MY gg grandfather was born August 31,1840. According to church record in Oppland, date of leaving was April 17,1855 which was the sail date of the Bark Ganger Rolf from Norway. Records from Quebec Morning Chronicle has the bark arriving June 3, 1855. Per Ole Olson's obit, he was in Wisconsin on July 3, 1855. Is this enough info to say he sailed on the Ganger Rolf ?
