I have som information on two passengers, Nos. 112 and 115. Reinert and Sigbjørn Atlaksen from the farm Åvedal (that they spelled Ovedahl) in Sirdal, Vest-Agder. Eventually all their siblings emigrated except Osmund Atlaksen, who had the farm. Eventually most of them changed their family name to Allikson in the United States. The first preserved letter from Reinert and Sigbjørn is dated October 24, 1853. They had then settled in Coon Prairie in Vernon county, Wisconsin. At that time a third brother was also there: Sivert Atlaksen.
