Holm, Emil, born 16 May 1884 Kristianstad

[Diane Macgowan]

Emil Holm, with his parents, John S. Holm and Anna Persson, and his brother Sigfrid (born in Halland), and sisters Amelia and Ruth, emigrated from Sweden either 1901 or 1902.  I would like to know if this family is recorded as leaving, and what other records are available.  They lived for awhile in Landskrona, being Salvation Army members there.
