I believe that our Grandparents were on the SS Danmark in April of 1889. The Danmark sunk and the SS Missouri picked up the passengers and went to the St. Micheals island, from there to Philadelphia, US. They were supposed to go to New York, US. Due to weather had to get to port as soon as possible.
Passengers were:
Joseph Pearson..born 9-16-1862 in Malmo, Sweden..his wife Ellen Victor Pearson..born 11-15-1864 also in Malmo, Sweden.
Two small girls..Helma 11-1-1885 and Selma 9-26-1887.
They were on their way to Minnesota, US. Thank you for your time, DoLaNels@aol.com
