hello!
I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to find a passenger traveling from Norway to USA in 1877? I have information that show Ole Pettersen leaving Norway in october 1877 traveling to Hull, England. Is there any records in Hull, England, where do I find online information on passengers after 1875? And so on... Please, any help is great!!

I looked at New York arrivals for 1877. I found an Ole Pedersen arriving in a ship via Bermuda, name FHA PITT. Mr Pedersen was 22, occupation Seaman, place of origin Norway, intended destination Norway. That is the only 1877 entry at NYC that comes close.

Hello!
I'm sorry but this is most likely not the man I'm looking for. He is born in 1846, and I belive he was heading towards Galesville, wis. He might go by the name Ole Pettersen Libakken.
If anyone know how I can find records about him crossing the sea...

Hi,
here is one Ole Pettersen going to La Crosse, Wisconsin on the 5th of October 1877.

This could be him in the 1865-census.
He is born on Jan 06 1846, and christened on Feb 08 1846.
The records was found here
Search for "Foreldre bosted" (place of residence of parents) = "Fægringeie"...

Jan
