I have recently returned to searching my Swedish Family History but have found the site to be a little different now.
Please help in trying post an image in to the body of the post.
By the way, I am member M24669 on DISBYT.
My Ancestors start with Nils Alfred Göransson (1884-1931) > Göran Persson (1848-1918> Per Andersson (1792-1881)> Anders Bodelsson (1761-1832)> Bodel Erlandsson (1729-1817)> Erland Bodelsson (1709-1751)> Bodel Nilsson (1675-1718)> ?.
Most of my ancestors on my FF side come from Kronoberg or Skåne.
My FM side is in the Värmland area.
Thanks in advance on how to post an image.

Write your explanatory text in the square.
Then Click on the text under the square "Bifoga bild eller fil och se andra tillval"
"Choose File"
More than one object can be appended. It shows the allowed file types, maximum file size and total of allowed.
Then Posta.

p.s. Include the parishes for those you want information for, if at all possible. To find someone from just a name can be like looking for the proverbial needle in a haystack.

John,
Thanks so much. I tried it a few times as you stated with no luck. I am guessing the preview post does not show the picture. I will try again with the image attached and "post" and see if it works.
Thanks again.

Bingo. It worked. It does not show it when you "preview" post. You have to "post" to see image.

Glad it worked. Nils Alfred f. Torpa, Kronobergs shown. :) Good luck.

Looking for additional help. I guess I ran into a brick wall.
Nils Alfred Göransson born in Torpa, Kronoberg 6 October 1884. He arrived in the USA at New York on 3 November 1907 aboard the ship Lucania. He left Liverpool on the same ship on 26 October 1907.
I have the Manifest verifying the above dates. I am unable to determine the ship and port that Nils left Sweden about that time. I subscribe to ArkivDigital but can not find him under the Police Records.
The attached document (Torpa-G-BI-2-1900-1949-image-230-Page-17) taken from ArchDigital is incorrect. Nils did arrive in 1907 not 1908.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

also wanted to attache the following record from the UK. Note the same Contract #41515 on the Ships Manifest and UK leaving document. I see where Copenhagen might come in to play. Not sure.

Thought I would add this to go with the above.
Taken from Arkiv Digital (Torpa-G-AIIa-1-1900-1912 Image-286-Page 274). From the home of Nils' Father, Göran Persson.
Not sure how to understand the note for line #6. I see the family is moving from Skårseryd and it does list Nils as going to N. America in 1908, but there is an added note to clarify he left in 1907. Not sure. Hope this helps.

The note says that he was granted permission to emigrate 1907-11-08. Emigrated in 1908-01-28 to North America.

Thanks for the response Britt-Marie.
I wonder if the Swedish Records were a little behind. It looks like they provided the permission after he left the Parish?
The dates on the Ship's Manifest corresponds with what he placed on his Naturalization Papers in the USA.
Thanks.
Bob
