistance I could get. Thanks so much.

August Hamilton/Sven Svenson?

KYSnuffy — 5 Nov 2007 4:41:05 GMT

My great great grandfather immigrated here from Sweden and changed his name from Sven/Swen Svenson/Swenson (sp)? to August Hamilton. His wife immigrated from Denmark and her name was either Karen Mortenson or Carrie Moorberg. She may have changed her name as well. She was born around 1859 so I'm assuming he was roughly the same age. They had a daughter, Ida Alminy "Susie" Boletta Hamilton in 1878. I know this about him: he played accordian and octarena and was a deacon at the First Baptist Church of Cheyenne.
The problem I'm having is I don't know which name he came with and when he changed it. Any information about either of them would be great!

The escape of Ola Månsson - grandfather of Charles Lindbergh

nbodin — 12 Sep 2007 10:44:20 GMT

August Lindbergh was born as Ola Månsson May 12 1808 in Smedstorp, Sweden and died October 15 1893 in Little Falls, Minnesota, US.

He was the father of lawyer, loan officer and congressman Charles August Lindbergh and grandfather of the famous flyer Charles Lindbergh.

Ola Månsson was a rich farmer close to Simrishamn in the south of Sweden and with his wife Ingar Jönsdotter he had 7 children. He was selected to the Swedish parliament, representing the peasantry and had several assignments.

In 1858 Månsson was tried in the Swedish court on accusations of embezzlement of money from the bank at which he was a loan officer. After the trial, Ola Månsson, his wife Lovisa Carlén and her infant son Carl immigrated to the United States. When they immigrated Ola changed his name to August and changed the family surname to Lindbergh. The infant's name was changed from Carl to Charles August.

I'm curious how they travelled from Sweden and if they travelled in correct names. Ola, as mentioned above, left his wife and his children...to escape with a much younger waitress...and they were unmarried...

Nils Peter Bengtsson and Amanda Persson

lindakvist — 17 Jul 2007 2:59:41 GMT

Hi,
Im trying to figure out what happend to
1) Nils Peter/Petter Bengtsson, b. 1858, February 15, in Grevie, Sweden. Emigrated to the US in 1881.

2) Amanda Persdotter/Persson, b 1857, February 25, in Grevie, Sweden.
Emigrated to the US in 1879 together with her father Per Jönsson b 1830, July 25.

Nils and Amanda got married in the US and had a child, Anna Josefina, 1889, June 10. Amanda died when Anna was very young, only a few years and Anna was sent back to Sweden. Nils was supposed to come as well and the story that is told is that he was waiting to enter the ship and just fell down and died.

I cant find Nils Peter, Amanda or Per in any kind of passengerlists or any other records. Amanda and Per came to US via Copenhagen, Denmark. Anna was born in San Francisco and they might have lived somewhere in Oregon. Per returned to Sweden as well.

Greatful for anykind of clues on where they lived, when they got married, where and why they died and on what ships they arrived on (and even what ship Anna and Per took back to Sweden).

Best regards,

Linda

Ellis Island mystery

bdhmf04 — 9 Jul 2005 12:02:08 GMT

The naturalization papers from my great-great grandfather state he emigrated to the U.S. from Gotenborg, Sweden. His port of entry was New York, NY in November, 1892 on the vessel S.S. Umbria. I have another document stating he arrived on or about the month of October, 1892 in the port of New York, NY. He was born in 1871. I have placed him in Sweden in 1890. The only Ellis Island record that is even close has the correct name, correct age, the date of arrival is 10/31/1892 and the ship is correct. What is stumping me is the ethnicity and port of departure which are listed as England and Liverpool respectively. When I look at the actual manifest record, his occupation is listed as engineer and U.S. destination is Massachusetts. He was a farmer and came to Minnesota. I read somewhere that Swedish immigrants frequently traveled via boat to Hull, England then by train to Liverpool where they departed for the U.S. How can I be certain this is my descendent? Sorry this is so long. Any help/guidance is greatly appreciated!

Johan Eriksson (Jansson), sailor, b 1860, from Valö or Dannemora

Johan Gille — 5 Jan 2005 9:32:25 GMT

I have a pretty hopeless task that someone maybe can help me shed some light on:

My grandfather's brother was Johan Eriksson (or Jansson), b 30 Sept 1860 in Hökhuvud, Uppsala, Sweden. In the Swedish books he's listed as a sailor, and he worked as such between 1880 and 1888. But then he disappears. The records I've seen list him as emigrated (from Dannemora) in 1903, but I've been unable to find a convincing match in Emibas for that date.

However, there is a perfect match in August of 1889: Johan Eriksson, 28 yrs, Valö (where the family lived at the time), emigrated to Chicago, IL.

My trail ends there. Family history reports that he returned to Sweden to claim the inheritance of his father (Erik Jansson, d Aug 20, 1910), but I haven't been able to confirm that either.

If he'd only had an easier surname... :-)

ddsloan75 — 20 Jun 2004 2:40:36 GMT

I am so frustrated with trying to find my great grandparents arrival into the USA. I have record of my great grandfather, Karl E. Nilsson, from Garpenberg leaving Gothenburg Port in 1902 for Chicago. I know that he took either the ship "Romeo" or "Aristo" to Hull England and I have the contract number. I have my great grandmother, Anna Nilsson and son, from Garpenberg Parish in Dalarna, leaving Gothenburg port a few months after my great grandfather, for Chicago. I know that she took one of the ships listed above for Hull, England and I have her contract number as well. The problem I'm having is that I can't find them on any record coming into the USA. I have checked all ports in 1902 and they are not on any of them. Where do I look from here??? P.S Some where along the trip they changed the name from Nilsson to Nelson.
Thank You

But on his line it has the Pa. And the year 1882 that he was naturalized. I was curious as to if this was where he came into the US at.

hulda Johnsdotter Persson

StanRoz — 30 Mar 2003 1:59:55 GMT

Hulda is my Great-grandmother. We have very little information about her. Her date of birth was Sept. 30, 1859. She can to the US, Whitehall Michigan in 1880. In Hulda's obit. they listed two sisters Emma and Caroline, and one brother August. I have not found any parents names or other reletives. One of my cousins wrote to somewhere in Sweden and received this informtion.
Name at Birth: Hulda Johnsdotter Persson
Date of Birth:Sept. 30, 1859
Location: Horn parish Östergötlands County
She took out a moving certificate in 1880 and left from Horn parish
The next informtion is that she is on the index to a Passenger list as Hulda Christin Jenson 20 years old from Horn parish. Hulda left from the port of Gothenburg on Sept. 10, 1880 for White Hall.
**
They did not give the ships name. Could Hulda been married befor? We had always thought her last name was Peterson.
Can someone help with this mystery.
