I would like to know if there is a Frans Oskar Anderson listed in the Emigrant CD coming over to America in October or November 1881.  He was born 2 Nov. 1864 in Hjo parish in Skaraborg.  His father was Anders Gustaf Karlsson, mother was Gustafva Fredrika Andersdotter.  Other children also went by the names of Ekstrom, Gustafsson, and Karlsson, so he may have been listed under one of these.  A brother Gustaf Alexander Ekstrom came about the same time - I already have his information- but wonder if Frans Oskar came over with him, or on another trip.  Census records show him as immigrating in 1881, but I have been unsuccessful so far in finding him on any ships' lists.  
 
Thank you for any information you can provide.

Are you sure about his age? I find one F O Ekström, 17 years old from Hjo. He left Gothenburg on November 18, 1881. I tried to find Gustaf Alexander but had no luck. Maybe he went through Norway?

Judy, I may have found Gustaf Alexander. He was 27 years old, from Skara parish. He left for New York 30th of September 1881. He was alone. Maybe it's him?
Then I checked Hjo parish and listed all the persons that emigrated from that parish in 1881. I only could find one Ekström and that is the man who Tomas mentioned above. There were no Anderson or Gustavson or Karlsson at that time.

Tomas and Anne,
 
Thank you both for the lookups.  The F. O. Ekstrom you found is probably Frans, who had just turned 17 on Nov 2, 1881.  And Gustaf Alexander was 10 years older, but the last residence I show him at was Agnetorp.  Again, thank you.
