Karvia might be called Karpes in swedish, so it might correctly read Karpes/Karvia, instead of Karpeskarvi. Karvian Kunta http://www.karvia.fi/ Founded in 1865, Size 520 km², inhabitants 3167. Look at some pictures here http://www.karvia.fi/kotiseutu/kuvia.htm Located in Satakunta http://www.satakunta.fi/inenglish/ or North Satakunta http://www.satakunta.fi/kunnat/ Hope this helps.

Leif, My mistake. I thought that it was spelled "hvit"; I know I've seen it as such. Could this be a Bokmal/Nynorsk difference, perhaps, or is my memory just that faulty? Thanks, Dave Hinz

Thank-you all for the help and links. I believe that I am down to looking at the police records to locate more information through the LDS resources. The Ellis Island records would most likely have been destroyed by fire. Here are more of the links received off-list for those interested: http://www.fortunecity.com/littleitaly/amalfi/13/ships.htm http://www.museumsnett.no/mka/ssa/index1.htm http://www.theshipslist.com/ http://www.cimorelli.com/safe/shipmenu.htm Best regards, Mike.

I have the bygdebok for Høyland made in 1952. I found that Mons Monson Aase that was married to Guri Lorentzdaughter lived on a farm called Assheim also in Høyland. Mons used Aase as his family name. My wife have ancestors in common with Mons. I have looked for Guri Børrildsdatter in the book. I found 3 persons/possibilities, but at the moment i can not determine anything for sure. I will look in the churchbook soon. I hope you can give me some more details. Inge Nødland

The best book of all is "Cradled in Sweden" by Carl-Erik Johannson. Lists every parish and has more information than you can believe ! Published by: Everton Publishers, Inc. P.O. Box 368 Logan, Utah 84321 Or just phone and order the book. Also any Mormon Church which has a 'family history library' can help you. Call one near your home.

Ca. 70 km from Thisted - going east there's a town called Vester Hassing. This town had an inn keeper by the name of Fanoe (Fanø) - a quite dominant person in the area. It's very likely that these people were sailors and therefor got around a lot - and could easily have found the girl of his life in Tønsberg, Norway. All the best, Anni (I'm from somewhere in between Thisted and Vester Hassing)

Kan noen hjelpe meg å finne fram til Jon Svensen (eller Svenson) og hans slekt i Jämtland? Etter manntallslistene skal han være født i 1665, men en slektshistorie (Forsetboka, skrevet av Lars Larsen Forset i 1811) angir at han er født i 1608. Han dro til Norge, angivelig først til Flå i Sør-Trøndelag, hvor han var bruker av en eller flere gårder, bl.a. muligens Reitan gård. Han giftet seg der med Guru. Jon kom til Forset gård i Klæbu, Sør-Trøndelag i 1646 og ble bruker av denne gården (muligens bygslet han den). Hans eldste sønn Jakob ble født på Forset i 1649. Jon fikk ialt 6 barn. Etterslekten hans ble boende på Forset i over 300 år.

James, since Ambjörnarp is a parish in Kind hundred (in Västergötland), you might want to get in contact with Kinds Forskarförening (Kind researcher's society).

I found some of my ancestors in the Digitalarkivet leaving Norway for the USA. It lists shipping line as "Hvide Stjerne Line". Is there any way to identify the ship names? They left Alesund April 4, 1895 and Oct 10, 1895. Also, at what US port would they enter? Destination is "Amerika" and "Michigan". Mike.
