Swede Chas Holmes, 21 years old is noted as a passenger on board a vessel leaving New York, USA in Februari 1894 with the destination Sydney, New South Wales. Could anyone find out more info about this man once he arrived in Australia? I have for years tried to find my husband's great grandfather, who emigrated from Sweden to Minnesota, USA in 1888. He was born as Karl Mauritz Holm on May 27, 1873 in Helleberga, Småland province, Sweden. Last heard from by a letter home in 1893 (written in Euclid, MN). He then called himself Charles M Holmes. Maybe he took off for Australia?? Any help would be much appreciated. Best regards from Susanne
