I loose family members when they immigrate to North America. For example:

Ronald H. Olson · February 16

3 sisters (Maja Kajsa Johannesdotter/GDTL-LY1/8 May 1864/Mary Johnson; Anna Sofia Johannesdotter/GDTL-GXK/26 July 1866/Anna Johnson; Augusta Johannesdotter/GDTL-VHM/30 August 1869/Augusta Johnson), each born in Holm, Älvsborg, Sweden, emigrated from Sweden as single women to: North America/7 March 1885; North America/7 March 1885; & Quebec/28 April 1893. After departing Sweden, I cannot reliably find them (immigration, marriage or census records) in North America or Quebec. Do you have suggestions of how I can reliably find them, especially if they married after arriving in North America or Quebec?

Comment: Anette appears to be offering to help with your 3 sisters lines - but I am unsure if she means the location in US or extending them further on ancestral lines. She appears to be a native Swedish speaker - you may need to use a translator to convert English to Swedish.

Thank you for responding. For each sister I provided their: full Swedish maiden name (e.g., Maja Kajsa Johannesdotter); Familysearch ID number (e.g., GDTL-LY1) Full birthdate (e.g., 8 May 1864); Anglicized maiden name (e.g., Mary Johnson); where they immigrated to (e.g., North America); and their full date emigrated from Sweden (e.g., 8 March 1885). Where I need help is after they arrive in North America. Thank you.

I have no expertise in Swedish immigration to US/Canada records - but thought I would do a quick check for Maja. On Ancestry I find:

It indicates Maja arrived in New York 29 May 1885. Perhaps the trail will continue under an Anglicised/Americanized name.

You may want to check with some specialized research groups here at FS Community:
