About Lars Bäckström

Lars 22 år åkte från Göteborg med sin lillebror Johan 16 år plus en Carl Bergendahl 38 år, Årsunda till New York via Liverpool den 12 Maj 1881. Båten hette Marsdin, byggd i Hull, England. Destination var Marquette, Michigan. Denna stad ligger vid Lake Michigan inte långt från Minnesota gräns. Lars flyttade sen till Pipestone, Minnesota. Han gifte sig med en Christina, fick 6 barn varav ett var troligtvis dött från födelsen. Bror Anders emigrerade 29 Mars 1889 fråm Göteborg. Han åkte med båten "City of Paris" från Liverpool 3 April med ankomst till NY 11 April. Detta var 1:a resan "C of Paris" och blev den snabbaste. C o P innehade "Blue Ribbon" vid ett flertal tillfällen dvs snabbast över Atlanten. Anders hade destination Pipestone så det var så jag fann Lars. Anders flyttade sen vidare, dog i Seattle, Washington, gift med Lottie. Johan är åter i Sverige i folkbokföringen 1900, men sen försvinner han. Ej död i Sverige.
