Elin Persén

  Research Notes:

1. Moving out to North America, 29 Apr 1905

name: Elin Persson

http://app.arkivdigital.se/production/index.html?aid=v136059.b310.s23&page=main/index ;; Los (X) B:3 (1895-1916) Image 310 / Page 23 no 6

- she is the only one listed leaving at that time/date

- why would she travel by herself? Did she plan to meet up with someone else or were they going to meet her?

NOTE: there are a number of people from the Kyrkbyn / Grufbyn / Rullbo and other farms leaving for North America, most in May
TO DO: Complete a name study to try to see a connection and some others that she traveled with


2. Ellis Island

possible: arrival in New York, 1 May 1905 ???, age 25; last residence as Tristina ??? doesn't seem to be such a place, so it may refer to a farm/locality within a parish; going to New York to a cousin Victor Swanson

another possibility: arrival 2 May 1906; age 23 ? last residence as Stockholm?, but this person is going to Boston to a brother.

3. Arkiv digital

- name index for "Elin, age 60" in "Swedes in the 1940 US Census" - 29 people; THIS is not likely the same person


4. Ancestry.com; Bornesäter Släktträd Family Tree; owner Kjell Bornesäter - from facebook group, "Old images ... Loos ..."

- leaving Göteborg to Hull, arriving 5 May 1905 traveling to Stromsburg NE in Polk Co [ 150 km east of Omaha ]

- links to findagrave, Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Omaha, Douglas Co
BUT this is a confusing tombstone;
https://findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=Persen&GSiman=1&GScid=100643&GRid=73050684& ;; id# 73050684

Elin Persen, birth unknown; death, 1919, date of interment, 3 9 1919 [9 Mar 1919] - re; gravesite details; likely died in Mar of 1919

The reason the tombstone is confusing

Elin Persen
(then a mark, and then on the next line)
"Rum och Namn"
Väl Herren Känner
Da Han Räknar
Sina Vänner

so, what does this mean? "rum och namn"; google translate, room and name?

from Kjell Bornesäter, 4 Oct 2018; Rooms and names Well, the Lord knows when he counts his friends [ this is really a google translate, but doesn't really make sense ????? ]
