Hellström, Nils A. *1863 Helgum/Holmstrand emigr 1892

[Jack Howe]

Request help finding where my great grand uncle Nils Abram Hellström b. 9 Aug 1863, his wife Ida Carolina and son entered the U.S. and where they settled in 1892, one year before my widowed great grandmother and grandfather emigrated to Kansas. I didn't know my great grandfather Jakob Hellström had a brother.
Thanks.

Thanks Mats, that is great news! Nils' sister-in-law...My great grandmother, Katarina JOHANNA (Sahlin) Hellström (aka: Hällström/Halstrøm/Halstrom) emigrated to Kansas in July 1893 after my great grandfather Jakob (Nils' brother) died. I have not been able to find any record from Ellis Island of her arrival in the U.S. along with my grandfather, Abraham George, and his 3 siblings. I know they left Trondheim, Norway on 12 Jul 1893 aboard the Dominion Line ship Juno to England. Could they also have entered by way of Quebec?

I can see in Digitalarkivet that Nils, Ida and Abraham left Trondheim June 15, 1892. The destination is given as New York Mills Minn, so I guess that means they were intending to go to Mills in Minnesota.

Thanks again Mats!  I just found it. New York Mills is the name of a town in Otter Tail County, Minnesota where they lived after arriving. I'm still hoping to find info on where my grandfather entered the following year.  
mvh

I tried to find other families, leaving at the same time as Johanna and the four children, but I can't find them either. Perhaps the passangerlist used at their arrival isn't registrered or is lost. But, perhaps one day the names will pop up :-)
