G'day. All! I need some help with this one, please? 1st part of question Maley Bailey (Amalia Augusta Gulbransen from Christiania, Norway) married my Grandpa Jesse Mederic Bailey in 1895 (family story is in Elyria, OH -- there is no record of this marriage, there) Variations in spelling: Gul/Gil/Guld/Gild-bran/bron/brand/brond-sen/son Ancestry.com shows her Immigration as 1872...and, I have located (with Sue Swiggum's assistance) a passenger record for a Gulbrandsen family to Quebec in late 1871... however, when I read the actual Census document, it appears (to me) that she immigrated in 1892 -- also, the length of time she has been in the US is shown as either 8 or 18 .... however, in 1900 subtracting 18 years gets me to 1882, whereas 8 gets me to 1892....so, perhaps it is worthwhile looking for her in a ships list in 1892.... Anyone else who could look at this and share their opinion, please? http://content.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=View&r=an&dbid=7602&iid=OHT623_1271-0 737&fn=Maley&ln=Bailey&st=r&ssrc=&pid=40100387 Name: Maley Bailey Home in 1900: Claridon, Geauga, Ohio Age: 33 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1867 BirthPlace: Norway Relationship to head-of-house: Wife Spouses's Name: Mederic Race: White Occupation: View Image Immigration year: 1872 Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Mederic Bailey 35 Maley Bailey 33 Sibley Bailey 3 Frinan Bailey 1 Tr??

Ellis Island, of course -- done that, and she is not there The Digitalarkivet for emigration http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/WebMeta.exe?spraak=e <http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/WebMeta.exe?spraak=e> <http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read> done that, and she is not there Norwegian Heritage http://www.norwayheritage.com/pasquest.asp -- no 1892 passenger lists Ancestry.com - done that, and she is not there TheShipsList -- no 1892 passenger lists done that, and she is not there And, then, there is Canada.....but that is a very long trip for me!
