Re: Hellman Family Emigration Info

Swedish port records start in 1869, so there won't be a record of the Swedish port departure for Peter Johan Hellman.

When were these people born? Are the dates the ones from the parish records? What parish?

I suppose this is your Peter Johan Hellman. If he left from Gävleborg county, he might have taken a ship from Norway. I don't know if that would have earlier records than Sweden does.

Then this must be the emigration of the wife and daughter.

Now that the information is available telling the full names, birthdates, and birth parishes for the husband and the wife, someone might have the time to look up the parents of those people. (We MUST know the full birthdate, full name, and birth parish to find parents in Swedish records. These names are not rare and there are a couple thousand parishes, at least. Records were kept in the parish.

The wife and daughter aren't found on the Emihamn database (Swedish port departures) so they probably went through Norway.

This site has some emigrations from Norway.
