My name is Shannon Hultgren (9yrs old). My great great grandfather also jumped ship from a vessel that travelled from Sweden. I don't know his name, but will ask my grandpa Frank Hultgren when I see him next. My grandpa's family of Hultgren's settled in Victoria Australia. Grandpa and Nanny then travelled to Perth Western Australia in 1968 after giving birth to my dad, Darren Hultgren. I would like to find out if your family tree connects with mine in some way (unless jumping ship was a way of life for young Swedish men in those early days). Hope to hear from you.
P.S. My dad helped me write this!!! :0)
