A Sissa JACOBSDOTTER, age 34, sailed from Malmö 03-MAY-1888 (year is from the book cover). Home was listed as America and destination as Denver, Colorado. Police register number column is missing but the number was written on first line of contract # column: 2242; contract # 6093 03-MAY. If this is the same person, she had already been to America and established residence there!
