The Rollo
Steinset	My great-grand mother Inger Nilsdt. Overgaarden checked- out of the Bruflat parish (Etnedal) on March 25, 1882 bound for America on the "Rollo". Was this a ship going to England and then on to America? I am putting together a family history video and would like to include photos of the ship or ships. Ed Amundson, Portland, Oregon
Borge	The [url="http://www.norwayheritage.com/p_ship.asp?sh=rollo"]Rollo[/url] was a [url="http://www.norwayheritage.com/ships/w-index.htm"]Wilson Line[/url] ship, and conveyed emigrants from Norwegiaon ports to [url="http://www.norwayheritage.com/ships/hull.htm"]Hull in England[/url]. From England the emigrants would board other ships for the Atlantic crossing. I can't find your great-grand mother at the Digitalarkivet, could you give more details?

Steinset	Borge, Here is the information which I have on Inger Nilsdatter Ovrigarden from Harald Hvaatum "Etnedal: Vol. B, pg. 406 Ovrigarden (120.39)Ovrigarden var humannsplass is siste halvdelen av 1800 talet. Fyrste gongen vi horer om han, er under folketeljinga in 1875. Nils Erikson og Anne Hansdtr. Sjurudplassen (begge fodt i 1836 eller 1837) var husmannsparet her i 1875: Born: Elling f. 1861, Johan f. 1863, Inger f. 1866, Ola f. 1869 Anton f. 1871, Anne Marie f. 1874 Sofie f. 1877 og Martin f. 1880. Familien hadde folketeljingsaret 1 ku i kalv; 3 sauer, pluss ein utsaed pa 5/16 t. bygg og 3 t poteter." I know that Inger was 16 years old when the family left Etnedal and I believe that her Aunt and Uncle Marit and Gulbrand Saglien traveled in the party. Sometimes the Ovrigard[en family appears under "Syverud" or Sjurudplassen. This infromation came from geneologist Betty Rockswold of the "Valdres Samband".Mange Takk! Ed Amundson
Borge	That new information was a great help, actually it seam you have the wrong year! In the Digitalarkivet I find the [url="http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=n&filnamn=arkivverket/emikra1&spraak=&eigar=Digitalarkivet"]family in 1881 emigrants from Kristiania[/url]. (enter the surname "Øvergaarden" cutt and paste) They departed from Kristiania June 3rd, 1881 on the Wilson Line ship [url="http://www.norwayheritage.com/p_ship.asp?sh=angel"]S/S Angelo[/url] for Hull. They were bound for Eau Claire. They had signe contracts with agent David Conolly, who at the time was representing the Inman Line. ([url="http://www.norwayheritage.com/p_line.asp?ag=inman&ye=1881"]Inman Line 1881 authorization and fleet[/url]) When checking [url="http://www.norwayheritage.com/t_transatlantic.asp?month=06&year=1881"]Arrivals reported in Norwegian newspapers, June 1881[/url]. I find a very likely ship for them to sail to be the S/S City of Berlin from Liverpool 1881-06-14, arrival to New York 1881-06-25. The Passenger list is usually dated 1 - 2 days after arrival, and you should check that list. Børge Solem Edited by - Borge on 29/11/2002 10:40:56
