   Sorry, but do not think this is the same Syver Nilsen, because the manifest/alien passenger list of "Cedric" that he sailed with from Liverpool  - sailed 21. 0ct 1903 and arrived in N.Y. Oct  30.1903.
 
  
  The link Peder posted is for the police list at Oslo.  Syver would have been on a "feeder" ship to England, then left on a much larger transAtlantic vessel after.  Timewise the Syver Peder found does work.
 
   Syver Nilsen, have according to my knowledge, not any origin (bustad) to Lom, hence I do not think he is the same person.

  (source for the folks in Valdres is Halstein Strand, Ulnes. In 1856 Nils sold Fanterud and moved to Nord Strand, Ulnes, N. Aurdal.
 
 Looks like from this family the only possible Syverson uncle would be the aunt Guri Syversdtr if she had a brother named Syver. Syverson off the table not correct Syver Nilsen. |

  I wonder if there are not two Syver Nilsons, One from Lom and one from Nord-Aurdal. Bjørn, I am beginning to think that the Syver Nilsen you found is perhaps not your relative but a different Syver Nilsen born in Lom. Peder has traced him to his destination in North Dakota. Something does not seem correct here.

                       Jackie, I think you got it. The Syver Nilsen leaving in 1903 was from Lom, That is what it shows on the orginal manifest for the Cedric and what it shows on the record found by Peder on Digitalarkivet. The Lom Syver Nilsen was going to his relative in North Dakota, Probably the son of Paul Seversen. Here is some info from a Family Tree on Ancestry.com. 
  Paul Severson Birth 17 Mar 1854 in Steintereign Lom, Oppland Co., Norway Death 1932 in Petersburg, Nelson Co., North Dakota, U.S.A. |

   Must recheck item 2. mentioned by jkmarler earlier today cause Nils Nilsen, Fodnes N Aurdal 1846-1932 seem to m 1874 Mari Olsdtr Kulterstad N. Aurdal 1846-1917 and they had 5 children. My mother told me long time ago that we were related to the family Kulturstad (or Kulterstad). Could it be so that my great grandfather Nils Nilsen was married to  Mari Olsdtr Kulterstad or KultUrstad and not Maria Olsdatter? It seems to be so. And then it could well be two different "Syver" that went to America. I am so glad I contacted Norway-Heritage, and I appreciiate very much that all of you do all this great work for me!
