The Immigrants Journey
The majority of Swedish emigrants after the late 1880's travelled by boat from Göteborg to Hull and then by train to Liverpool from which the journey continued with the big transatlantic passenger steamers.This is the route that my great grand-father, Nils P. Falkman took when he left Sweden. Headed to America. My great-grandmother on the other hand, travelled from Arbrä, to Göteborg. And then boarded a boat to Hamburg, Germany. And from Hamburg, by train to Bremen. And it was from Bremen that she sailed to America.
Here is another map that shows the may routes that have been taken by imagrents traveling from Europe to North America.By far the majority of Swedes came through Göteborg, to Hull England. Across England to Liverpool. And from there to the Americas
