Notes for Nils* Gustaf (Spouse 1)
At the age of 19, Nils embarked on a maritime journey as a sailor (General Service) aboard the SS Nordic. The vessel departed from Seattle and transited through San Francisco, arriving in Brisbane on October 2, 1925.

According to family lore, Nils experienced severe seasickness during the voyage to Australia, leading him to make the decision to forgo his return to Sweden.

Nils subsequently adopted the surname Rodstrom and resided in New South Wales, Australia, until his passing in 1986.
