Emigrant Information Abraham Valentinsson born Borstig

[Candace Roberts]

I am looking for emigration information on Abraham Vallentinsson born 1815 Borstig to Vallentin Vallentinsson and Maja Andersdotter. I have found him and his family in Chicago on the 1880 census records. I believe he came to America with his wife Lotta Gustafsdotter and at least 3 children...Carl Gustaf Wilhelm, Maria, and Vilhelmina Christina. There may be more children. I am not sure of the year he emigrated but believe it to be sometime in the 1860's.  
 
Any help with information on this family would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the information. I know emigration records in 1863 were not as detailed as those kept in later years, so I will look further in USA records for anything on their arrival. I wonder what the details on the 1870 census records list for the family.
 
Again thanks for the help.

Hi,
 
Please look at my website Emigrant.se - http://www.emigrant.se. A website about emigration from Falköping area. You may find info you looking for. The website has those who are found emigrants. That means that it's those who have been reported in to the Falbygden Gen Soc. You can look at the parish they where born in and find info about when and where they died.  
 
The website is both in swe and eng.
