I need help locating this ancestor who left from Sweden to America and disappeared. Here is what I k
Hanna Person was born in Ignaberga,Kristianstad, June 6, 1857 (not July 6 as in some church books). She did spend time as pregnant in Vinslöv, but moved back to mom and dad in Västra Torup during 1877. I have a copy of her son Anton's birth in the birth book of Västra Torup, April 18, 1877. Hanna leaves for Denmark with her son and the next time he shows up in the church books is in Husförhörslängd 1890-1900 for Gråmanstorp as a foster son of Johannes Wilhelm and Ingrid Hertzberg. No trace from the whereabouts of Hanna. The name Hanna Persdotter is so common in Denmark and Sweden during this time. Danish church books, ship logs and immigration lists in America is are full of people with this name and I have found no way to positively identify one as Hanna. This is because only age is documented, not birth date and place. I have also tried some detective work. Hanna's sister Bengta Persdotter bought a ticket from Malmo to Galesburg, America April 28, 1881. My idea was that if Hanna leaves on her own, she will first go to her sister. There are so Many Hanna Perssons so Because of her name, she needs to be identified by birth place and birth date. In addition, most likely, she has either changed last name or married into another name. My mother Lizzie Hanna (maiden name Hertzberg), daughter of Anton and still alive and well at age 93, started to look for Hanna 60 years ago. I have tried to find Hanna and/or Bengta in the US Federal Census but could not identify either one. Where should I go?

You state that Bengta Persdotter bought a ticket to go to Galesburg America on 28 April 1881. Have you found her on a passenger list coming into America that year?

I got that information from her great grandson and took it at face value. I'll ask him if he has seen or has a copy of the document .

Peter sent me something that i think was a ship record though I'd never seen anything like it before. He sent a picture which I tried to copy to send to you but this is what I got:

Peter Stromberg
I have valuable information from Peter Stromberg, the young man who is trying to find this ancestor we share but when I try to copy and paste it in for you it only accepts his name, "Peter Stromberg", The rest of the letter won't paste. Why is that and what should I do?

That makes no sense to me. You could do a screen shot and save that and add it to your reply as an image.
