Hanna Sophia Berggren (born 5/24/1875)

[Sherry Hickman]

Looking for information on my great-grandmother.  I know she traveled with Elof Berggren to the United States in 1895 and in that record she said she was his sister but she first arrived in 1892.  I can't find out anything about her parents or other siblings.  Can you help?

Hi Sherry!
 
A search for Elof Berggren in the Ellis Islands records gives that he and Hanna travelled from Liverpool Jan 29th and arrived New York Feb 6th in 1898.
The ship was Lucania.
 
Hanna was 23 yo and Elof 18 yo.

Hi Sherry
Elof, travelling 1898, came from Barkåkra in Skåne.
A look into census 1890 shows the following family, that probably is Elof's.
 
Andersson Berggren, Anders born 1841 in  Barkåkra, Skåne  
Bengtsdotter, Kersti  born 1844 in Förslöv, Skåne  
Oskar                  born 1869  
August Theodor          born 1877  
Elof                  born 1879  
Alma Charlotta          born 1883  
Kornelius          born 1886
 
All children born in Barkåkra ,Skåne
 
Can't find Hanna, perhaps she left before the census

Hi again!
 
Concerning Hanna: In the passenger list from Lucania it says Elofs' last residence was Barkåkra...BUT Hannas' was Helsingborg!

Little bit more about Hanna.
Interesting is Helsingborg, as CD-emigranten has her as living in US when going to US in 1898.
Ship manifest also has a note that she has been in US between 1891 to 1897 (as I read it).
 
Haven't been able to find the first journey, not yet anyway
