Thanks Bo, it was worth checking. I thought that if I could find him somewhere in Denmark it might help me to know where Nils went. -----Original Message----- From: Bo Johansson [mailto:bo.h.johan56@bredband.net] Sent: 02 January 2016 14:12 To: Kevin Walker; sweden@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [SWEDEN] Did Håkan Andersson resturn to Sweden Den 2016-01-02 kl. 00:38, skrev Kevin Walker via: > > In 1855 two 15 year-old boys emigrated from Färlöv, Kristianstads län, > Sweden, to Denmark (no place name or parish given).

Håkan Andersson has only one entry in the EMIBAS database: Andersson, Håkan Gosse [boy] (unmarried man) b. 9 Apr 1840 in Färlöv, Kristianstads län (Skåne) Emigrated 18 Jun 1855 from Sandskiftshusen, Färlöv, Kristianstads län (Skåne) to Danmark Source: Household Examination Roll, p. 267 ------------------------------- And he is not in EMIBAS with a different surname. Also not found in Swedish Death Index 1901-2013, or Swedish Census 1900, 1890, or 1880. // Bo Johansson
