There is no direct ship’s passenger list or immigration record in the provided search results specifically naming Charles Myrtengren (also known as Charles Green) of Bishop Hill, Illinois. However, several important facts can be established from the context:

  • Charles Myrtengren (Charles Green) was part of the Bishop Hill Colony, a Swedish communal settlement founded in 1846 by religious dissidents from Sweden136.
  • The Bishop Hill immigrants traveled in organized groups, and most early settlers arrived between 1846 and 1850, often with official Swedish exit permits (utflyttningsbetyg) and were recorded in Swedish parish and American church records2.
  • Charles is listed in multiple Bishop Hill histories and commemorative publications as a member of the colony and as one of its Civil War casualties35.
  • While Swedish emigrant and parish records often included details such as exit permits and arrival dates2, the search results do not provide a specific ship name, date, or manifest listing for Charles Myrtengren.

Summary:

  • Charles Myrtengren’s immigration to Bishop Hill is well-documented in historical and genealogical sources as part of the Swedish migration to the colony.
  • A specific ship’s record or passenger list for Charles Myrtengren is not found in the provided sources. For further details, searching Swedish parish exit records or specialized emigrant databases may be necessary2.

If you are seeking an actual passenger list or ship manifest, you may need to consult Swedish parish records (utflyttningsbetyg), the Swedish Emigrant Institute, or U.S. arrival records from the late 1840s, as these often contain the most detailed information for Bishop Hill settlers2.
