Olivia Eriksdatter 22 and Emil Jacobsen 2,5 arrived in Quebec 1872 on the bark Edda from Christiania/Oslo. She was most likely in company with Anton Andersen 29 and Petra Eriksdatter 23 (sister?) for the journey.

Thankyou for the info re my ggrandmother Olivia Erikson. The dates were taken from her obituary, but as time goes by memories of dates fade. I actually did have the Olivia Eriksdatter from Vinger as a possibility. Marilyn
