We were having where did you come from discussion. And one of the group said that there were allotments for the number of Europeans that could come into the country in the 1880s to early 1900s. I followed many Swedes who came to America during this time and I have not been aware of any quota for Scandinavians. Can someone on the list enlighten me or clarify this for me. Thanks so much, Carol from Kentucky

Hi Peter Yes, I agree. Seems he moved about a lot. Sweden, Denmark, Norway. Just tracked his younger brother Pehr (f. 6 Jan 1855) from Farstorp to Sölvesborg in 1870, then he goes elsewhere in 1875 (too faint for me to read). Older brother Olof (f. 15 Jul 1848) also left Farstorp when young. Appreciate your intervention. Are you able to tell if Nils emigrated with other persons?

Thanks Judy, I've not see that before. It might be that he went to Copenhagen at some point. I have followed his mother through the census and congregation records, and in Farstorp AII:1 (1896-1910) Image 550 / Page 43 (AID: v98269a.b550.s43) his name appears in a comment on line 18, to do with a foster-daughter Ellen Ohlsson. It appears she was born in Copenhagen but baptised in Hästveda on 2 Jun 1902. Sadly that parish's scanned birth and christening records end before 1902, so I can't double-check the names of the parents. But Nils Olsson and his wife Karin Karlsson might be they.
