There is a new player in the passenger list game - Ancestory.com. I am a member and have a 2 week free trial to this information. It is rather poorly put together and translated but, if I punch in "Norway" I get about 355 matches. Not many ships mentioned, just names, ages and dates of arrival. If I punch on a name, I get some info on the person, sometimes.

A few ships names: Brig VICTORIA, Goteborg - Boston, 20 June 1850; Bark SWAN, Goteborg/Fayel - Boston, 15 January ,1850; Ship FALCON, Palermo - Boston, 6 May 1850; Brig Ballona, Goteborg - Boston, 5 September 1850.

If this info would be helpful, I can get it to you, either by mail or scan it back in. Program will not let me "save" but I can print.

Warm regards. Jim
