I am looking for information on my grandmother mothers brother (FMM brother). Olof Axel Edström born 7 mars in Sunnansjö Fjällsjö, parish Sweden.

Olof Axel Edström left Gothenburg 23 Julie 1869 and had a ticket to Chicago. He was unmarried and 24 years old and he went alone.
The first Steam ship Albion goes from Gothenburg to Hull in England and
there he takes a train to Liverpool and a new ship to New York. Olof Axel Edstrom had one ship partner Anders Daniel Sundqvist born 22 January 1845 in Sunnansjö Fjällsjö parish, Sweden. I found him in the death book he dead 6 Julie 1870 in Memphis (Fjällsjö C:4) . I don’t know what he dead of?

When I was in Gothenburg in the County records office and looked in the passenger’s list I found more people from same aria (Västernorrlands län). The name of this people was Erika Westerlund, maid 21 years old and born in Helgum parish, Sweden and Anna B Olofsdotter, maid 24 years old born in Helgum parish, Sweden. These two girls had tickets to Chicago.

1726 A.D Sundqvist, labourer. Fjällsjö parish.
1727 Erika Westerlund maid Helgum parish.
