Hello!
I am looking for my great grandmother sister, whom I belive has emigrated to USA.
I have found her on a list subscribed in the 1960's where she is supposedly emigrated from Norway in 1883. There are however no records of her, where she went, what ship she was on... So I thought maybe you could help me?
the information about her:
Her name was Johanne Marie Andreasdatter ( Andreasen) She was brought up in Skjeberg on a place called Skyttebraaten ( Skyttebråten). She was born in 1858, and on the list I found her in, she had given her age as 25.
She had several siblings, including my great grandmother.
Johanne Marie was a child born outside of marrige, but I don't know if this is relevant.
Her mother's name was Julie(Juliane Josephine)Andreasdatter ( Jensen) I am sorry .. but she wrote it in many different ways. Her mother was born ca 1837. And she was born in Skjeberg.
Her father's name was Andreas Johansen ( Johannesen).
Skjeberg is in the southeastern part of Norway. And he was born ca 1831.
I don't know if she was married or if she had any children when she left.
The list I found was a transcription of emigrateprotcol, and a list where everybody from Østfold had emigrated.
I strongly think that she really emigrated, because I can't find her in any record here in Norway. And I have tried the net, but so far found nothing.
If you can't help me, I would like to know if there are any other ways to find her.
Best regards
