Hi,
I have just joined Familytreeforum. I am ignorant to family history search but now in front of a challence concerning my great grandfather. This person was borne in Sweden on the 19th century, moved to Finland, got married in Finland (and my grandmother was born) and by everybody's surprise took a ship to the US and left Finland for good. Since leaving Finland there are just 2 pieces of information: name of the ship he took and the date he arrived in the US. The next information is a note in Sweden archives where is a note that this person has died in the US. And the date of the death. Nobody knows nothing about this persons life in the US.
How to start searcing my great grandfather's US history? Did he get married again? Children? What did he do? Was he successfull? Did he acquire US citizenship?
All hints about starting the seach are truly appreciated.
