Have you checked the Ellis Island database? You can find more information about New York arrivals in Jo Anne's article: PORT OF NEW YORK PASSENGER RECORDS , you will also find some links there.

Svein,
On Ellis Island I found:
Ellen Jacobsen age 22 from Avaldando, Norway 1910 on S/S Oskar II
Might this be her? I have found the spelling changes from Norway to the USA.

Hi Svein,
the ship Oscar 2 arrived in New York on the 15th. of November, 1910, sailing from Christiania on November 4th.

The manifest are over 29 pages, and contains 678 names, mostly from Norway, Sweden and Denmark.
The only Jacobsen listed are:
  • Jacobsen, Anna F 17 S Norway, Scand. Fredrikshelf, Norway
  • Jacobsen, Josefine F 22 S Norway, Scand. Trandlgian, Norway
  • Jacobsen, Lina F 21y S Norway, Scand. Bukaues, Norway
  • Jacobsen, Marie F 23 S Norway, Scand. Fredrikshelf, Norway
  • Jacobsen, Milton M 18 S Norway, Scand Fisfedaln, Norway
  • Jacobsen, Thoralf M 20 S Norway, Scand. non immigrant alien

Search by any of those names, and you'll find the ships manifest. Her name could have been left out, or too difficult to interpret.
I recommend you to scroll through the pages one by one...

Hi Svein,
Lina's manifest states that her final destination is friend Albert Knudsen in Minnesota..., could he be the father to Lester....?
  • LESTER E JACOBSON, b. 18 Mar 1913, d. 10 Jun 2000
  • 55128 Saint Paul Washington MN
  • Social security number (SSN): 470-01-8226
With all this information, it should be possible to find his father. Have you tried to locate the birth certificate? Also, the 1920 and 1930 US censuses could be useful, that is, if Lina lived with the Lester's father....

You could also try to send a mail to Gwen A Sackrison sackrison@angelfire.com.
I've read that she is very helpful and does look-ups, retrieves birth certificates etc for Minnesota, just for a few dollar charge...
I bet she can help you!

Btw; this Lina Jacobsen is from Buksnes in Vestvågøy, Lofoten, according to the manifest.

Hi Svein You could also try sending for his social security application. It should have his fathers name on it. This site Click Here it tells you about the application. At Rootsweb click here they provide a pre printed letter if you click on SS-5 letter in the right hand column next to the name.

Hi,
the manifest can be found at Ellis Island. http://www.ellisisland.org/
Search for Lina Jacobsen, and you'll find her manifest.

The page you find will be the second page of the manifest, click "next", to see the first page, and click the magnifyer glass to view the manifest.

PS: Does it fit that she was from Buksnes in Vestvågøy, Lofoten?
