My great-grandparents were immigrants from Hjelmeland, Rogaland, Norway, I believe. we have postcards and photos of people with little to go on.
Grandfather's name was Nils Hetland and Grandmother's name was Karina Bjelland or Breiland. We found those names on a postcard and believe it could be one. They came to the States in 1918 to Ellis Island and settled in Central Iowa.
They sailed on the Bergensfjord. From the story my grandmother gives my great was pregnant when she boarded the ship. They later had 4 more children, but, grandfather was married twice before.
I believe he was born around 1880 and she was born around 1892 by process of subtraction from the dates they sailed. I have seen the manifest from the ship so I know dates are accurate. It would be nice to know the rest of the story when it comes to the 2 of them living in Norway. I would love to be able to tell my daughter some stories!!

Thank you for any information in advance!!

Hello Christie - -

According to Ellis Island records your grandparents arrived in New York
on June 22, 1918; their final destination Radcliffe, Iowa.
Bergensfjord's itinerary was Kristiania, Kristiansand, Stavanger,
Bergen, New York. I didn't find a record of their departure in the
records of any of those ports.

Might your grandmother be the oldest daughter of Peder and Bertha
Bjelland of Hjelmeland? If so she had at least two younger sisters and
a brother.

Your grandfather is not so clear; but, in the 1900 Census there is a
Nils Hetland of the right age living at Prinsensgade 10, Stavanger.
