Hi!
I think Mark gave you all information there is on the the "emigranten CD". (You
can also see that their primary destination was Chicago.)
If you want to trace further back you should continue with the swedish household records.
I found your ancestors in Älvsborg, Hössna parish household records 1878-1891, (vol
AI:11), page 114. The shoemaker Nils Salomon Karlsson is living with his family in the
croft Hägnen before emigrating to America.
Apart from the information Mark gave you, you find that an older brother Henning Nilsson,
b. 1866-02-21, emigrated to America three years earlier, 1881-05-06. From emigranten CD
you find that his primary destination was New York.
Good luck!
