My g-grandfather was Olav Aslakson Mosli. I know he sailed on the Montebello on March 28, 1902 headed for wisconsin. I found the passenger list on the digitalarkivet site I am quite sure. All of the info is correct....age..birth place,etc. In the last name column under Aslakson it says Dysil@Dysje What does this mean? Are they place names?
You make this very difficult to even consider helping - why no URL link to the finding you say you've found?
It is probably a place name. The 1900 Norwegian census shows farms with names much like Dysje in Sogn og Fjordane, Rogaland, Telemark and Aust-Agder areas of Norway.
@ is used as a separator between two alternative readings of the original when it is impossible to decide which is the correct one. Obviously the transcriber had problems making out the farm name
translation from passenger list?!?
