Persson, Oskar Joel Leonard b. 1880-05-29 in Malml. Emigr. 1899 t Boston, MA

[Johan Löfstedt]

I'm looking for Oskar Joel Leonard Persson, born in Malmö May 29, 1880. He emigrated in July 1899 with destination Boston, MA. According to Massachusett's passenger lists he arrived July 28 as Oscar Persson. He is listed next to an Emil Larsson (both "seamen") who obviously was a travel companion, at least. This Emil Larsson mentions as contact his father Lars Persson living at 2 Union Place, Boston. For Oscar Persson the same guy is mentioned as "Uncle". I haven't discovered any relationship yet between them though, even though I have traced Lars Persson back to Sweden. Emil seems to have returned to Sweden (died in 1950), but no trace of Oscar Persson. Maybe he "he sailed on" and disappeared...!?

Not mentioned in the inventory (Febr 22, 1913 Oxie & Skytt) after his mother's death in 1912. All other siblings mentioned, even those living in USA, points to an early death, or disappearance without any information to the family.
