Mårtensson, Jon b. 1850.03.03

[Ingrid Wikberg]

Help me find my great grandfathers family in America!
Jon Mårtensson b. 1850.03.03 from Vigge,Berg parish, Jamtland, Sweden
He was first an unknown father but we found him in church-book;  
He left my grandfathers mother and then he married  Gertrud Jonsdotter b. 1857.02.21
from Skålan in Jämtland. They married 1878.10.13 and they got three children:
Elin b.1879,  Brita b.1881, Martin b.1883
The immigrated to America in 1888. This is all I know.
Can someone help me? From which port they left Sweden and where to in America?

[Ingrid Wikberg]

He is found! Under the name of John Mortenson he and the family left for America via the port of Trondheim on 16 may 1888 and with destination Seattle, Washington! BUT: what happened then?
How can I find his descendants there...As it is not sure they settled down in Seattle?

Hej Ingrid
 
Om du går hit, http://ssdi.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ssdi.cgi och söker på Marin Mortenson så kommer du att hitta en som föddes 1883. Kan det kanske vara han. Eller så kan du gå hit: http://ssdi.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?ti=0&gsi=1&db=ssdi&prox=1&f3=MORTENSON&f4=MARTIN&f15=&sx=n
om du där går in på request information så kan du beställa en kopia på social security application för att kunna gå vidare.
mvh
