Hei,

etter opplysninger på brukerforumet i ett tema jeg har der (tema nr.78215: Jørgen Olafsen f. 1849 Romsdalen) http://da2.uib.no/cgi-win/WebDebatt.exe ... aak=#anker
utvandret Jørgen med familie i 1881 til Nord Dakota.

Her er familien i 1875 http://digitalarkivet.no/cgi-win/WebCen ... k=146#ovre

Jeg etterlyser alle opplysninger om denne familien som dro til Amerika.

På forhånd takk.

Hei Tore...you are welcome...!

Perhaps you might be interested...my grandfather enlisted in the same 23rd Machine Gun battalion as your Sivert Olafson...they enlisted (May 1918) about the same time and were discharged about the same time..early 1919..
My understanding is that this battalion was sent to Europe, but by the time they got there, the end of World war one had arrived...so they never saw any battle...and were sent home safely...I suppose that is how it went for Sivert.

Det har ikke lyktes meg å finne ut hvilken havn eller båt familien reiste utifra og med.

Noen som kan hjelpe meg med det?

I den forbindelse kan det tenkes at Josefine Eriksen (Johansdatter) f.1867 utvandret sammen med denne familien.
