| For what it is worth - I have found 103 Norwegians arriving NYC from Liverpool in following ships: HARVEST QUEEN, 4 June 1866 26 from Norway: SS NEW YORK, 30 July 34 from Norway; HIBERNIA, 11 August 5 from Norway; 30 August WILLIAM TAPSCOTT 30 from Norway; EMERALD ISLE 6 August 4 from Norway (Jacob Johanson & family of 3). The other 4 were singles. Jim |

Børge - I copied 1866 and believe I got most of them. I then looked at 1868 and almost could not believe it! Something on the order of 1200 Norwegians arriving NYC! I copied all but one ship, MANHATTEN (program would not recognize). I am sending these along as well. The ships are: JOHN BRIGHT, CITY OF WASHINGTON, FRANCE, CITY OF BALTIMORE, CITY OF BOSTON, PENNSYLVANIA, and COLORADO. No info on the ships but you can probably get some from the <shipslist>. The names indicate they all belong to one or two lines.
I then copied 1867 - a very slow year. Ships: ALEX D MARSHALL, CITY OF BOSTON, CITY OF BALTIMORE, SCOTIA, MALTA, TARIFA, VIRGINIA, and RUSSIA (Ole Bull is the only passenger from Norway).
Two comments. 1. There must have been a real manpower shortage in Norway in 1869; 2. Your transcribers have a lot of work to do. I hope this material does not discourage them.
Med vennlig hilsen. Jim |
