Dear List: I need help in locating the ship and its manifest that my grandmother came to U.S. on. The ship manifest from Goteborg listed her as ANNA G. HULTMAN, age 22, traveling alone. (She was born Anna Gustava Fredrika Hultman, 16 April 1865.) She received her "movin' out letter" on 13 Sept 1887, and left from Motala to Goteborg on board The Orlando on 30 Sept 1887, destination New York City. According to Sue Swiggam, we add about two weeks to 30 Sept 1887, and makes her ETA about 14 Oct 1887, give or take. I'm grateful for any assistance available. Linda McDermott lmcdermott@copper.net

If you know the name of Anna's father, then don't overlook her possibly travelling with that patronym . . . for example I saw a Swedish 22 yr old Anna Torgerson, arriving at New York on October 14th 1887 aboard the Inman Line ship CITY OF CHICAGO from Liverpool . . she was destined to Illinois (?) . . . so, don't rule anything out, try every angle :-} Sue -- TheShipsList Website http://www.theshipslist.com/
