Clarification of "Remarks" note.
In this household survey entry, about Anders Andersson b. 1855, there is a note in the reputation and remarks column about going to Amerika with a date of 20 Apr 1880.
I would like to know what it says exactly.
Anders was moved to page 474 in 1882, which is Personer utan stadigt eller kandt hemvist -- persons without addresses. So I'm assuming he did go to America. But are there any helpful hints in that note?
Thank you in advance!

It appears to me that a "frejdb(etyg), aka. frägdbetyg" (reputation certificate) was sent to Malmö on 20 April 1880. According to the Sweden Wiki page, there are 13 parishes in Malmö, so it may be a bit difficult to find where in Malmö the certificate as sent to.
The other part I am going to have to make a guess at, but it looks like the priest wrote "rest till Amerika". "Förrest" in Swedish is "departed" or "gone away". So I am thinking that it means he "departed to Amerika".
If you try "rest till Amerika" in Google translate, you get "traveled to America" as the result, so I am thinking that is what it says.
