I found my relatives on the passenger list for the Claus Thomesen (Skein to NYC 25 May 1849). It was four families traveling together, all related by blood and marriage. Some of the names are spelled incorrectly or incomplete, but it was such a thrill to see my great grandmother (passenger # 101) on the list! This is an excellent resource. Now if only I can find a passenger list for my relatives from the other side of the family (Gausdal, Oppland) that sailed from Oslo (Christiania) to Quebec in the summer of 1857 I would be even more pleased. You have all done a great job with this web site and should be congratulated.

Hello David
There is very little chance of finding any 1857 passenger list to Quebec in 1857, as the archives does only go back to 1865.
If you would provide the correct and complete names for those of your family on the Claus Thomesen, we will make additions and corrections.

Thank you Borge,
I have e-mailed you that information on the names for the Claus Thomesen passenger list. In addition, I found mention of my great great grandfather's nephew, Gunder Inversen Evegesveen in the information under the ship Johannes Rod on your web site. Gunder wrote that letter while visiting my great great grandfather (Johan Gundersen Inleggingen) in Wisconsin on his way to Minnesota where his cousin Gunder Johnson (Inleggingen) lived. This is all a very exciting find for me, as I had already found Gunder's letter in a Gausdal Bygebok sent to me by a Norwegian acquaintence (Alf Sanden of Gausdal) and translated by an University of Wisconsin Norwegian language professor. As I said earlier, you have all done a very good job on this web site and I congratulate you.
