Hej, jag har fått en efterlysning från en Amerikan som vill hitta sina rötter i Sverige. Jag har dock lite svårt att hitta något pga lite information och att jag inte har kunskapen och verktygen för emigrationsforskning. Finns det någon som känner igen denna person eller kan tipsa om hur man går vidare?
