BorgeAdditional information received from Lois Gibson concerning passengers # 18 - 23 on the transcribed list: Ole Larson and wife Anne Stenersdatter and family came from gaard Rotneim in Gol, Hallingdal. Anne's sister Birgitta Rotneim came also. They were the sister of my great grandmother Sessil Stenersdatter Rotneim who came with her husband Daniel Johannesson Holum, Hallingdal, and family, Guro my grandmother and a boy Stener in 1850. The people mentioned were from Gol, Hallingdal, Buskerud. There were five sisters. Ragnhild Stenersdatter Rotneim, born 1813, married Knut Iverslein, and her family came to USA. Gunhild Stenersdatter, born 1824, married Niels Olson Finset, and the family remained in Aal, Hallingdal. The three sisters, Sissel Stenersdatter, born 1817, Anne Stenersdatter, born 1815, and Birgit Stenersdatter, born 1822, and their husbands emigrated to America and took up adjoining land on Section 17, in Taylor township, Allamakee County, Iowa, USA. It was a few miles from the Mississippi river. Their church was the Old East Paint Creek Church, which recently celebrated an anniversary. Birgit married Ole Knutson Stakke, also from Gol, Hallingdal. Sessil married Daniel Johannesson Hølun, of Hovet, Hol, Hallingdal and came with their son and my grandmother Guro Danielsdatter. Anne married Ole Larson Rotneim and came with their children. He was a teacher and farmer. The area had a large Norwegian settlement. My grandfather Hans Andreas Lageson and his three brothers, Niels, Martin and Johannes, also came to the Paint Creek area in 1853 and 1855. Their sister remained in Illinois.They were from Hønefoss, Buskerud, and moved to Christiania while they were young. Thus, Hans Andreas Lageson married Guro Danielsdatter Hølun in Iowa and they were my grandparents. To add to the confusion Sessil Stenersdatter, Guro's mother, married Hans A. Lageson's brother Niels Lageson, Hans A. Lageson's brother, after her husband Daniel died in a prairie fire in 1857. Also, Martin Lageson's daughter married Sessil and Daniel Johnson's son!
