I am looking after my grand-grandfather Carl Marquard(Carl Anders Marquard Hansen) born nov 21 1890.
He should have travel with Bergensfjord from Kristiania depature may 30th 1917 and arrival june 12 1917.
I found a Carl Marquard in a shipsmanifest on Ellis Island.org.
Please, I need information to confirm that it is my grandfather.
Passengerlist or other information. I could be fun to have family in USA.
I am a woman from Copenhagen, Denmark.
You can mail me: kasandra@webspeed.dk

| What other manifest than the one on Ellis Island were you hoping to find - that is a transcript of the actual passenger list, and there might be a link to a scan of it too. In the Norwegian emigration registers he is actually listed as: (departure 30.05.1917) Fredrich Vilhelm Carl Christian Marquard af Horksyld ug gaardsgut, born 19.11.1889 in Bjerre Herred Danmark, going to Illinois - Check this link |

Thank you for your help,
unfortunaly I don´t think it is my grandfather, the name(fome of it) and date are not the same and place of birth. But in the manifest of Ellis Island are age of arrival 27 years and 5 month, my grandfather are 27 years and 7 month. But the person your found to me ar 28 years and 7 month
Thanks

| Yes, it was close, but they do not fit. Are you sure that he traveled on the Bergensfjord? Actually it is more likely that he would have gone by Scandinavian America Line. Did you check the Danish emigration records? |

I can´t find in danish emigration records, the archive tells me that impossible, if he don´t have a agent. I am not sure about Bergensfjord, it was only because his name were the same.
The only records I have about him going to Amerika, is a paper where he is separate from his wife and the police are looking for him. The police think that he is gone to America (may family has allways said the same).
But can I search in some records from Scandinavian America Lines?

| I have found the details of mentioned emigrant from Kristiania, departing May 30th, 1917 onboard the "Bergensfjord". His name is Fredrich Wilhelm Carl Christian Marquard from Horksyld, single, farmworker, born November 19, 1889, from Bjerre Herred in Denmark. He travelled to Illinois and paid for the ticket kr.294,60, had a danish policepassport from Jylland. He travelled together with Alfred Johannes Nilsen, single, farmworker, born November 20, 1891, from the same place in Denmark and also going to Illinois. This must be the person you are looking for. |
