According to the family history, Maria travelled with her then boyfriend, Per Olofsson/Per Palm to the U.S., arriving on 2 Dec 1889 (they married after arriving).He was born as Per Olofsson on 17 Feb 1867 in Torrlosa and took the name of Per Palm when he went into the Swedish Army in 1886.He was allegedly discharged in Oct 1889 and then presumably, they both immigrated to the U.S.Immigration papers indicate the arrival date as on/about 2 Dec 1889.
