My grandparents also, both sailed from Goteborg, Sweden...one in 1887 and the other in 1889. They each boarded the ship "Orlando" and sailed from Goteborg to Hull, England...and then traveled by rail to Liverpool. Finding the next ship that took them to America was hard. In fact, I still have not found the one my grandmother sailed on. I know coming from Sweden to Hull, England took I believe about three days; then time to cross by rail to Liverpool, and then they had to wait for the next ship across the Atlantic. They both, according to the Orlando manifests, sailed into New York City, but I can't find them on Castle Garden for that time period. I'd also learned to add on two weeks for the crossing to calculate a date for arriving at the port in NYC.

If I am reading this right they left on the ship Hull. I cannot find where they sailed into America. They settled in Burlington, Iowa. Their names were Clas Anderson and Anna Apelroth Anderson with 5 children. the parents may have sailed at different times but the children were with Anna on the Hull. Thank you for this information. Also is there any information on ships into Galveston Texas in 1880?
