Herman Alfred Larson was my grandfather. He emigrated from Goteborg to
Newport Wales [UK] in the late 1800's. He was a marine engineer [merchant
seaman] who fell out with his step mother in Goteborg, went to sea, and
eventually met and married my grandmother - Annie Pye - in Newport [Wales].

Does anyone know anything about him. I would like to make contact with any
family in Sweden.

Is there a database of seamen who sailed from Goteborg in the 19th century?
