trying to find

We are trying to find what happened to Alfred Johansson Svarfvar from Pörtom. Born June 9 1881. He came to Massachusetts in 1904, visited his brother John Johnson and was never heard from again. Have tried Family Search and Ancestry with many name variations.

As you can see from the communion books, he moved from Pirttikylä to Mustasaari in 1901:

Unfortunately the Mustasaari move in records have not been digitized yet, so finding him there would mean going through all 1328 pages of the 1897-1906 communion book... It's possible, that he returned there after his visit with his brother in 1904. Or he might have returned home. You could ask the Närpiö parish to check their records of him since Pirttikylä communion books have only been digitized up to 1901. Like in the case of the death date, they are likely to charge for the information.
