change of names
vjoan	Using the digitalarkivet, I found my grandparents names listed as saeteren, in june of 1910. Their agents name was Bennett and the ship was the Aaro out of Norway. I cannot find them arriving at ellis island. My question is would they arrive with the same name they had purchased their tickets in? Sounds strange but???
Borge	Hi vjoan Charles Bennett was the agent of 5 different lines in 1910. Allan & State Line (my tip!) Pacific Line Penisular & Oriental Line Royal Mail Line Union-Castle Line My tip is that they had tickets on the Allan Line, as that was the most popular of the lines he represented. His authorization was: Conveyance of emigrants via Hull to Liverpool and from there to New York or Boston, and to Quebec or Montreal The Allan Line opreated the following lines in 1910: Glasgow - Philadelphia Glasgow - Portland - New York Glasgow - St Johns - Quebec - Montreal Liverpool - Halifax - St John Liverpool - Quebec - Montreal London - Quebec - Montreal You should start looking for a Canadian arrival (Quebec), as that is the most used route, then maybe Boston or Philadelphia Btw, the e-mail you registered is not working: (VJSluder@msn.c) Børge Solem
vjoan	My correct email address is VJSluder@msn.com I am sorry for that.I have been working on finding the ships name my grandparents took leaving england. AS I said they were on the arro out of norway, how do I go about finding the ship they boarded in england?
Borge	You have to start looking at passenger lists. If you can't find them at the Ellis Island site of arrivals to new York, I would start looking for a Canadian arrival first. You will find a lot of info regarding this in this article about "Hunting Passenger Lists": http://www.norwayheritage.com/ships/em-prot.htm Børge Solem
