Hi Autumn,

From the fee-based Arkion site:

http://www.arkion.se

1890

Homeparish: Tingsås
Residence: Kroksjöboda Norregård
County: Kronobergs
SVARvolume: 000163 Card nr: 10
Page: 7 Row: 18

F means born.

Persons in the household
Fam nr: 1
Johan Algoth Swan f. 1861 in Wäckelsång (Väckelsång), v. Korporal (a military rank)
wife Hilda Kristina Gustafsdr (Gustafsdotter) f. 1863 in Wäckelsång
s. Carl Adrian Lambert f. 1885 in Wäckelsång

If you have any comments or questions, please post on the Sweden board and not this board.

I will probably not return to this board since I have no relatives who lived in Nebraska. I am not connected to this family. I prefer not to be contacted privately. There are plenty of helpful people on the Sweden board, which is far more active than this one.

I didn't find Edith in that census.

Hi again, Autumn,

This is the arrival of your Carl Swan in 1909. His birthdate this time is listed as Urshult, also in Kronoberg county. This is the same man as listed in my last post since his father is the same and he was going to Omaha, Nebraska. You will need to check the parish records to find out which birthplace is correct.

Be sure to study these manifest pages. They are quite informative at this time period. :-)

Edith came in 1910 from a different part of Sweden. It is strange that two birthplaces were listed for her. Umeå and Trehörna were both listed. She apparently had a brown spot (a mole???) on her arm. (I love the detail on these manifests.) She was going to Minden, Nebraska. Edit is the Swedish spelling of Edith and the transcriber misspelled her name as Edih.

Remember that questions about this need to be asked on the Sweden board.

I hope you see this post since you asked this question a year ago, and if you do see this, I hope the information is new to you.

Have fun!

Hi Autumn,

From the Emihamn database of CD Emigranten (the Emigrant CD):

First name: CH EDITH
Last name: KRAFT
Age: 17 Gender: K (kvinna = woman)
Parish: TREHÖRNA (where she was living when she emigrated) County: E (Östergötland)
Port: GÖTEBORG
Date: 1910 03 09 (date of registering with the police to leave Sweden)
Destination: MINDEN NEBR
Fellows: NEJ (Nej = no. She traveled alone on her ticket.)
Source: 91:253:11394

Here is (probably) the sister she was joining.

First name: HULDA
Last name: KRAFT
Age: 15 Gender: K
Parish: TREHÖRNA County: E
Port: GÖTEBORG
Date: 1902 09 10
Destination: CHICAGO
Fellows: JA (Ja = yes. She traveled with someone else.)
Source: 71:60:11097

Hulda traveled with someone who had already been to the U.S. This may be another sister.

First name: IDA
Last name: SANDBERG
Age: 27 Gender: K
Parish: AMERIKA County:
Port: GÖTEBORG
Date: 1902 09 10
Destination: CHICAGO
Fellows: NEJ
Source: 71:60:11097

One question you might wish to ask the Swedes on the Sweden board is why Trehörna was listed as being in Jönköping county in 1890 and in Östergötland county in 1900. My "guess" is that the county borders changed but they would perhaps be able to check some references to find out for sure. :-)

Here is a Carl Kraft going to Minden from Trehörna.

First name: CARL A
Last name: KRAFT
Age: 17 Gender: M
Parish: TREHÖRNA County: E
Port: GÖTEBORG
Date: 1890 09 05
Destination: MINDEN
Fellows: NEJ
Source: 43:212:3561

I didn't find that other relative of yours on this cd, so perhaps he traveled through a Danish, Norwegian, or German port.

Hi again, Autumn,


From the Emibas cd, which was released last August but isn't complete:

Post 150501

Kraft, Edit Charlotta
Dotter (unmarried woman)

b. 10/16/1892 in Trehörna, Östergötlands län (Östergötland)

Emigrated 3/5/1910
from Klämman Utjord, Trehörna, Östergötlands län (Östergötland)
to Nordamerika

Source: Household Examination Roll, p. 98

Emibas migration file ID: Trehörna E 1910 001

Dotter means daughter.

The Emibas cd shows registrations to leave the parish to go to a foreign country, and is, of course, for an earlier date than the arrival at the port.

Looking at Ellis Island records, I discovered that my great-grandmother, Ellen Damberg, arrived in the US in 1924 at the age of 51 and that she had listed her brother, Carl Swahn, of 6808 St. Lawrence Street, Chicago, IL as the person she intended to meet. I don't believe she ever went to Chicago, as the rest of her family joined her in New York months later, but it came as quite a surprise to me to discover we had other relatives in the US. I had always heard there were none. Is there any chance that your Carl Swahn is the same as my Carl Swahn?
