    1. Emigration from Sweden

    3. It's been mentioned to me that there is an emigration CD and I'm wondering if someone can do a lookup for me? My great grandmother Signe Helfrida Andersdotter (Anderson) departed Sweden for the USA in March of 1913 onboard the "Olympia". I have a photo of her with 6 other people onboard this ship and I'm wondering if someone could tell me who the other passengers were onboard the ship at the same time as her? Also where the ship departed Sweden and where it was going in the USA? Thank you in advance for your assistance. Brenda Hammond

There is one entry for March of 1913: First name: Signe H Surname: Andersson Age: 0 (could be no entry) Parish: Dörarp, County: G (=Kronobergs län) Titel: none Port of departure: Göteborg Date of departure: 1913-03-28 Destination: Chicago, IL Co-travellers: Yes Source Code: 98:311:7834 Strange enough, there are no other passenger listed on the CD for that Source Code, which actually is the contract number for the travel. There were 17 other persons who travelled from Göteborg to various other places in the US. No-one to Chicago. Do you know her age? I assume she wasnŽt born 1913... You can mail me directly if you want more information. My email address is valid. Kurt F

The correct name of the ship is the Olympic. The Olympic's passenger manifest includes a Signa Andersson, age 24 from Dorarp, Sweden. The Olympic sailed on April 2, 1913 from Southampton, England to New York City. Your great grandmother would have taken some other ship or ships from Sweden to Southampton. The Olympic was sister ship to the Titanic and Britannic. The Olympic could carrry 750 1st class, 500 2nd class and 1150 3rd class passengers. You can view all the Olympic's passenger manifests at www.ellisisland.org.
