I know that my g grandfather left Trane parish on April 14,1881 and found this info on Ancestry:

Name: Pehr Pehrsson
Birth Year: abt 1843
Place of Origin: Sverig
Destination: Princton, Ill
Record Date: 23 apr 1881
Port of Departure: Köpenhamn
Database Name: EmiHamn
Occupation/Title: Landmand
Archive Call Number: 2372
Principal Person: Pehrsson Pehr

I have looked through hundreds of ship lists but can find no further information. I have also tried the Danish archives, and Castle Garden sites but turned up empty- does any one have any suggestions as to what else to try?
Thanks!

There are many, many passenger arrival manifests which are not online. I have found a lot for my family on microfilm which aren't online. Passenger lists were often microfilmed too dark or too light or the edges crumbled away and the names disappeared in those crumbles.

Thank you so much Judy. This man was so elusive- didn't want to be tracked!
