Seeking Kirstin Brue or others with knowledge of this incident. My great-grandfather's sister is (according to Danish records) on this ship. But I have been unable to locate her here in the States. Her maiden name was Maren Poulsen Ostergaard and she might have traveled with her boyfriend or meeting him here in the States. She was bound for Schuyler, Nebraska.
Kristin Brue's article mentions a passager list, so I am looking for her.
Any help is appreciated.

| safh | Susanne,
There is a passenger list in the article in the Philadephia Inquirer, April 23, 1889. I am sorry to say my copy of the list only goes through Olsen, probably because our ancestors on the Danmark are Holdahl. The cousin who copied the article probably felt no need to go further. I am sure you can get a copy of the article at the library. Happy Hunting.

| KinaAndersen | I have now communicated with two people whose direct relative or spouse's relative was on the SS Danmark with my great-grandfather, Johan Wilhelm Andersen (originally Andreassen in Oslo before names were "standardized" in the 1850s I believe). Latest one was this week. I think most of us are the great-grandchildren of people on that ship. My great-grandpa ended up in Chicago, where the rest of us Andersens started then in America.
Please contact me if you like. I am interested in finding some of the relatives of the people on that ship. Why, I'm not sure. I will be going to Norway for the 100-year anniversary of 17 May in 2005.
