1869 & 1871 passengers: Norway to USA/Canada
philemer	Looking for ship that Lars Larsen Dale came to US on in 1869. Destination was Iowa. His future wife, Martha Einarsdt, came over in 1871. They both lived in Stord, Hordaland, when they emigrated. He was born in 1850 and she in 1849. They married in Iowa in 1873. Any help appreciated. I know that there are not many passenger records available for this period. Thanks, Phil
jwiborg	Hi, this is probably Martha living as a servant at the "Stord rectory" [url="http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=f61221&variabel=0&postnr=572&fulle=true&spraak=e"]Click here[/url] Stord is close to Bergen, so I would assume they left from there. But as you say, no passenger records are available before 1874 for Bergen. And until you cand find them in the passenger list, here they are in the 1880 US census for Iowa: [url="http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/Census/household_record.asp?HOUSEHOLD_CODE=1880US_7946820&HOUSEHOLD_SUB=1&frompage=99"]LDS[/url] or [url="http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=IOWA1880&variabel=0&postnr=24763&fulle=true&spraak=e"]Digitalarkivet[/url] Jan
philemer	Hi Jan, Thanks for the feedback. Yes, that is the same Martha. I've seen all the links but am hoping that someone "out there" may be related to them & me. Phil
Borge	Hi Phil I think we have Martha in our database! I noticed that she was a servant on in Tyse in 1865 - searching our database I find Marthe Einersdatter Tyse - Destination Chicago, IL* - Party of 1 - traveling from Bergen on the brig Chr. Columbus May 23, arriving at Quebec July 1. She is listed as # 219 on the [url="http://www.norwayheritage.com/p_list.asp?jo=382"]Passenger list 1872 - brig Chr. Columbus[/url]
philemer	Borge, Yes, I believe that is her. The reason I couldn't find her on your lisy was because I was using the spelling of "Einarsd.." in stead of "Einersd...". Thanks so much. 1.Is there anymore info available on her? 2. Where did you get your data from? The original ships lists? Microfilms? 3. Could I find out more info on her from a microfilm from the LDS or another source? Thanks so much, Phil
Borge	1. No, there is no more info about her on the list, see the scan! 2. The data is collected from the microfilm (NAC C-4527 list 44), and was submitted by John Ulteig. The original lists does not exist any longer - the Canadian archives burned the originals after they were filmed [xx(][xx(] 3. You never know what you might find in different sources! Another valuable source if the "bygdebooks", I do not know if they have one for Stord. There might be people from the local historic society that might be able to help also. What I would do is to send a request for help to the local library. Click here: [url="mailto:folkebiblioteket@stord.kommune.no"]Stord folkebibliotek[/url]
