How do I go about figuring out what ship someone came over on. My Great Great Grandparents Immigrated in 1864 but have no clue on the ship and all. what Can I do

Their names are Wilhelm Friman Koren Christie Krüger ( He dropped the Umlots when in states) and his wife Tore Torsdatter (Borgen) Krüger ( we knew here as Thora) and theirDaughter Hannah Severine Kruger

Thank you

The name Krüger was mostly spread in Bergen, Hordaland at that time - coming from german immigrants. Unfortunately the digital archivs of emmigrants starts 1874.

You are shure about 1864? I'm asking as there was a guy with exactly the same name leaving Bergen in 1890:

No, it's probably not the same guy as there's no sign of any Tora or Hannah.

Sorry, was too eager to help!
