I have successfully found my Norwegian immigrant ancestors in the Digitalarkivet "Emigrants from Olso 1867-1930" database. Can someone help me understand the meaning of the "Remarks", "Freight" and "Line" columns? In my specific case:
Remarks = 2320
Freight = Spd 173,24
Line = Oder

My goal is to find the ship passenger list for this family.

Thank you.

I do not know what the 2320 stands for, but Spd 173,24 was the price for the ticket, i.e. 173,24 Speciedaler. Oder is the name of the ship they departed on to go from Norway to Hull in England. Read more about the S/S Oder of the Wilson Line.
