Rasmus Johan Jorgensen-Stavanger ship captain- about 1880

[Eva Ket Henriksen]

I am searching for information on Rasmus Johan Jorgesen who was born about 1848 in Norway. He married Ingeborg Olsen who was born about 1858. We are aware of only two children: Jenny Jorgensen who was born about 1884, we think in Stavanger; and Ingolf Rasin Jorgensen who was born 26 November 1886, Dom Parish, Stavanger, Norway. Family story says that Rasmus was a ship captain who died at sea. We know that by 1900 Jenny was a maid in a ship captains house in Stavanger and Ingolf was in a orphan boys home in Stavanger.

Jenny came to America in 1904 and Ingolf came in 1905.
We would really like contact with any descendants/cousins. Would like to find the death record of Ingeborg and Rasmus - who died sometime between 1886 and 1900......Who are their ancestors?

Thanks so much for any help!
