chefmegan101	I am pretty new to this- I need some help [:I] *ship/date (I've searched and searched...) *why wife died in Aust-Agder, if they immigrated to US *any additional stuff[:I][:I] Here's some of what I know (from familysearch.org) They're from Krodsherad, Buskerud, Sigdal Parish BJORN TRULSEN RUND (1854-1931) married HANNAH STORMO in 1880, in Norway They immigrated to South Dakota. Had my great grandpa, Clarence Rund. Let me know if you need additional information- I have it
jwiborg	Hi, Bjørn Trulsen Ruud left Oslo on May 2nd, 1879: [url="http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=EMIOSLO&post_nr=47771&vispostnr=47771#a0"]click here[/url] He is 24 years old, from Krødsherred and was headed for Clinton, Wisconsin. Krødsherad in Buskerud county was until 1959 under Sigdals parish in Buskerud. [url="http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=f60621&gardpostnr=1037&personpostnr=5758#knappar"]census 1865[/url] From LDS: Birth:16 APR 1854, Christening: 07 MAY 1854, Krødsherad, Buskerud, Norway I believe Bjørn and Hannah got married in Dakota. Here is Hannah Storma (18) in the 1880-census for Hamlin county in Dakota: [url="http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=DAKO1880&gardpostnr=9714&personpostnr=9714#a0"]click here[/url] Furter down on that page you'll find 4 people called Rund, which could be of Bjørns family. There is one called "Bent" there, could that be Bjørn? I could not locate Bjørn in the 1880-census fro Wisconsin. Jan Peter
chefmegan101	Thanks so much Jan- that is alot of help. Whew! Bent or Ben T. might be Rund, I believe so. Thanks. I appreciate it. Is there anyway to find the ship name?? Megan Foster
jwiborg	Hi Bjørn went by the ship [url="http://www.norwayheritage.com/p_route.asp?ro=W17"]S/S Hero (2)[/url], travelling Christiania (Norway) - Christiansand (Norway) - Hull (England). From Hull probably by train to Liverpool and from there by [most likely] one of [url="http://www.norwayheritage.com/t_corresp.asp?id=884"]these[/url] ships. Jan
Jo Anne Sadler	Found this is the New York Immigration database: S/S Republic, from Liverpool & Queenstown, arriving New York Harbor on May 19, 1879: Anna Rund, 20, servant, steerage, from Denmark Ingri Rund, 20, servant, steerage, from Denmark In another place on the list: K. T. Rund, 24, farmer, steerage, from Denmark (K could be B) Ivah (this just was unreadable) Rund, 19, farmer, steerage, from Denmark. The mixing up of countries of origin between Norway, Sweden & Denmark is very common and also mistakes in ages, etc. is common.
jwiborg	Hi, Bjørn travelled with his 3 siblings, Truls, Anne & Ingrid! Leaving Oslo on May 2nd, 1879: [url="http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=EMIOSLO&gardpostnr=47771&personpostnr=47771#a0"]Bjørn Trulsen Ruud[/url], male unmarried, worker, 24 from Krødsherred, destination: Clinton Wisc.

chefmegan101	Thanks for all the information guys, you all got back to me sooner than expected. Are the ship passenger lists for Bjorn & his siblings online where I can access them? It really isn't a big deal, but I was just curious.... Again, thanks for your help Megan[:D][:D]
jwiborg	Hi Megan, All my info in my postings contain links, just click on them and it will take you to the passenger lists for the ship S/S Hero (2),leaving Oslo. They changed ship in England, and crossed the Atlantic with the S/S Republic. Jo Anne can prob. tell you where she found the New York Immigration database.... [:)] Jan
Jo Anne Sadler	The list is available online through a paid subscription to Ancestry.com or the microfilm can be rented at a local family history center. It is always nice to get a copy of the actual record.[:)]
