Looking for Anders Pehrsson from Ystad, Skåne

[Dennis Skinner]

I am looking for Anders Pehrsson born 6 June 1859 in Ystad(we do not know the parish) whose father was Pehr Anderson and mother Cecelia or Christina.  Anders emigrated from Sweden in the 1880's (1882).  He had sisters Hilda, Ellen Marie and a brother Martin.  It is also thought that Anders had another brother who was a seaman (captain?)who emigrated some time before Anders.  Ander's wife's name was Anna Andersson who we believe emigrated in 1880.  They did not marry, however, until they were in the USA.  If anyone has information that would confirm or correct these data, we would be pleased to know it.

Hej Dennis,
 
I have found an Anders Persson Ekberg, born 6 June
1859 in Ekeby parish, farm Ekeby No 8(?), before he was soldier. 26 April 1881 he left Sweden for Amerika from just the place Ekeby No 8. 21 years old, unmarried and alone trawling away.
 
Ekeby is a parish near Helsingborg.
 
Best wishes
Ake

Ake,
Thank you for the fast reply to my posting on the Rötter message board. The match in dates is compeling, but according to my family sources Anders Perhsson was from the Ystad area and they know of no Ekberg. So, I think we don't have the right person. Since I've seen your name a number of times on other message boards, I feel I know you a little. Thank you for your interest and effort.  Denny
