Titel: SV: Place name in Northern Sweden
Skrivet av: Yvonne Stenberg skrivet 2022-07-29, 11:25: The most likely John seems to be Johannes, born 21st May, baptized 23rd May 1858 i Gideå by (=village) in Björna parish in Västernorrland. His parents were Jacob Jacobsson and Anna Maria Åström. Johannes became a sailor, and in 1877 2nd Sept he took out a travelling document (like passport) for serving at sea. Fits your arrival date in Australia.

The pronounciation of Gideå is not too far from "jedi".

Johannes seems to have been absent from the parish thereafter and after his mother's death 1888 6th January he was listed in the book of "non-existent" so that fits in too.
