Hi Ian:

I am researching Axel Theodor Andersson Ostrom.  He was born on 3 Jan 1865 in Veta, Östergötland.  His moving out record from Odeshog states he left Sweden on 17 Nov 1888 for America.  I can’t seem to find any passenger list for him after leaving Sweden.  I thought I found him in Connecticut, but now I think I have the wrong person.  When you have time, can you check?

As always, I appreciate your help!

Here is the moving out record

Hi Ian:  I just confirmed that I had the wrong Axel Anderson in my tree.  Ugh!!  At least now I know. I had an Axel Anderson who was born in 1866 and moved to Connecticut near my other Anderson relatives.  But he is the wrong person.  He died in 1945 in Naugatuck, CT. 

The correct person is Axel Teodor Andersson Ostrom who left Odeshog parish for America on 17 Nov 1888.  He was born 3 Jan 1865 in Veta, Ostergotland.  I searched the passenger list book from Malmo/Gothenburg in late November 1888 through February 1889.  I didn’t see any Axel T. Ostrom or similar.

Would he have a military record?

I found one record on ancestry.com that says he may have gone to Copenhagen and then New York. 

Is there anything in the written comments in the records above that could help?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Ian:  I think I figured out Axel's military connection.  Was he in the livgrenadjärregementet?  I researched a bit about the Life Grenadier Regiment in Östergötland.

Here he is on the SS "Ohio" in April/May 1888:

Even though the minister had written he must have left a lot earlier.

Here is his Danish record:

Thanks!  I found that earlier passenger list record too, but I dismissed it because his moving out date was so much later in the year in November.  But it has to be him.  The name matches perfectly and the age is right.

I thought I had him using the name Axel Anderson in Connecticut living near his siblings.  But he is not the correct guy.  He may have moved to another state.

I searched later records in Sweden in case he moved back, but I don’t see him anywhere (based on his birth date).

Thanks again,

Paul

Hi Ian:

I hope all is well.  I have a baptism record from January 1665, Tranemo.  The name is supposed to be Hans, baptized on 29 Jan 1665.  Can you confirm this?  Does it say the father’s or mother’s names?  Any other info?

Thanks!

Paul
