Help! this is my first time. I am looking for my husbands family they lived in Kopparbergs Sweden. They boarded ship in 1902 with 5 children that landed in Boston Mass. His grandfathers name was Isaks Erik Eriksson wifes name Brita Adamsson. He wrote that he was given a solders name and that was Krans and that is the name he kept and gave his children. If anyone can lead me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.

You might want to read Hunting Passenger Lists introduction article, there you will find reference to the Swedish emigration CD, where the answer might be found. You probably will have to purchase it if you can't get anyone to do a lookup for you.
