Carl Johnson
cdahlI have done extensive research to find my g grandfather, Carl O. Johnson. He left Trondheim, Norway approximately May 26 - June 11,1873 on the ship "Tasso" arriving at Hull. He would then needed to boarded a ship from Liverpool to America on a corresponding ship. I haven't been able to locate what ship he traveled on. I would appreciate any advice or information on the name of the ship and where he landed. The next time I find him is teaching school in Argyle Township, Lafayette County, Wisconsin.
Jo Anne SadlerI could not find a Carl O. Johnson on the Emigrants from Trondheim database. It would help if you provided a link to the information. The database indicates the shipping line the emigrant used. Taking that information, research on this site to determine the routes used by that line and it will point you to the ship's destination in America.
cdahlJoAnne, Thank you for inquiry. I found my g grandfather, Carl O. Johans. through the Digitalarkivet: Emigranter fra Trondheim 1867-1930. Like I said he was a passenger on the "Tasso", leaving date of 10.06.1873, posttype # 12254. Hope this is helpful to you. Many thanks.
BorgeHe departed from England, probably Glasgow on a ship belonging to the Anchor Line, and would probably have landed at New York. The emigration record says he had leper, which could have given him trouble passing the medical examination at New York (if there was one at that time). That would have been through Castle Garden in 1873. Strangely, I was not able to find him at Digitalarkivet by searching for names containing "Carl" in 1873, I had to browse the pages from the closest number I could find.
Jo Anne SadlerThis I am sure is him: Arriving on the Anglia (White Star Line) ship on July 1, 1873, from Glascow: Carl Johnson, 27 (correct age), farmer, steerage, no mention of any physical condition. There is information and pictures on this site for the Anchor Line, the agent in Trondheim, H.H. Dahl and a picture of the Anglia! He would have gone from Hull to Glascow. After the Castle Garden check-in, he would have taken a boat across the harbor to New Jersey to board a train to Chicago. This passenger list can be rented at a local Family History Center.
BorgeJo Anne, does the passenger record say "White Star Line"? Here is a link to the [url="http://www.norwayheritage.com/p_ship.asp?sh=angl1"]S/S Anglia[/url]
cdahlMany thanks to all for your time and information. It took me over 2 years to find my g grandfather and I am sure I have the right person. In fact, I am now corresponding with a g grandson of his brother in Norway. But he had little information about my g grandfather. An archivist suggested looking in the Reknes Leprosy Hospital patient list because I had mentioned that he had a crippling of his hands and feet. So I knew he had leprosy. I found in the records of Reknes that his father died as a patient and also a younger sister. But amazingly he lived 30 years in America, married and had a family. I am tying up loose ends before compiling all the information on him. I really wanted to know the ship and where he came when coming to America. Again, thank you all for you help. I probably will be posting a notice soon trying to finish research on my g grandparents of my father. Cdahl
Jo Anne SadlerNo, it is not White Star Line, but Anchor Line.[:I] Just going too fast. The Emigratar from Trondheim states Anker line.
cdahlWas Castle Garden the port in New York that was used before the the emigrants came into America at Ellis Island? cdahl
BorgeYes: Immigration Processing Centers for New York: Aug 1, 1855 - April 18, 1890 Castle Gardens April 19, 1890 - Dec 31, 1891 Barge Office Jan 1, 1892 - June 13, 1897 Ellis Island June 14, 1897 - Dec 16, 1900 Barge Office Dec 17, 1900 - Dec 31, 1924 Ellis Island
Robert van HaastertHello Carl, I was reading with interest the exchange you had with JoAnne. I am interested in Knud Dahle, also a passenger on the "Tasso" leaving Norway in June 1873. Knud is listed in the Minnesota 1880 Census as arriving in 1873. I am hoping you might have a DAHLE as a fellow passenger with your g-grandfather from England to New York. Emigranter fra Trondheim 1867-1930 11.06.1873; Knud Dahle; Jordbruger(farmer); male; age 18; hometown Romsdalen; going to Chicago; agent: H. S. Dahl; line: Anker; ship: Tasso; freight: 43; 36; Meldt (reported to Army) Look forward to your reply. Robert van Haastert rvh @ mtaonline.net Originally posted by cdahl JoAnne, Thank you for inquiry.

Jo Anne SadlerYes, he was on that ship: Knud Dahl/Dohl, born 1855, from Norway, farmer.
Robert van HaastertHi Jo Anne, THANK YOU very much for the quick reply ! There wouldn't be a patronymic with Knud's listing would there? Just a bit more challenging to find him and his family in the Romsdalen, Trondheim area without one <grin>. I was able to solve how he got from Norway to Minnesota from your exchange with Carl, complete with a link to a picture of the sailing vessel, SS Anglia. I especially enjoyed reading the expanded historical references at this website. Some days, one gets very lucky doing genealogy research. Knut Dahl (1853-1915), married Mary Finne in 1883, had 5 boys and settled in Goodhue County, Minnesota. Once Again - Thanks! Robert
