The "emigrated [date]" isn't quite true; it's the date they were issued migration certificates. I'm sure Hilda and Karl travelled together.
Well, I see they left the port of Göteborg together, on 09 Jun 1911. But Karl was going to Omaha, NE and Hilda and her two children (Karl Harry, b. 24 Apr 1905 and Hildur Alice, b. 10 Jul 1910) were going to Boston, MA.
They all left Göteborg on the S.S. Calypso (Wilson line), bound for Hull, eastern England. From there they would have taken a train to Liverpool (or possibly Southampton) and embarked on an oceangoing steamer. So from England they may have travelled on different ships, or they may of course both have gone by way of NYC - but they are on different pages in the police records which means that they had bought their tickets from different agents.

Sorry, can't find Olof Albin. The Swedish Death Index 1901-2009 isn't yet complete before 1947.
