Great tips, Judy.I have spent the past hour greatly expanding my knowledge of Wilhelm Ostman merely from the data you provided earlier.Having his full name made all the difference.That gave me his brothers and sisters from WorldConnect.I have a Christmas card his brother sent him in 1908.Now I can tell from the initials that is was from his younger brother Fredrik Daniel of Hudiksvall.
Family lore has my great-grandfather meeting Ostman after his ship hit a whale and sank.Apparently the two men sailed together for several years before my GGF married in 1881.Having the names of several ships Ostman was on may lead me to crew records showing where my GGF was in 1880 since he wasn't in the census that year.
I'm having a great time.Many thanks.
Jerry
