Hi
Just want to point out that the S/S Oslo and the S/S Angelo were not transatlantic liners, but feedership from Norway to England. |

Thank you for your answer! I have already seen that the ship most likely went from Christiania to Christiandsand and then over to Hull in England. But I think it is difficult to track the route further on....
But maybe sombody does know about Anna in the US, or can just help me find the correct ship`?
I mean, it is possible that she went ashore in Canada for all I know. I have searched Ellis Island, but I havent found any perfect match. But there are several Anna Olsen who arrives there, but I guess I have to be patient!

The Digitalarkivet gives us a clue, as the agent mentioned was Victor Raffel who according to our database of agents was the general agent for the Cunard Line. The Mauretania of that line arrived at new York on 3/11/1909 from Liverpool, but that was probably a bit quick, next ship of the Cunard Line was the Saxonia which arrived at New York 3/18/1909 from Liverpool, the Saxonia also called at Boston. |

Thank you for the help!
Maybe this can narrow things down a bit for me!
Where can I search arrivals at Boston?

I don't think the Boston arrivals are online anywhere as a searchable complete database, the best thing is probably to get the microfilm from NARA. The Mauretania was not the sister of the Titanic, but was one of the other famous four stackers. The Mauretania belonging to the Cunard Line, while the Titanic was owned by the White Star Line, the ship considered to be the sister of the Titanic was the Olympic. |

Ok... But do you have any other idea to find her. The Cenus have somone looked in for me, and there ar e to many maybe to narrow her down in any way. But are there other material which I can look in?
And I also wonder what NARA is? Is that a National Archive of some sorts?
Regarding the boats. If she went from Christiania to England in the SS Oslo. Which port would she ariive in? Wouldn\t that be Hull? Is that far from Liverpol? And how long did the voyage from Chrisitania to England take, and from England to the US? Did ships first land in Boston, and so in New York? |

Thank you Carla! I found Ole here:
http://people.mnhs.org/dci/viewcart.cfm?CertificateID=1172280
so he died in 1958. But it isn't really him, I was looking for. It is Anna I wonder what happend to her... But I hoped that I could be lucky and found Anna via Ole..
But I don'r know.. Mayby via the MHS ( Minnesota Historical Socity) I could find something?
I hope I can find her! What I thought, was this: Since Ole is buying land in 1910, maybe he was really buying for Anna? |

Hi I doubt that Ole was purchasing the land for Anna, it is more likely that he was getting it for himself. Did Andreas have any other children that would have taken over his land in Kittson county? You might try tracking down Andreas' family left in the US and see if you can locate living relatives. They may have information on Anna. I'm guessing that Anna either went to Kittson or Marshal county where Andreas and Ole lived or had land. Here is a list of Historical societies in Minnesota http://www.mnhs.org/preserve/mho/chsclo.html Try contacting the Marshal and Kittson county ones. Maybe they will have some information or can help.

Thank you Carla!
I have a problem. I havent been able to narrow her down on Ellis Island. And she could have entered the USA in Boston ( Ole arrives at Boston when he has been in Norwy for some time). Do you know how I can get that information? Without going to the US and pay a lot of money?
