Hej
 
His first destination was Chicago

 
Could he have changed his name to Rydberg. There is one Victor Rydberg living in Kane Ill.
Send You some more pictures on this guy.

Hallo Arne,
Thank you for your help. Yes, the man you found in EMIHAMN is definitely the Victor I am looking for. However, I am not sure that the Victor Rydberg you found in Kane, Aurora etc. is the same guy. Dates are contradictory and the spelling different.
I do know that the Census dates are often approximate so I don't rule him out. Maybe another candidate will turn up? If not, I will have to investigate this Victor even though he is consistently called Rydberg.
Thanks,
Birgitta
