hello again
Helmers destination is registred as New York.
Cannot find Helmers brother in the database that fits . Searched under the name
theodor(e),teodor(e), william,vilhelm,
Vilhelm is a swedish name that normally changed to William in USA. Frances is not a
swedish name, he must have changed it in USA. From what is difficult to guess.
The search is also considering different spelling of the surname.
Karlsson,Carlsson,Carlson etc
For your info I have found another passanger record that is very similar to the first one
.:
Name,Helmer Alfred Karlsson
Age 25
Län (area) X (= Gävleborg), Parish not mentioned
Occupation : saw mill worker
Port of departure : Stockholm date 19230613
Destination New York
The age does not fit exactly, but it is strange that 2 persons with the same name and with
the same occupation from the same area from Sweden emigrated during the same Month.
I wonder if it is the same person who embarked a ship in Stockholm and then arrived to
Gothenburg 6 days later ,took another ship from Gothenburg and was registred a second time
.
Regards
Rolf Karlsson
