Please can anyone help with emigranten information for Hilma Amanda Johansdotter, born 11.1.1875 in Grimeton. We know she emigrated in 1897 but we would like to know more. Her father's name is Johan Otto Andersson (or Grienberg) and her mother's name is Brita Lena Eriksdotter.
We have seen an emigranter record for her in Tvaakers parish dated 1897, stating destination North America. No more detail was available.
She may have been travelling under the name Andersson, Johanson, Grienberg or Grimberg.
She was unmarried. She had her baby with her, less than 1 year old, named Albert John or John Albert.
We are trying to locate passenger list information so we can determine what port she left from and other details of her trip.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hello Glen.

Exit from Göteborg 1897-07-07 to New York.

That's all the information there is on the CD.

Roland,
This is exactly the information I needed - I needed to know when she left and what name she was travelling under. There is a 40-year gap in the passenger list index for Ellis Island which resumed on June 16, 1897. Since she left Göteborg in July it means she will be on the index. This makes things much easier.
Thanks very much. Your help is much appreciated.

Roland,
Can a contract or reference number be researched further? If so, how would I do this?
Thanks again..
