PeeblesI am searching for info. on my ggrandmother , Olivia, (Olava) Ericksdatter , who was born may 21, 1850 in Norway. She came to Redwing mn. in 1869 with a baby named Emil. She married Lars Ronning in Minneapolis, mn. on may 6, 1875,and died 19 march 1911 in Fergus Falls, mn.
TrondOlivia Eriksdatter 22 and Emil Jacobsen 2,5 arrived in Quebec 1872 on the [url="http://www.norwayheritage.com/p_list.asp?jo=506"]bark Edda[/url] from Christiania/Oslo. She was most likely in company with Anton Andersen 29 and Petra Eriksdatter 23 (sister?) for the journey.
HopkinsThe database of emigrants from Oslo (1867-1930) indicates that Olivia Eriksdatter (age 22) and Emil Jacobsen (age 2 1/2) previously resided in Vinger, Hedmark, Norway. http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=EMIOSLO&gardpostnr=24241&merk=24241&tid=18:41:05#ovre There is a young woman of approximately the right age living in Vinger at the time of the 1865 Norwegian census - http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=f60421&gardpostnr=891&personpostnr=5539&merk=5539&tid=18:46:52#ovre
PeeblesThankyou for the info re my ggrandmother Olivia Erikson. The dates were taken from her obituary, but as time goes by memories of dates fade. I actually did have the Olivia Eriksdatter from Vinger as a possibility. Marilyn
