PALMER Fred b.1901

[Richard Palmer]

Seeking information on my father Fred (Fredrik?) Arne PALMER born something between 14 May and 29 Dec 1901. His marriage license names parents as Fred PALMER and Emilia WILANDER. Other information indicates that they may have immigrated to Sweden from Finland, possibly under surname Palmu?, subsequently changed to PALMER. Father once stated that he was born in Finland, another time that birth was Stockholm. Additional information indicates that he attended highschool near Stockholm and that he was sole survivor of three children  
Since he married my mother in 1926 he probably emigrated to USA sometime between his sixteenth birthday (1917) and 1926. I was abandoned by him in New York City in Feb 1934 at four years of age.Unable to provide even a birth date for father. I have been unable to access appropriate passenger listings, passports, or even naturalization papers. Help is desperately needed if I am to initiate paternal ancestry research necessarily beginning with father.
