I am searching the opposite direction so to speak.
It would be very intersting to find out what happen to Hilda mentioned below! (Well, all of her sibblings and there descendents are of interests, if someone in Sweden knows anything about them?)
 
The sea pilot Abraham Pettersson Berg (born around 1830) and his wife Elisabeth Eliasdotter they lived at a seapilot farmhouse (lotshemman) called Kullen (at least Abraham was born there)outside Gothenburg (Göteborg) Käringberget (Älfsborgs parish/ Västra Frölunda). Their youngest daughter (there were 8 children in all) called Hilda probably her surname then was Abrahamsdotter Berg!?  
 
Hilda Abrahamsdotter Berg emigrated to Canada (alone?) there is no husband mentioned or children, like it is with the other sibblings. (It says if they were married or not or had children, kindly se below!) as it says in a handwritten record from some ancestor of mine (I do not know whom) no one ever heard from her again...
 
This is the generation they either froze their patronymicon or choosed another name!  
 
Her sibblings where  
 
1. Nathanael Lindel seapilot (no children)
2.Emanuel Berg (2 children)
3.Frans Lind (several children!)
4.David Abrahamsson (unmarried) seapilot
5.Josef Abrahamsson (unmarried) seapilot
6.Gustav Abrahamsson (unmarried) seapilot
7.Maria married to Vidén (several children)
and
8.Hilda (emigrated to Canada, no one heard from her again)

Where in Canada?
Perhaps she can be found in a church record.

Hi Chuck Maki:
 
Yes probably she must be in church records or imigration documents etc. But how to reach these archieves in Canada? I have no idea where in Canada she moved to, as it said in the handwritten text: emigrated to Canada, no one heard from her again. i got currious about this woman, because it seems like she has taking her destiny in her own hands. I do not know anything more about this relative than this words above. she also could have married a sailor from there but it doesn´t say so in the note.  
This family were sailors, seacaptains and sea pilots since centuries and had also married to foreign sailors before or foreign girls from families working in that branch aswell.  
But this seems to be a bit different. It seems she has made a decision herself which must have been uncommon for a girl still during that era (1880´s or 1890´s.?)  
Her religion must have been lutheran evangelical (which was the state religion) but during that era the new different sects begun to spread in Sweden.  
My grandfather has written some documentary books about sailors, sailing the seas and ship trading etc.(Hilda was his cousin) he never mentioned her in the more autobiographical parts of the books, but he wrote some critical stories, how the new religious ideas and believes were spreading amongst sailors (he was an atheist himself).  
could she possibly have followed a preacher for instance? Well these are possibilities I start collecting, so I will know where to start looking.  
Maybe someone else have some other ideas about her disapearance. Maybe she even died at sea?, It wasn´t uncommon!
Sincerely Yours: Steve
