My great grandmother Anna Steffenson came to America in the later 1800's. I have been unable to locate what port she entered the United States. I would love to find the ship manifest that has her name with departure and arrival dates. Does anyone have some advice on how I can find out this info? She passed away many years before I was born and there is no one in our family to ask. My email address is lynadler@mchsi.com.. thanks Connie
Hi Connie Do you have any idea of where in Norway she may have left from The Digitalarkivet has lists of emigrants leaving Norway. Finding her there could help locate the ship she came to the US on. Also locating her in the US census could give you the year she came. Is Steffenson her married or maiden name? Carla
I have a great great grandmother named Anna Steffenson who emigrated to America in 1873. Since I don't know all of her descendants, I wonder if she may be related to me. Please forward this query to her.
you should start to trace your family back step by step. Then you'll find her in sources (censues, vital records) and you'll at least get her birth year and also the immigration year.
If you can't do it yourself I'm sure you'll get help. (I can also try to help you tracing your roots here in Norway as well as in the US)
Steffenson's of Stavenger Norway
