    1. Re: [NOR] Emigration records

    3. I considered that Ingeborg, but she's unmarried and seven years older than Anton. Anton's Ingeborg was only three years older than him. I do not know if Anton's sister Oline emigrated or not. If she did, I don't recall seeing her name in the utflytting records, and I can't find Anton, Ingeborg, or Inga in the utflytting records either (I only looked four times, but it's still possible I missed their names since the penmanship is pretty bad). It's possible that Oline is the one who went to Menomonie and her age is entered wrong, and whoever was taking information for the passenger list mixed Ingeborg (and got age wrong) with Oline (and got her age only slightly wrong, as well as her marital status, which leaves baby Inga tied to the wrong person. Anton and Oline are listed as New York for a destination. That means they most likely would have traveled overland to their destination(s). I don't have Ancestry so I don't know about arrival lists, or if passenger lists are one and the same as the arrival lists. 1880 US Census has Anton, Ingeborg, and Inga in at Range 51 (Logan Township), Traill County, Dakota Territory, which is the same location as the 1900 US census. I'm about 99% sure I have the right people, but one wrong name and age (it should be Ingeborg at age 24 (her birthday was not until Nov when she turned 25), not Oline at age 17 (she would have turned only 16 in 1879) - Oline is listed as age 3, Anton age 9 in the 1865 census, 1875 census has Oline born in 1863). Reasonably certain doesn't mean absolutely sure, so I guess I'm looking for reassurance.
