Hi,
I am looking for Sofia Martina Carlson born 1848-12-03, who is emigrating to North America 1874-09-04.
Her destination was Boston and she was travelling alone.
I don(<)t know where she travelled from or the name of the ship.
I would be very greatful if someone can look her up for me.
Did she reach her destination, did she marry what happend to her??
Kind regards
Catharina Wedin

Carl.
Thank you so much!
You made all the work for me.

her half sisters.
Kind regards
