I have no idea, but more questions. You say that Alma wasn´t Swedish, but perhaps her parents? Had she been to Sweden for a visit - and then met Signe, as a neighbour or distant relative to someone? Search for her in passenger lists? Signe could have responded to an ad, I Think that was common. I suppose you know about Signe´s Swedish family, is there anyone emigrated to US earlier? Maybe something is said about her leaving in the parish books, have you checked that? (Another question: Is you right about Alma born 1871 and her husband 1843 - has nothing to do with your entry I guess.) Just what is on my mind for now. /Marianne
