EMMIGRATION form
Julita During
the last three decades of the 19th century nearly
500 persons emigrated from Julita - most of them
to United States.That was almost 20% of the
population in Julita.
There are of course more
emigrants that was born in Julita, but don´t
traveled directly from Julita abroad. About them
we have only a fragment of knowledge. A few of
them are know thanks to information from
relatives.
Lars Pettersson,
former president of Julita Local Historical
Society, did some research about emigrants from
Julita in the 70ths. The list of emigrants on
these pages are basically the result of his
(hard) work. Thanks Lars!
