looking for my great grand mother on a ships list.
My grand father always said she came over in 1851 on the ship Sjofna.
Her name was Mari Svensdatter/Svendsdatter Loeng.
born 1831, Loeng farm Norway.
I found this:
Passenger list 1851 - bark Sjofna
Captain Departure Arrival Source
Søren A. Hovland Drammen May 31 New York July 21 Roll # 102, arr. no. 977
(passenger # 182)
182 Mari Loniedtr@Lornsdtr 20 f Between deck Loniedtter@Lornsdatter
I am wondering if this could be a typo? I am thinking that this could be my gr grandmother Mari Loeng the age is correct.
The name is very odd. What are your thoughts on this?
Thank you for any help.
