Jeppa Bengtsson moved to North America, Sycamore, Illinois in 1884-04-17. He went with a steamer from Mjällby to the city of Malmö in the province of Skåne. From Malmö to Copenhagen in Denmark and further on to the USA. He went by the White Star Line (Vita Stjärnlinjen or in old Swedish spelling: Hvita Stiernlinien). The actual ship is not mentioned, but as I can see on the internet, 1885 the ships were called, Belgic, Gaelic and Cufic.
