Edward, son of Erik Nilsen and Ingeborg Jonsdatter, was born Jan. 18, 1861 in Storsveen, Oyer, Oppland, Norway. According to census records, he came to U.S. in 1882, settling in Lessor Twp. MN. I'm wondering if someone is able to tell me when exactly he left, from what port, the ship he traveled on and what port he came to? His parents, Eric Nilsen/Nelson and Ingeborg Nelson came to America in 1885. I would also be looking for the same information for them. They also lived in Oyer Parish. If there is a website I can go to to look for this information, I would appreciate knowing what it is. Thank you, Dusty
