heavey	I am new to the lists and discovered your group dedicated to the descendants of Norden Passengers. I am President of Norden #2 Lodge of the Sons of Norway. The Lodge is named for the ship Norden, likely some of the founders travelled on her. Tomorrow (8/28/2004) we hold our centennial banquet marking 100 years since the founding of Norden Lodge.

Linda Graham	My husband Jason's great-grandfather, Nils Arntzen Stien, is #175 on the passenger list for the 1866 Norden crossing. He lived in ND 1870-1907. (His daughter, Jason's grandmother Lovisa, was the first white girl born in what is now Cass Co. ND in Jan.1871. The first Lutheran church in ND was started in Nils's log cabin on the Red River.) Nils moved to Cromwell, WA (Gig Harbor Peninsula) in 1907, where he died in 1919. We own the house he lived in. The Spring 1927 edition of "Nord Norge" contains an article by John Melland describing the voyage. It tells how Nils and another passenger, Ole Walla, rowed to a passing ship to buy provisions when the Norden had been becalmed and passengers were running out of food.
