This information I have about my grandmothers brother Axel Christoffer Petersson, born 1877-04-30,in Borås he left for Karlskrona Amiralitetsförsamling 1899-01-22.( The Navy)
He was transfered back to Borås 1900-10-10 but there I can´t find any trace from him.
The family story tells that he bacame a sailor and visited Gothenburg several times 1900 - 1907. It is also said that he left the ship he was working on either in Australia, Brasil or South Africa!
I have seached for him in the Göteborgs sjömanshus but he is not there. There are a number of Sjömanshus in Sweden. Can anyone give me a clue on where to continue. I´m on my way to Australia soon and would´t it bee something if he left there.
Best regards
Åke E
