This was a VERY helpful site in finding my ancestors. Now, I am looking for help in finding the ships they sailed over to America on. I found my grandfather, Hans H Thorsnes, in the Ellis site but cannot find my grandmother, Anna Ragnhild Sandhaug. I know my grandfather was her second husband. Her prior relationship was with a Carlson/sen(?). I don't know what last name she would have traveled under or where she actually landed. Again, your assistance is deeply appreciated.
Thank you.
Erika Thorsnes

This looks like her leaving with her daughter, Olga Margrethe from Bergen in 1903 Click Here She is married and it would appear that her married name is Ellertsen

Once again, I am amazed and grateful for the work done by the people monitoring this site. Any thing else you can tell me would be happily accepted.
Sincerely,
Erika
