Letter from Johan Goddijn of the Swedish Genealogical Society Re: Passenger list from the feeder ship Rollo
3 names were found on that list were Maria Pettersson (there was no one going by Maja Lena or the last name Olofsdotter or Olofsson) Maja is Maria in Swedish then there was Maria C. Svensson instead of Svensdotter because Svensson was more commonly used. And Hilda Christina shown to be married to a CJO Carlsson. Speculation is that CJO was traveling with them but he was not married. This letter will be scanned and put into the objects for all to read.
