Hello Anna,
Your posting is so old that I'm not sure if your still looking for help or not. I don't have answers for you right now but I may be able to find them. But, before I spend a lot of time searching out your answers and replying to an inactive email address, could you please let me know if you are still seeking information?
I am working on a multi year project compiling information on ALL OF THE SWEDISH EMIGRANTS that ever came to the NEW SWEDEN, MAINE area - so if I don't have the information in my files right now, I may have within the next few months and I would love to help!
In the meantime I did look up this family on the Swedish emigration CD called emibas and have found their emigration record. (I'm sure that in the last 5 years you've recovered this also, but... just to let you know that I'm serious about my offer....)
The family emigrated from Orås 2,Östraby. Malmöhus län (Skåne ) on August 7, 1833. Some of the birth dates that are recorded on emibas differ from the ones shown (but I have found more than one mistake on the emibas records-but what genealogy record doesn't have mistakes) Anyway I'll give them to you here for something to ponder..
Nilsson, Per born 9/20/1834
Ellström, Botilla born 5/12/1839
Persson, Gustaf Adolf born 12/17/1881
Persson, Cal August born 3/9/1879
Persson, Alfred Rudolf born 9/13/1870
Persdotter, Maria Amelie born 3/16/1876
Persdotter, Johanna Sofia born 8/8/1873
Persdotter, Hilma born 7/7/1867
All the children except Hilma were born in Österby.
I hope to hear from you so that I can help you find your family.
Lynn Johnson
