It was thought that Simen Olsen, my great grandfather, died shortly after arriving in America but have found nothing further. All of his children eventually came to America, wife having died in Norway. He was traveling with the family from the farm called Halvorslien in Gausdal. So I am interested in everything that has been printed about the "Hannah Parr".
