Yes... I'm trying to locate a passenger list on my family they emmigrated to US in 1880 from Norway. They settled in Colfax, North Dakota the same year around May or June. I'm not sure on departure date? My great-great grandfathers name is Ole L. Bolstad and his wife name in Tonette Bolstad. At the time ther were 4 children travelling with them. Hopefully someone out there can lead me in the right direction. Thanks, Jason D. Bolstad, Lynnwood, WA

This is a possibility on the Digitalarkivet Emigrants sailing from Kristiania 1871-1930 There are only 2 children but in the 1875 census this appears to be them with 3 older children. Possilbly they died before Ole and Tonette came to the US. You will have to verify ages if you have them

Also I found a posting on rootsweb that may be of interest to you.

Using the indexes from this site and assuming the people in the June 17, 1880 Emigrants from Kristiania are your people, the following is a good possibility:
The feeder ship Angelo left Kristiania for Hull England on June 18, 1880. From Hull, emigrants would take a train to Liverpool or Glascow to board the passenger ships for the Atlantic crossing.
The agent, F.E. Blickfeldt was an American Line agent , American Line transported emigrants from Liverpool to Philadelphia and arranged railroad transportation as part of the package to their final destinations.
The. S .S. Philadelphia arrived in Philadelphia from Liverpool on July 11, 1800. You can rent the microfilm of the passenger manifest at a local family history center, www:familysearch.org.
Even if you don't find them on this exact ship, since Mr. Blickfeldt was an American Line agent, you will most likely find them arriving in Philadelphia by searching around that time.

The Richland County Historical Society has a Bolstad Family History book listed in their reference material.
