If someone has the Emigranten CD, would they be so kind to look up the date and port of emigration of my relative? Lydia Eufrosyne Sjöström was born 8 Nov. 1873 in Umeå. Her father was Erik Sjöström, b. 1852 in same parish; her mother was Margreta Kristina Eriksson, b. 1851 in same parish.
Family stories tell that Lydia came to the U.S. at the age of 19, and she got married in Minnesota on 24 Jan. 1893, so she would have left Sweden in 1892 or 1893? Did any of her other family members emigrate with her? Thanks so much for any information you can give me!

Marlette,
The whole family emigrated to New York in 1891 and -92. They lived in Kubikenborg (a sawmill) in Skön since 1882. Father Erik and son Oscar went over in 1891 and the rest of the family the year after on May 27th from Göteborg. Both Erik and his wife came from the village Överboda in Umeå.
