The only Otto born on the date you mention was the following:
 
Post 292325
 
Joelsson, Otto
Dräng (unmarried man)
 
b. 3/10/1856 in Algutsboda, Kalmar län (Småland)
 
Emigrated 10/30/1879
from Broakulla, Algutsboda, Kalmar län (Småland)
to Nordamerika
 
Source: Household Examination Roll, p. 309
 
Emibas migration file ID: Algutsboda H 1879 028
 
Further research might show if he is the right person. As his father was an Eriksson, he might have used that name in the U.S.

This Otto Joelsson was moved to the list of missing persons (page 789, GID 2.45.9000) 30 Oct 1879, where there is a remark Amerika. So he had probably emigrated earlier without giving proper notice to his parish office.
 
It looks like he was really born 10 May 1856 (not March), parents Joel Cristoffersson and wife Johanna Neptun of V. Hulasjö(?). GID 2.14.10800 [Kalmar; Kronoberg] Algutsboda C.5 Births,Deaths 1837-1862 page 865.
 
So this is probably not your Otto Ericksson.

Hej Elisabeth, berätta för mig hur du kunde hitta Otto. Hur går man tillväga när man inte har ort eller församling ?

Annika, jag använder CD-databasen Emibas, som bygger på att många volontärer plockat ut emigranter ur utflyttningslängder och husförhörslängder, och därmed finns oftast deras födelsedata med i databasen. CD:n är utgiven av Släktforskarförbundet, men nu tyärr slutsåld.
