I am searching for the dates and ports of travel and destination points for LARS ERIK OLSSON ORDELL.
LARS WAS BORN: 24 SEPT 1835 IN BYRSTA, KUMLA. HIS PARENTS WERE: OLOF ANDERSSON AND ANNA STINA JÖNSDOTTER. This is what I have found: Somewhere it is noted that Lars Erik is going to America next spring and that he adopted the name ORDELL.
1881-spring time Changed his name to Ordell when he went to America for the first time (to Chicago). I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHERE HE WENT WHEN HE ARRIVED IN CHICAGO.
1882-1885- Chicago, America
1885-Returned to Sweden Before leaving Chicago, he had to get a certificate from Pastors MW Eklund and Gustaf Petersson in Jefferson,Cook County, IL to certify that he was a single man , and had not remarried in the US, in order to remarry in Sweden.I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO INDENTIFY THESE PASTORS WITH SEARCHES HERE IN THE US.
1885- 1886-Moved 1 Apr 1885 to Örsta, Kumla. He married third wife in 1886. He was a torpare.
1886-He returned to the US on May 1, 1886. I DO NOT KNOW WHERE HE RETURNED TO IN THE US.
1889- Returned to Sweden in April 1889. He moved 1 April 1889 from Örsta, Kumla to Älvestad Nr.3 Norrgården, Kumla.
