Hi Gary, there probably wouldn't be a record of that trip in the Swedish parish records since your great-grandmother likely wouldn't have reported it to the parish priest if she wasn't permanently moving to the United States. Instead you might be able to find a US port passenger manifest or border crossing record, though I've looked some and haven't been able to find any that look like it could be her. This might be because her name was mistranscribed by the indexer. My great-grandfather Måns Jönsson came to the US in 1905 to visit my grandmother and her two sisters but the passenger manifest was tricky to find since he was travelling under the surname Nelson (all of his children who came to the US used that surname since Månsson was too difficult for Americans to pronounce) and the indexer misread his first name as Maris.
