Hi Carol,

I am mystified by the Jackson county part of your Swedish location. There is no Jackson county in Sweden. Look at these maps (county and province) of Sweden.

I suppose that "Oby" might be Ödeby (a parish in Örebro county) and "Nark" is probably "Närke" province. "Orebro Lane" is Örebro län (county).

I found this person on the Emibas CD, made from registrations in the Swedish parish to go to a foreign country.

From the Emihamn database of CD Emigranten, made from registrations with the Swedish port police before leaving Sweden:

It doesn't seem that he would have landed in New York City in 1869, however.
