Emigration to Wisconsin

Legg inn av gj05515 » 08 nov 2011 18:12:10

Hello,

I am looking for emigration records (and also the Norwegian home) for this family:

John Olsen, born March 1850 in Norway, emigrated to Wisconsin 1883 or 1884

John married Oline in 1877 (in Norway). Oline came to Wisconsin 1890 with their children John M. (born January 1883 in Norway) and Nels Kristian (born 7 August 1880 in Norway).

Another son, Olof J., born Jan 1878 in Norway, came to America in 1896.

The family used the name Olson in America. In 1900 they were in Pratt, Bayfield county, Wisconsin. Since Oline, John M., and Nels Kristian traveled to America together in 1890, I am hoping emigration information for them might be found. I assume the children had the name Johnsen or Johansen in Norway.

Mvh,

Brian

I know you are searching for emigration information, but my strategy is to search for information in all available information :)

My next step is now to look for an emmigration from Norway based on the immigration information I recently found.

Excellent Vigdis!

You did very good work finding them so fast! It is always so hard to find someone named Olsen in Norway. I can read Norwegian, so now I think I find find the records I need.

Thank you again so very much for finding the emigration records! This has ben a very big help!

Tusen Takk,

Brian
