Persons with the surname "Windahl" who emigrated from Sweden to the U.S.A.

Source:
"Databasen Emigranten" (CD-ROM). Issued by the national emigration archives:
"Landsarkivet i Göteborg", Box 19035, S-40012 Gothenburg, Sweden, Phone Sweden 31-778 68 00
"Emigrantregistret" in Karlstad, Sweden.
"Svenska Emigrantinstitutet", Box 201, S-35104 Växjö, Sweden. Phone Sweden 470-20120.

Spelling:
As the spelling differs in official archives, persons with the following spellings are included:
Windahl, Windal, Vindahl, Vindal and the misspelling Wiedahl.

Comments:
When America is written as Parish, it means that the person had emigrated before or had a Swedish citizenship. He had because of this been noted by the Customs when he left Sweden again .
Most of the emigrants were noted as going alone, even if they had been in company with somebody. Maybe they didn't want their company to be official.
Age means -exact age- at the day of emigration.
With the help of the Code it is possible to get more information, e.g. if the emigrant had bought his ticket himself, or if it was prepaid, and the name of the ship.
With these facts, which you can receive from "Landsarkivet i Göteborg ", you can get much more information about the emigrant in the U.S.A., e.g. the amount of money he had, health, physics and the address to those that he was going to.
