Följande är citat från Shirley Heimer Hill (barnbarn till Clara)Hämtat från Ancestry.com: Arrival at Ellis Island, New York, May 12, 1902: My grandparents, Carl Heimer and Clara Carlsson were married in 1898, Their first son (our father) Filip was born in 1899 and a daughter, Elsa in 1901. Sadly, Elsa died of pneumonia at 1 ½ yearsold. So much sadness had happened to Carl and Clara in Sweden that they came to the conclusion; it was time to leave. It was April 23, 1902 in Sweden. My grandparents and my father boarded a boat from Gothenburg, Sweden to Hull England and then they took a train across England to Liverpool. Upon arrival at Liverpool, my family boarded the ship “The Saxonia”, which was to take them to America. Both Carl and Clara were 28 years old. Their son (my father) was two years old. They arrived at Ellis Island, New York on May 12, 1902 and found their way by train to where Clara’s sister lived in Pennfield, Pennsylvania. Their second son, Oscar Eva Heimer Carlsson was born on September 7, 1905 in Penfield, PA.
