Generation: 2

  1. 2.  Carl Wilhelm Alsen Descendancy chart to this point (1.Pehr1) was born 05 Apr 1863, Västra Vingåker, Floda, Södermanland, Sweden; died 1956, Arlington, Middlesex Co. MA.

    Notes:

    Swedish birth records list him as Carl Wilhelm Ersson, Carl Wilhelm Pehrsson, and Carl Wilhelm Persson.

    In 1901 a law required people to adopt permanent surnames to be passed onto successive generations. Before that time, most Swedish surnames are patronymic. Patronymic surnames changed with each generation. His father's name was Pehr Ersson, but under the Swedish naming system, Carl's last name would have been Pehrsson [Pehr's son] or Persson [Pers' son]. while a sister would be known as Pehrsdotter (daughter of Pehrs). When people used patronymics, a woman did not change her name at marriage.

    The leads to the confusion that Carl was known as Pehrsson, Persson or Petterson not Alsen when he left Sweden. He was the son of Pehr Ersson. For his naturalization record in 1893 he dropped the Swedish naming system and used used his father's last name, but evidently changed it from Ersson to Alsen.

    IMMIGRATION

    According to his wife's passport application, Carl came to the US on the USS Catalonia, operated by the Cunard Line. Launched on May 14, 1881, the ship operated between Liverpool and Boston until 1889. It could carry 200 first-class passengers and 1,500 third-class passengers. Most likely Carl came as a third class passenger.

    His own naturalization application indicated he arrived in Boston on 27 Aug 1887.

    From Sweden

    During the peak of the emigration, ships left from Göteborg every week, usually on Friday afternoon. Once underway, the trip to Hull took about 40 to 50 hours. The ships usually approached the eastern coast of England during the day or early evening of the following Sunday. The primary port city was Kingston-upon-Hull, commonly referred to as Hull. It was the home of the Wilson Line, which owned these three ships. The final hours of the journey took the immigrants up the River Humber where they would dock at the wharf.
