Endrestad
obergh I am looking for information regarding a brother and sister Endrestad. Kari Olsdatter Endrestad born: July 17 1858 emigrated May 21 1881 Fredrik Olsen Endrestad born: Oct. 4 1862 emigrated May 19 1880 I have no idea on what ship or where they went. The story seems to end here.
jwiborgHi, one "Fredrik Ols.", from Vaage (today: "Vågå") emigrated from Kristiania on 29-May-1880 on the ship "K.Sigurd".

Could it be "your" Fredrik? Where did you find your dates of emigration? Vaage is the place where they lived in the 1865-census: [url="http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=f60515&variabel=0&postnr=5861&fulle=true&spraak=e"]Click here[/url] The is one "Kari Ols." going to Alexandria on 30-APR-1881: [url="http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=emikra1&variabel=0&postnr=31237&fulle=true&spraak=e"]Click here[/url] Maybe....? Her residece says "Trysil". //Jan Peter
oberghI consider it very likely that the people you found are them. They were born in Vågå of Ole Endresatd and Ragnhild Kongsparten. Now I can try to trace down their decendants. Thank you!
