I now am able to conclude that Erik August Ström, his wife Matilda, and their children were in Malmö 1897 and that they emigrated between 1890-1896 (possibly 1892-1895). There is still no information about why they made the voyage but I suspect they for some reason or another wanted to visit their Swedish relatives. At the moment Malmö is the only Swedish connection available but I guess Malmö (and not Göteborg) indicates that the region I am looking for is south or south-east Sweden. Perhaps Stockholm. In the 1890-Census there is one Erik August Ström (born 1863) (same name and year as Matilda's husband) living in Stockholm. But so far I have not been able to gather more information about this person. As far as I could see there is no other Erik August Ström in the 1890-Census. But I do not know how reliable this on-line census is. -- Saluton, Knut TTT norvegia: http://home.online.no/~knklaveh/index.cfm Retposxto: [email protected] (legota cxiumonata) Nifonov no longer possessed a left leg, but he only discovered it on the following day.
