Johansson (Floberg) emigr 1881 from Göteborg - Ports/Ships?

[Jack Howe]

Hej all, My greatgrandmother, Benhardina (Betty) Johansdotter (Floberg) b. 12/6/1868 Göteve, Skaraborgs län, her parents, Johannes Johansson (Floberg) b. 6/19/1819 Gökhem, Ska. & Katarina Vilhemina (Mina) Adamsdotter (Floberg) b. 1839 Eriksberg, Älvsborg län emigrated from Trävattna, Ska. to Kansas, USA 8/26/1881 and are believed to have sailed from Göteborg on or about 9/16/1881. I would like to learn what ship(s) they sailed on, which US port they arrived in, and when. The family story is that Betty's future husband, Samuel Johansson Ruhdin (Rudeen) emigrated along with them. I would like to try to confirm that if possible. Thanks in advance.
Mvh

The information on emigration is given here a few days ago by Bo Nordenfors,  
 so that effort should not be repeated here.  
 
That is the information in Swedish sources, the rest should be able to be found in Amnerican sources.
 
There actually is a Samuel Johansson that leaves Trävattna the same day according to Emibas
 
Johansson, Samuel
Dräng (unmarried man)
b. 8/15/1857 in Grolanda, Skaraborgs län (Västergötland)
Emigrated 8/26/1881
from Gullåkra, Trävattna, Skaraborgs län (Västergötland)
to Amerika

And according to Emigranten Populär 2006 he travels on the same ticket at Betty and her family

Hi Eva. Yes. My post was intended to learn the name of the ship upon which they sailed, specifically to identify the port in which they entered the U.S. The personal information provided by Bo was included to help in matching the people to a possible ship passenger list.
Regards,
Jack

They left Gothenburg 16 Sept 1881 on S/S Romeo for Hull.
(Source passengerlist p 409).

Olle,
 
Just wondering: where did yo find that list??
 
Perhaps Ancestry?

Sorry - I should of course have been more accurate about the source...
 
The first finding is on Ancestry, but it's also available via SVAR (Riksarkivet).
Full reference to the source at SVAR is:
 
Göteborgs poliskammares arkiv före 1900, Inkomna uppgifter om utvandrade personer, SE/GLA/12703/E IX/18 (1881). Bildid: A0056907_00214.
 
This is the same as found on Ancestry, but quality of the scanning on Ancestry is a lot better.

Thank you Olle, Eva (and Bo for your earlier post). That information helps solve one of the family mysteries. I am quite new to researching genealogy online and have much to learn about using the many resources other than asking questions here.  
Best regards,  
Jack
