From The Cork Examiner, 1 October 1878 - A very sharp thing was done at sea last night. The Danish brig Johanna, laden with palm oil, from the African coast, spoke with the barque Forest, of St. John's, and the captain of the former vessel solicited that he should be taken off with his crew, and this was done. The captain of the Forest as soon as they were transferred, sent some of his own crew aboard the brig to take her into port, and they reached Falmouth to-night. The brig's crew abandoned their vessel because of her having six feet of water in her hold. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Ireland Newspaper Abstracts Acton, Massachusetts | http://www.IrelandOldNews.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I am trying to find the death dates of 3 relatives who lived on Jåsund and Meland in Sola, and also Tananger: Torger Mikalson Meland born 19 Nov 1845, died after 1910 Jon Mandius Mikalson Jåsund born 12 May 1848, died after 1910 Tønnes Kristian Mikalson Meland born 11 Aug 1852, died after 1910 Where can I find records of deaths after 1910 in this area? None are on microfilm by LDS in Salt Lake City. Where might I write in Norway to obtain this information? Thanks for any suggestions. -- Michael VanBaaren Sacramento, California, USA E-mail: van_baaren (at) hotmail (dot) com

Take a look at the Pedigree Resource File on www.familysearch.org and there is some information on these people. Bergitte OLSDTR. is born 14 Mar 1846 in Høyland, Rogaland, parents are Ola ASLAKSEN Myrland & Inger Kristine Knutsdtr. there is more information about her ancestors. She married Tønnes Mikkelsen on 12 Dec 1867 in Høyland kirke. Tønnes Mikkelsen, born 7 July 1840 Varhaug, Hå, Rogaland (per IGI on familysearch.org) parents are Mikkel Torjussen & Berta Margreta Svendsdtr. There are good bygdebøker for both Høyland and Hå that could guide you to more ancestors. Good luck!

Try this URL: http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/WebMeta.exe?slag=vismeny&fylkenr=&knr=&katnr=5&aar=&dagens=&emnenr=1 It seems not to be too many databases satisfying your needs. Most of the databases cover the time from about 1870 to about 1930. I just found one database covering the time before 1867, and that is a list from Stavanger. If your ancestor left Norway from another port, then I think you have to search somewhere else... If the page is not in English, you can change by clicking "English" (second link at the blue bottom-line). Good luck!!! Espen

My great-great grandfather, Talleiv Aamundson Flatland Högeli, from Vraadal, Telemark, came to America from Norway in 1847. Is there anywhere online that has ship passenger lists for that year?

I attempted to find my family at _http://www.norwayheritage.com/ships/_ (http://www.norwayheritage.com/ships/) but couldn't find them - Ole Olsen Nernes and Margretha Torsdatter Nernes - I think 1852-1854 - but couldn't find them. I tried Ellis Island also. Connie Nernes

Oops..I replied too soon. I did figure out how to navigate the site through the databases. However, it doesn't appear to have any passenger lists from the year I need either. Oh well...!

Thanks for your reply. I had visited this site once before but didn't see any passenger lists. Are there passenger lists on this site? If so, how do I navigate the site to get to them?

Hallo! I am doing genealogy research on all Langseth families in Norway and USA. I have registrated some Langset people from Løten area, some of them emigrated to USA. Sorry, but no person matches your request. :(

The subject word (ringkarl) is from a marriage record in Glemmen, Østfold, Norway (1824). I believe it describes an occupation. The document quality is poor so I am not sure if the spelling is correct. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi all, The great state of Minnesota translations will soon be done, then it is on to the great state of South Dakota as North Dakota is next after Minnesota and is all finished. Over half the volume of the Ulvestad Volume II has been translated now by Olaf of the State and County histories. It is all online in order of the book for free viewing here: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~maggiebakke/ulvestad.html The order left: North Dakota is done Washington Alabama Alaska California Colorado Connecticut is done District of Columbia Florida Georgia Idaho Indiana is done Indian Territory Kansas Louisiana Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan is done Mississippi Missouri Montana Nebraska New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York Ohio Oklahoma Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island is done South Carolina Tennessee Texas Utah Virginia West Virginia Some are very very short and only have a statement for the whole state as that is all anyone sent in when sent a questionaire from Ulvestad.
