I looked in the register on the CD-Emigranten, published 2001, and Erik A Ström was listed as departing from Malmö. It is not an image, it is a register of around 1.4 M emigrants from Sweden. The source code (which also is the number of the contract) is 1897:1115:761 Kurt F

The Danish online site http://ddd.dda.dk is there a Swedish equivalent ? This is photographs http://www.lmu.livjm.ac.uk/DanishTravellers/ >> 600 photographs and names of Danish Citizens and the date those people registered, the ledger covered the years 1917-23.<< from Post Office sorting warehouse in Hatton Garden, Liverpool, >> However, it has now come to light (Thanks to the researchers at the Danish Emigration Archive) that a large percentage of the people in the ledger have been traced to America.

I also did a search for Mathilda Ström and Mathilda Kjellman to no avail. > The Danish online site http://ddd.dda.dk is there a Swedish equivalent ? Not to my knowledge. snip > My guess is they went home on holiday to Sweden to show the family their children who are recorded as US Citizens born in USA Most likely, as they were registrered in the parish Amerika and the county US.
