Karen, according to Dr. Olsson's book, mentioned above, the Källström family recieved their passports in Västerås on June 19, 1846. They arrived in New York on 1846 Sep. 15 on the ship Charlotte from Stockholm.
They travelled in the company of about 140 other Swedes, among who one finds for instance Jonas Olsson and his family. Jonas Olsson was the brother of Olof Olsson who had been sent to America in 1845 by Erik Jansson to find a new home for his followers, so this ship Charlotte sems to have been filled with followers of Erik Jansson.
However, when they arrived in the U.S. many became doubtful of the teachings of Jansson and left the company of his followers, which is what the Källströms might have done.
