Family history indicates my family came from Stavanger, Norway to Illinois via a ship (name unknown). They arrived in Quebec in 1856. I am trying to confirm what ship they came over on and potentially how they migrated from Quebec to Illinois. According to you website, it could be one of three: The Orion arriving July 28 (ID 1438), the Prindsesse Louis arriving July 28 (ID 1536) or the Sostrene arriving July 4 (ID 1721). Names of ancestors who came over: Anna Bergeson and her 5 children: Anna, Hadle, Berge, Anna and Mallene. Also on the ship was a Ole Johnson who later became a neighbor. Any direction you can provide me would be appreciated.
