Necoline(Nicoline) Olsdtr. from the farm Dragland(north of Norway) left Norway together with two of her brothers:
http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=EMITROND&gardpostnr=47960&merk=47960#ovre

The family history says that she left her brothers for going to be a housekeeper at a farm in St. Vincent, MN.

But maybe she did`nt left the place in USA(Canada?) where the ship landed? Is it possible to find where it landed?

Per your link, the ship Juno was a feeder ship to Hull, England and then on to Liverpool by railroad. The Allan Line operated routes from Liverpool to Canada. If you look on the Index of Arrivals on this site for June 1887 there are two good possibilities, the S/S Nova Scotian or the S/S Polynesian.

There is information on this site about the Allan and it routes.

Their destination was indicated as Emmerson, Manitoba which is a town on the US/Canadian border on the Red River which separates North Dakota and Minnesota.

St. Vincent, Minnesota is on the other side of the border from Emerson.

I know you can rent the Canada passenger lists from a local Family History Center but there is more information and I believe help on the Internet but I am not knowledgeable on this, maybe someone here has information.

It took me awhile to find my way around this site.p]

I believe this is Daniel & Michael (Mikkel) in some census':

1900 - Grand Forks, Grand Forks County, North Dakota
Michael Dragland, born March 1866, Norway, immigrated 1887, meat dealer
Mona, wife, 28, immigrated 1878, four children, three living
Oscar-6, Alma P. - born born in North Dakota

1910 Mike Dragland - Grand Forks,
Mike, meat dealer, born Norway
Mona, wife born Norway
Oscar - 16, Alma - 15, Rudolph - 10, Theodore -, Alice - 4, Orrin - 1 1/2. All children born in North Dakota except Theodore who was born in Minnesota.

Grand Forks is a twin city intersected by the Red River and separates Grand Forks, ND from East Grand Forks, Minnesota (I have been here). Can't find them after 1910 but the names on census' are so mixed up so it makes it difficult.

1900-Westfield, Steele County, North Dakota
Daniel B. (hard to read) Olson, born August 1861, Norway, immigrated 1887, farmer
Anna, 38, born Norway, 7 children, 6 living, immigrated 1890
Signe K. - 12, born Norway, immigrated 1890
Edwin - 7, Ole N. - 6, Mary G. - 4, Esther N. (hard to read), Rudolph - born in May. Other than Signe all children born in North Dakota.

1920 - still in Westfield
Daniel, immigrated 1887, naturalized 1892, grain farmer
Anna, born Norway
Ole - 25, Victor - 14, Berger R. - 19, Rudolph Hankass, son - 26

1930 - still in Westfield
Daniel 68, Anna - 67
Rudolph 29, age at first marriage 25
Ella, 25, wife, born North Dakota, age at first marriage-20
Laury, daughter, 1 6/12 born North Dakota

1930 is the last census available.

Thank you very much again!
I have all info I need about her brothers, the person who is the problem is Necoline. There is a lot of info. about others in the family(search for Dragland at Google, and you will find different info), but she is a mystery.

From persons at Digitalarkivet(Norway) I have got the advice to look in her brothers obits, I did`nt believe the answere will be there, but I have order these.

Thanks again!!
