The name/word “Cack” makes no sense, but perhaps the C should be pronounced as S (“Sack”) and that might be a nickname for a Zachary/Zack – and he was just unsure how that was spelled? Was there any Zachary or Zack in your family? Or Swedish “Zacharias” / “Sakarias”?
Sweden has an extensive public database of people who left sweden for the americas in the early 1900s if you are interested in your ancestry here. All you need is a name and you can probably find them in.

Edit: first and surname, you might be able to find pictures and other interesting tidbits on your ancestors. I have had the fortune of having a grandmother that went through my entire ancestry and family tree from as far back as 1600s using these documents and some others.
This was fascinating to read! Thank you for sharing.
My mother pointed out that ”Cack” could be ”Cäck”, and ”Käck” is a more common namn in sweden (about 900 people have it as a last name as of today.
The reason she believes this is because the author does not use dots over some other ”a” that are supposed to be spelled that way. So ”ä” instead of ”a”.
