Anna Elfrida Eleonora Andersdotter

[Karen Norwillo]

I am looking for the emigration of Anna Elfrida Eleonora Andersdotter, 1872 7/6 of Norra Quarteret, Kalmar to America in 1889. She was the niece of my great-grandmother. GID: 75.137.53600 shows her moving-out. It also has her sister Kerstin Christina Mariana moving-out to Stockholm in 1896 I have know idea where to begin looking for her in which parish. Thanks for any help or suggestions.

This may be the sister but she used Olsson, not Andersdotter, when she emigrated. She was a dressmaker, seamstress (sömmerska).

The Söder CD says that she entered 7 November 1897 from Kalmar in Uppsala län and went out to America 11 June 1898. Her address was Hornsgatan 104,106; Bränkyrkan 93,95 (kv. Ufven Mindre 1). (I can't explain that address so hopefully the Swedes can.) Perhaps there was a misunderstanding about which Kalmar she came in from.

This person, with a different set of given names (an error?), was born 7 June 1872. Emibas isn't complete, however.

I see that the father was Anders Olsson and the children (or at least a couple of children) apparently used his patronymic instead of keeping up the old patronymic traditions. This was a time of transition and the old customs died sooner in cities, so I'm not surprised they didn't use Andersdotter.

I think the Olsson, Anna Elisabet E is your Anna Elfrida Eleonora with a mistake in reading Elisabet for Elfrida.
 
In the Kalmar moving-out record she is number 264 of 1889, 13 Jul 1889, HFL page 169, Anna E E Olsson born 72, to Amerika (GID 75.140.42500).  
 
This MIGHT be her in the Emigranten 2001 CD:
 
Name: ANNA OLSSON
Age: 17
Parish: KALMAR
County:  
Port: KALMAR
Date: 1889-07-17
Destination: GALESBURG, IL

Judy and Bo,
 Thank you both. As usual, you always come through for me. The birth date matches for Kerstin Khristina Olsson and I, too, believe the Anna is the correct one. I found her moving-out record and she would have been 17 at the time. She was born 1872 7/6, The 1874-1888 and 1888-1900 Household Rolls clearly has her name as Anna Elfrida Eleonora. One has the second name spelled Alfrida, the other Elfrida. Looks like they used the Olsson. Again, thank you.
