On the free Ellis Island database for the Port of New York passenger manifests, here is the same Hans Johansen that was in the link that Hopkins provided:
Hans Johansen, carpenter, 21, from Ottestad, leaving Christiania on January 28, 1904 on the Oscar II, arriving Port of New York on February 11, 1904.
Traveling with Martin Johansen, 32, carpenter from Ottestad. They are both going to their cousin, Lars Nelson in Osseo, WI.
There is information and several pictures on this site of the Oscar II. |

Solørlag also covers the Hedmark area of Norway, including Stange. Their annual meeting (Stevne) will be held in Austin, Minnesota on September 14 - 17, 2005. Data is on their web site.
They do have the Stange Bygdebok (farm history), parish films for all of Hedmark, and the transcripts of the films for Stange, Ottestad and Tangen, up to about 1879.
