Titel: Help finding emigrants
Skrivet av: David Arvidson skrivet 2021-01-12, 15:26
I am researching some distant relatives, so I have no first hand knowledge of their lives. I have had good luck tracking people through the parish records on riksarkivet.se, but I often cannot find them after they emigrate to North America. I hope you can help me find these particular people and/or that you can give me some ideas of where to search next.
Some of the people I have researched did not stay in the United States very long and they returned to their families in Sweden. I was usually able to figure that out using the census information.
Right now, I am trying to find the six children of Anders Johan Johannisson and Maja Stina Johannisdotter. In the late 1880s and early 1890s they lived at Torp Torneberg, Bondstorp, Jönköping. It appears that all six children left for North America but none of them left together.
Johanna Andersdotter born 12-4-1863 left 12-4-1888
I used Ancestry.com to research the Ellis Island records and had no luck finding any of them.
Are you able to find any information on these on any of these people once they enter the United States?
Do you have any suggestions of where I should look to find out more about what happened to them?
There are other cousins of this family and they are also people where I cannot find records after they emigrated to North America. I am hoping that information you can find out about this particular branch of the family will help me find records of their cousins.
