Mathilde was named Pauline Mathilde, she came in 1903 on the The Hellig Olav with Johan Magnus Borgersen. They were both heading to Rothday, MN to their Uncle: He was 24, she was 26. YOU do not give birthdates, so is hard to know who to look for??. I cannot read his name. Looks like: Anders Jorvo??? More information from you would help.
