Selma Ericsson,my grandmother, born in Halmstad in 1876, I would like to know when she came to America the first time, I believe she was 19 years old.

Hi Tony,
 
There is a Selma Erikson, 19 years old, from Varberg. She went from Göteborg, 1895, Aug. 2 to New York. I found it in Emigranten-CD.
 
Varberg is another town also in Halland about 40 miles north Halmstad, on the way to Göteborg.
 
The source code is 56:18:110.

Hi Tony!
 
On the site www.ellisisland.org you can find a Selma Erikson that arrived to Ellis Island the 15:th of august 1895, 19 years old. Probably the same Selma as Sam found. You can read that she came with a ship called Virginia from Helsingborg, but on the original manifest you can read that the port was Gothenburg, and that she was going to stay i New York.
