re ; eric ericksen
kymmI am a descendent of eric ericksen who emmigrated to New Zealand. I found his name on the ship Argonaut on one passenger list but it is not on the passenger list submitted by this site. This was for the year 1866. His identification number was 423. Can I presume this information is incorrect. On the first list I sighted his name was above Ole Ericksens' name and his age was 25. There was another Eric listed also, however his name was spelt Erick Ericksen.
BorgeHi It is a little hard to answer your question with so little information to go on. The name Erick Ericksen (Erik Eriksen) is, and was, a quite common name in Scandinavia (means Erik; son of Erik). Just finding that name on a passenger list does not prove that it is actually the right person. Børge Solem
BriningAlso the Argonaut on this site has a destination of Quebec Canada. Did he go there first before New Zealand. If not you will have to look for ships with a destination of New Zealand. Do you know for sure his emigration year was 1866? Carla
