Hej Martin, Again you have helped me with the correct info. Yes, Johan Berntsson is the correct person traveling from Denmark to the United States. I was not sure as to what surname he used when leaving Sweden. He is a cousin to my deceased husband. Tack så mycket och Gott Nytt År Naomi in Illinois ------------------------------------- Martin <martin48@telia.com> wrote Thu, Dec 27, 2012 01:08 Looks like he took a ship from Copenhagen, Denmark. http://ddd.dda.dk/udvandrer/udvandr_soeg.asp?navn=berntsson%2C+joh&stilling=&alder=&sidste_oph_sted=&s_sogn=&s_oph_amt=&best_by=&best_stat=&best_land=&kontraktens_nr=&aar=1897&maaned= /Navn: / *Berntsson, Joh.* /Stilling: / *Farmer* /Alder: / *18* /Bestemmelsessted: / *De Kalb, Ill.* /Kontrakt nr.: / *31000* /Forevisningsdato: / *3/9/1897* /Fødested: / *Sverrig* /Fødesogn: / *?* /Sidste oph.sogn: / *?* /Sidste oph. amt: / *- Sverige* /Sidste oph.sted: / *Sverrig* /Bestemmelses land: / *USA* /Bestemmelses by: / *De Kalb* /Bestemmelses stat: / *Illinois* /Skibsnavn: / *Indirekte* /IDkode: / *I9497B2512* Martin Martin skrev 2012-12- torsdag 19:45: > Johan Berndt is the brother of Carl Alfred.
