Looking for the name of the ship that Erik Thorgrimson Erickson and his wife Birgit with their 2 young daughters (one named Rena) sailed on sometime in 1869. Erik and one daughter died of typhoid enroute.
Thank you for any help provided.

Do you know from what port in Norway they departed?

I think they were from Lårdal but I don't know where they sailed from. Birgit's second husband-our gr grandfather came from Vinje Telemark and sailed from Skien to Quebec in 1869 but they were not on the same ship.
