| muriel prosise | I AM TRYING TO TRACE MY FATHER'S FAMILY ROOTS. I FOUND MY GRANDMOTHER, ANNA BERG B: 21 AUG 1886 IN RINGSAKER, NORWAY LISTED IN ELLIS ISLAND RECORDS. SHE WAS A PASSENGER ON THE SS AURANIA ARRIVING IN NYE YORK, MAY 21, 1903. AT THAT TIME SHE WAS 18 TRAVELING WITH AN AMUND SAETHER, AGE 39. HIS PARENTS WERE SIMON AND GRETE PEDERSON OF FAABERG. BOTH WERE UNDER CONTRACT #1420 TO A HALVDAN OLSON. OTHERS NA TRAVELILNG WITH THEM WERE NILSEN, TORGERSEN, SANDSDALEN, BAKKEN, AASENE, NORDBERG AND STOKKE. MANY OF WHOM WERE UNDER THE SAME CONTRACT # AND ALL GOING TO RIO, WISCONSIN. ONE YEAR LATER SHE AND AMUND WERE MARRIED.
AT ABOUT THE AGE OF 10 (1896) ANNA WAS REMOVED FROM THE HOME OF HER PARENTS, JOHANNES AND HELINA NILSEN AND PLACED IN A HOME WITH THE NAME BERG. IN THE USA ONLY THE NAME BERG WAS USED.
I HAVE CONTACTED MANY USA NORWEGIAN GENEALOGICAL SITES TO NO AVAIL. FROM YOUR SITE MARINERS IT IS STATE ANNA, AGE 18 DOMICILE -FURNAES AND AMUND SIMENSEN SAETHER AGE 38-FAABERG
WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF FINDING HER NILSEN SIBLINGS AND HER FOSTER BERG SIBLINGS. ALSO, THE MANIFEST SHEET OF THE SHIP THEY SAILED ON FROM NORWAY.
