Emigrants from Grangärde (W) to Norway, Michigan USA

[Clyde Peterson]

I am interested in obtaining a list of all emigrants, individuals and or families who emigrated from Grangärde(W) to Norway, Michigan, USA from 1860 to 1930 if possible. Include dates, port of departure, and who was traveling together.
If you can do a part of this at a time, that is fine.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Clyde,
 
This is just the summary list from the Emigrant CD. The complete listing for each one is a lot to post. Did you have someone special in mind? I don't know how many entries would be before 1869 when the listings usually began, and there might be older spellings for Grangärde.

Hello Judy,
I am now interested in
Helling 'Hellsing' August 20 Grangärde (W) 1902
to Norway, Michigan.(Are there more details?)
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best Regards,
Clyde

[Sten Kumlin]

Clyde,
What exactly are you looking for? My vife is born Hellsing and therefore we got a book containing around 3200 Hellsings even American ones.

Sten,
I am trying to find August Hellsing's family in Grangårde (W). He is 20 years old when he emigrates to Norway, Michigan in 1902. He dies December 5, 1918 of influenza in Norway, Michigan at about 37 years of age. Thus he is probably born in 1881. I would like to find his actual date of birth, his parents and siblings.
He married my father's step father's sister in Norway , Michigan about 1904. Her name was Ellen Petersdotter, born May 20, 1882 in Varmland. I have her ancestors.

I looked up August at the archive today:
 
August Hälsing emigrated August 8, 1902, from Norra Räfvåla, Grangärde parish, to North America (Grangärde B:2 p48).
August was born January 1, 1882, in Södra Räfvåla, to parents Erik Jansson and Anna Karolina Jansson (Grangärde C:13 p61).
August's father, Erik Jansson, was born October 26, 1847, in Södra Räfvåla, to parents Jon Erik Andersson and Maja Stina Persdotter (Grangärde C:10 1847:178).
 
I found the whole family listed in Södra Räfvåla in 1882 (Grangärde AI:20a p144):
Crofter Helsing Jon Erik Andersson, born March 11, 1826, in Räfvåla, married April 5, 1847, to
Wife Maja Stina Persdotter, born March 10, 1827, in Räfvåla
Daughter Ida, born September 23, 1866, emigrated to North America in 1883
Son ... (didn't note his name)
 
Crofter's son Helsing Erik Jansson, born October 26, 1847, in Räfvåla, married March 28, 1875, to
Wife (Tall) Anna Karolina Jansson, born August 17, 1856, in Ljusnarsberg parish
Son August, born January 1, 1882, in Räfvåla
 
I think August had a number of siblings, but I don't know whether they too emigrated or stayed in Sweden. Ida Helsing (or Jansdotter) would thus be an aunt to August, but I don't know whether she went to Michigan or somewhere else.

[Lena Thelin]

Hello Clyde,
 
Regarding the cencus 1890 August had one sibbling and it was Karl Erik born in Grangärde 1875
 
in the cencus 1900 Anna was ded and the only sibbling was still Karl Erik.

[Anders Andersson]

Thanks for correcting me; I just realized that the page in the parish book where August was listed as the sole emigrant (Grangärde AIIa:1 p139) probably wasn't the one listing his family, but rather the one where he worked. Thus the non-emigrants I saw adjacent to his name weren't actually his siblings...
 
Anyway, there were a lot of people (dozens of them) emigrating from Grangärde to North America in 1902, and perhaps also in nearby years. There may still be relatives to August among them, like his aunt Ida who emigrated in 1883 (I haven't checked the migration record for her).
 
I know Clyde has been researching Grangärde for a long time, and as I have ancestors from Grangärde myself, I consider it likely that Clyde and I are related in one way or another. I have ancestors in Ljusnarsberg parish too, though that part of my tree is not very well researched yet.

[Clyde Peterson]

Hello Anders and Lena,
Thank you very much for the information. I really appreciate you help.
Best Regards,
Clyde

[Clyde Peterson]

Hello  Sten,
Is your wife related to these Hellsings that we are discussing?
Best Regards,
