Renee,
Many traveled through New York, by the waterway (St. Lawrence Seaway) on
boats or barges, to Detroit or maybe to Sandusky, OH, and then came up to
Michigan.
Good luck with your Sweedish researching.
Mary

Subject: [MIGEN] Victor & Carl SWANSON-to Michigan in 1889
I'm trying to find the birthplace in Sweden of these brothers:
1- Victor SWANSON, Apr 1869-Sweden - married Emma Jane Allen on 4 Apr 1891
of Houghton Co.,Mich. Died 17 May 1923 in Bucyrus, Crawford, Ohio.
2- Carl SWANSON, Oct 1865-Sweden- married an Annie abt 1895.
3- Emil SWANSON - no info.
1900 Houghton Co.,MI Census, p 67B, lists both Victor & Carl with their
families.
Swedish "Emigranten" says Carl SVENSSON emigrated to "Ironwood, Mich"
in
1889. (This is in Gogebic Co. only 2 counties away from Houghton Co.) It
also says their last residence was FRYKERUD, Varmland, Sweden. Would like
to find Victor on this source also.
Would someone headed for Michigan come in through the port of New York or
into Canada? - Any suggestions or help appreciated. Thanks, Renee Harris
