I am trying to find out the name of the ship that my great-great grandparents, Ole Tomasson Lysne and Anna Jansdatter Selthun, came on when emigrating to the Unites States. They left Norway in April, 1856 with 9 children and settled in Portage County, Wisconsin. Any information about this family would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
