per digitalarkivet, the following passenger departure:
Ship Angelo: departing Kristiania on 26 Aug 1887.
Passenger Inga Nilson, married, age 30, traveling with daughter Helmine Nilsson, female child age 11 months. Residence Wermland, destination Escanaba (Delta Co., Michigan).
Looking for port of arrival in USA, date of arrival, any reference to who they intended to meet in Escanaba.
Background:
Inga was christened: Ingjerd Nilsson, b. 2 Apr 1854 in Backa, Västra Emtervik, Värmland, Sweden; daughter Wilhelmina, b. 7 Apr 1886, also in Backa.
Husband Johan Edvard Eriksson sailed from Kristiana for Escanaba on 20 Apr 1886. Inga appears to be following him to USA. However, because Inga's husband Johan either died or abandoned the family prior to 1888; don't know if Inga is expecting to rejoin him, or simply going to be with her sister who emigrated to Escanaba in 1883, and married in 1885.
Looking for any kind of clue to help track down information contained in the manifest.
Thanks
John Werner
