I am searching for a passenger list with John Jacobsen, his wife and perhaps a daughter. There is documentation that states he was born in Norway and that he became a citizen of the U.S. in 1869. His son, Benjamin, my great grandfather was born in Illinois in 1870. Any help at all would greatly appreciatged and I would be happy to share any information I have. ">

hastoHave you found them in 1880 census? I did not find Benjamin in Illinois? [url="http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=ILLI1880&spraak=n&metanr=1355"]1880 census Illinois[/url]
BorgeDo you have any additional information, like the year of birth, or other information that will help divide John from other John Jacobsens? Do you know what the A. is for? Do you know the names of the others in the group, like the wife and daugther?
