Want to know name of a GØRRISSEN who traveled from LEVANGER or TRONDHEIM to Rio de Janeiro in 1850 and returned to Norway. Another Gørrissen, FABER MARCUS JOHNSON, born in 1826, remained and married in Brazil.
Also, the names of all the passengers (106?) of the ship Sophie; plus the ones who settled in Brazil; the ones who returned to Norway; the ones who proceed to California; etc..
Am a descendant of Faber Marcus, born in Brazil. I would like to learn more about the other families of the original 74 Norwegians who came down to the Colony D. Francisca in Santa Catarina state in Brazil
