Attached is a portion of a passenger list departing Gothenberg 14 April 1871 on the Rollo. I would like to try to locate them in Sweden but not sure what the place of origin is for Johanna and the children. P G Anderson is found in the US records as Per and Pehr. He is the one I really want to trace but Westmanlands is not helpful enough. Any suggestions?
Best wishes

There is a town named Kungsbacka in Sweden. Could that be it?
It's about 30km south of Gothenberg.
Best regards,

Thanks for the replies. I had considered Kungsbacka first and after scrolling mindlessly in records I gave up. Last night I discovered Kungs-Barkarö was a parish that sounded possible but still did not find a birth so figured I would ask for a second opinion. I just found the BC for Per David in 1868 so must have been asleep on my first attempts last night! There is a notation that says he is a Baptist child. Did not expect that!
THe 1871 record is perfect. I need to study all that. Not sure I understand the birth place given for the father Per Gustaf.
Thanks again

Sorry, I was incorrect here.
He was born in Floda Parish in Nyköpings Län - nr 21:

No worries Ian I had found the record based on date of birth in the Floda birth records last night. These locations are far from where I was hoping they would lead so I need to regroup. I may be on the wrong path.
Thanks
