Hi Paul,
Since Anders suggested that Dahivig is probably the name Dahlvig, I did a search on the Emigrant CD. There were only three hits.
Maybe this is your Elin. Elna is close to that name, Dalvigh is a very similar spelling, she seems about the right age, and she emigrated in 1884.
First name: ELNA Last name: DALVIGH Age: 17 Gender: K (kvinna = woman) Parish: RESLÖV County: M (Malmöhus) Title/Note: PIGA (maid) Port: MALMÖ Date: 1884 07 17 (date of registering with the police to leave Sweden) Destination: NEW YORK Fellows: JA (Ja = yes. She traveled with someone else on the ticket.) Source: 1884:1744:1741
She traveled with:
First name: JOHANNES Last name: DALVIGH Age: 14 Gender: M Parish: RESLÖV County: M Title/Note: GOSSE (boy) Port: MALMÖ Date: 1884 07 17 Destination: NEW YORK Fellows: JA Source: 1884:1744:1741
This person left three years earlier, without the h at the end of the name.
First name: BENGT Last name: DALVIG Age: 38 Gender: M Parish: RESLÖV County: M Title/Note: DRÄNG (farmhand) Port: MALMÖ Date: 1881 07 14 Destination: SVEDE GROVE Fellows: NEJ (Nej = no, he traveled alone) Source: 1881:3424:1476
I checked the 1890 Swedish Census, on the fee-based Arkion site,and this was the only hit for the entire country of Sweden.
