SS Wooddham from Christiania July 28 1872
kjenter	I posted this message under the sticky in the transcription project, but thought then that might be the wrong place, I'm stil learning my way around the site I found this link the partial list on this site http://www.norwayheritage.com/p_list.asp?jo=2075 My great great grandparents are passengers on this ship (SS Woodham) that sailed from Christiania July 28 1872 and arrived Quebec - Montreal Aug. 16 1872. They are Ole and Andrine Ottersen. I wonder if I could have a copy of the scan of the original passenger list???? thanks so much!!!!! Karen JENTER [:)] Michigan
Hopkins	That list should be available on LDS microfilm #0889447. (Check the date range for the films of that year's passenger arrival records in the library catalog -- I've listed here the exact film number where I found some of my own family arriving through that port earlier that year and didn't make careful notes of the exact time period covered by the film.)
Borge	Here is a scan of the list, it is actually 3 scans stiched together. The microfilm seamed to contain only a partial list [img]http://www.norwayheritage.com/gallery/gallery/Historic_Documents/Passenger_Lists/woodham1872.jpg[/img]
kjenter	Thanks both of you so much. My great great grandparents and 2 of the 4 children who came are on the bottom of the list. Ole Ottersen with wife Andrina and daughters Christine and Dorthea. Also should be there are my great grandmother Karen age about 24 and her brother Christian who would have been about 11 or 12. If the microfilm is missing the rest of the list do you think the NARA would have the whole thing? I would be willing to pay the fee to them to get the entire list.. Here is the link from the database and Christian is there: http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=emikra1&gardpostnr=5146&merk=5146#ovre Thanks so much Karen JENTER Michigan
Borge	When I copied the Norwegian lists on the film I cold not find any other pages for the Woodham passenger list on the roll. As far as I know the original lists does not exist any longer, I was told they were destructed after they had been filmed. Unfortunately some lists, and some pages seams to be missing, and some lists were so faded that they can not be read on the films, which means they are lost for ever. [xx(]
kjenter	Oh, that is a shame. I can't figure out why my Karen isn't with her father and mother,and why son Christian isn't there. I know they all came the same time. I guess that gives us a good lesson in future preservtion!!!! Thanks anyway!!!!! Karen
Jo Anne Sadler	If they were traveling as a family group, especially with an 11 hear old child, they should have been listed together on the passenger list which is not the case. There is a good possibility that Christian was ill, had a fever and was not allowed to sail and that Karen stayed behind with him and they followed later. I would recommend renting the appropriate microfilm for this time period and look at subsequent passenger lists from Christiania. They may have even changed shipping lines. The Emigrants from Christiania are the police protocols in which they applied for permission to emigrate, it is not a passenger exit list and some times you will find people who did not leave until much later than the application date.
