Gustav Albert Erikkson

[Sally Appenzellar]

I would like to identify the emigration date for Gustav Albert Erikkson (in USA Erickson), b. 26 Feb 1844, Hulje (near Berga), Kronoberg. From US census data there are at least two year dates: 1900, 1903. There are many Gustav A Erikksons in the immigration records, several with similar birth years.
There is a family story that he is one of 8 children, 4 of whom came to the US.  Gustav was supposedly going to Wisconsin to join a brother.  His parents are Nils Peter Erikkson and Britta Stina Johannesdotter, Berga, Kronoberg.  
Thank you for any help.

According to the records in Berge parish, Ingrid Maria b.26 Mar 1875 was the first one to emigrate. She left the parish Feb 20 1891 for Nebraska, North America. I haven't found her immigration in the US yet. But she seems to have been using Erikson instead of Nilsson.
 
The second one to leave was Johan August b.15 Jun 1873, and I have yet not determined if he used Nilsson or Erikson. He left the parish Feb 2 1893.
 
Karl Fredrik Nelson (Nilsson) b. 14 Aug 1877 arrived in New York with SS Lucania Mar 5th 1898. In the manifest it states he's going to join his sister I M Erikson in New York. Final destination is however Nebraska.
 
And then as you say, number 4 to leave should have been Gustaf Albert, haven't located his immigration yet either but still looking for it.  
 
There were really 8 siblings. Numbers 4, 5, 7 & 8 probably stayed in Sweden.
 
I will look more into this tomorrow.
