Kruger/Krüger and Borgen
jurnieHow do I go about figuring out what ship someone came over on. My Great Great Grandparents Immigrated in 1864 but have no clue on the ship and all. what Can I do Their names are Wilhelm Friman Koren Christie Krüger ( He dropped the Umlots when in states) and his wife Tore Torsdatter (Borgen) Krüger ( we knew here as Thora) and theirDaughter Hannah Severine Kruger [?] Thank you
askeroiThe name Krüger was mostly spread in Bergen, Hordaland at that time - coming from german immigrants. Unfortunately the digital archivs of emmigrants starts 1874. You are shure about 1864? I'm asking as there was a guy with exactly the same name leaving Bergen in 1890: http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=EMIBERG&variabel=0&postnr=27452&fulle=true&spraak=n
askeroiNo, it's probably not the same guy as there's no sign of any Tora or Hannah. Sorry, was too eager to help!
jurnieYes that is my 4th Great Grandfather Wilhelm. and Yes we have found statements from verious cousins and all where they stated 1864.

jurnieLord, Sorry no that is my 1st cousin 3rd time remove. His father is my 2nd Great Grandfathers brother. They named him after him. WE got the date from relatives and from the Norwegian Bygdabook [:)] " Yes that is my 4th Great Grandfather Wilhelm. and Yes we have found statements from verious cousins and all where they stated 1864."
