Nils Andersen Aasberget
NancyCI am trying to find out which ship my great-grandfather sailed on to the USA. He was born 11 Mar 1836 and is registered as moving to the USA on 18 Apr 1854. His family lived at Stokkset farm in Furnes, Hedmark, until they were forced to sell it, after which they lived at Aasberget. Nils can be found at this link.

I have not been able to find him on any ships' lists I have found. Perhaps someone can help? Nils eventually became Nels A. Nelson and settled at Lansing, Alamakee County, Iowa. Thanks for any help!
HopkinsYou might try the Galveston records too... I've heard that there might be some online through a Texas based site - but I don't have a URL.
