No one person has access to all the possible databases to help in Swedish research. I own a lot, but there are plenty of databases I don't have any access to and there are plenty of questions I don't have the experience or language skills to answer.It is best to post on the SWEDEN forum. Type Sweden into the "Jump to Forum" space at the top right of this page.
This could be John O. Lander before he took the Lander last name. The O could be Olofsson/Olsson = son of Olof/Olaus/Ola.

This could be the Carl Ottosson leaving from Ryr parish that you found on Emihamn.

My version of Emihamn lists his port departure this way. (You have him leaving from a modern county.)

Ancestry.com, I've been told, copied the entire "Emigranten Populär CD (which also contains Emihamn) onto their website. Note, however, that the county on my version of that same cd lists county P. (Your version lists the MODERN name for three counties called Älvsborg, Skaraborg, and Göteborg och Bohus. I don't know why Ancestry.com did that, since our ancestors did not live in modern times.) They changed the county from the P used on the version they copied. (It truly makes no sense that Ancestry.com did that. You can look and look for the rest of your life and not find records listed under the modern name of that county.)

The August Ottosson you found who left through a port in Copenhagen (Köpenhamn), Denmark, was probably not connected to the man leaving from Sundals Ryr parish. He appears to be this person from an entirely different part of Sweden.

Steer your friends to the Sweden forum. They need to ADVERTISE their ancestors. (Every once in a while, there is a Swede who responds to a message saying that the person is in their ancestry. I've seen this happen quickly and I've also seen this happen after a few years.)
Also steer them to the Swenson Swedish Immigration Research Center. They don't have online records but their archive is exceptional. They have records which are difficult or even impossible to find elsewhere. They do have a website telling about some of their holdings, but we need to go there to research or pay them to research for us.
