gg grandparents
saami	Hello everyone! I have been lucky, as I beleive I have found both of my gg grandparents departure from Norway from the Digitalarkivert website. gg grandfather: Parelius Ols Hindrun, left Trondheim March 11 th, 1897. He was 23 yrs old. Destination, Cottonwood, Minn. Line, Allan. Ship, Juno. His ticket was purchased in Amerika. gg grandmother: Johanna I Haanes, left Trondheim May 24 th, 1905. She was 21 yrs old. Destination, Virginia, Minn. Line, Allan. Ship, Tasso. Ticket purchased in Trondheim. I have read the information on this website and realize that the ships my relatives left Norway from, were feeders ships and they would have left Liverpool or Southhampton on a different ship. I need assistance with finding out which ships they left England. I have visited the S.A.F.E. website and have an idea which ships arrived in the time frame my gg parents would have arrived in America but I still don't have a clue how to find this out what ships they left on from Engalnd. Please HELP!!!! Saami
fteleglow	Hello, I have the same question. My grandfather Kristofer Torgers. Eie left Oslo July 14, 1905 for Wisconsin on the Montebello to Hull. From there, somehow to the States (I think) and then up to Canada. What is the S.A.F.E. website? I couldn't find him on Ellis Island - did you look there for yours? (www.ellisisland.org) Otherwise, if any of them actually came to Canada first, you'll have to request the appropriate reels of arrivals from the National Archives (www.archives.ca) on Inter Library Loan from your local library. They just go by port and year; there's no name index for that time period. If you don't know the port, you just have to guess and go through them all, which is a drag.
saami	Hi Fern. I found the S.A.F.E. informative. The website is. http://www.cimorelli.com/cgi-bin/safescripts/ship_date.asp?... Yes I have searched the Ellis Island website but I was aslo unable to find my gg grandparents. I also have gone into the other site
Brining	Hi They probably arrived in Canada, especially Johanna since a lot of the people listed on the boat with her were going there. It was not an uncommon route to take to get to America. If you look under links to external resources below you will find a couple of links to Canadian emigration. Parelius' departure date is Nov. 3 1897. The european way of listing dates is day month year, can get confusing [:)] Carla
fteleglow	Hi Saami - I've put in an interlibrary loan request for the passenger reels into Quebec covering the summer of 1905 - it won't come for months I suppose but I'll look for my grandfather then. Depending where you live, there might be a library close by that owns those reels if you want to check it out. I'll look for Johanne when mine comes and let you know if I find her!
Brining	Hi They all sailed with the Allen line out of England. Here is a list of the Allan line ships in 1905 [url="http://www.norwayheritage.com/p_line.asp?ag=allan&ye=1905"]Click Here[/url] and 1897 [url="http://www.norwayheritage.com/p_line.asp?ag=allan&ye=1897"]Click Here[/url] That might help narrow the search down some.

saami	Thank you everyone. Your response is greatly appreciated. I just love doing family research. With the assistance and experience of others, it hasn't been as frustrating to find info on family members. Thanks again. Vickie
