Laurdal 1870 Passenger List
chrisBorge, I am pretty sure that the passenger named Elisabeth with her son's Thorwald and Carl and the servant Emma are the Wattner's. 1. The census says her husband Adolph arrived in the U.S before the rest of the family. 2. I have a letter saying they left Norway April of 1870. 3. Emma Berg is living with them in the NY census of 1870. All the ages match. I have no idea why she was listed as a widow, I guess they saw her with two children and no man. Also in the "additional information" from the microfiche does it have any info about the rest of the passengers? Curious why it stopped on #37 (if I remember right) Thank you
