Johansson emigration lookup please

[Howard Hamilton]

Hello
my Great Grandfather Johan Fredrik Johansson was born in Målilla, Kalmar on 28 Aug 1845.
A family story tells that he (and maybe the family) moved to Gotland. Then Johan emigrated to New Zealand.
He arrived here in 1877 (Svenskarna Inya Zeeland (Sten Aminoff)) but do not know which month.
Did they go to Gotland?
Could somebody check to see when he left Sweden and where from?
And if able to, where from and on what ship?
 
Thanks so much for your help

Hi Howard
I don't know how big Malilla was back then, but my G-G-grandfather was born there on November 8, 1824. He was Johan August Johansson. Might be a connection. I'm just starting my research on Johan & family, but will keep an eye out and come back here if I find anything.

Hi Jeff,
 
There is one Johan August born 1824, August 11, in Målilla parish and another Johan August born 1824, November 8, in Mörlunda parish (on the border to Målilla). You better check the dates.
 
Good luck!
