| Yes, I did get your reply on Adolph who emmigrated in Sept 1882. It seems his wife and young son came over here in 1883. It is difficult to read the 1900 census record but it looks like her is Searcy and the boy's name as Casper. Thanks again. |

| I've learned more since my last entry. Casper was born in 1881 in Norway and he and his mother immigrated to USA in 1883. Her name was Cary, she was born in 1858 in Norway. Can you help me find the name of the ship and the date when they left Norway. |

I found Kasper & Kari .
They arrived at the Port of Philadephia on January 7, 1885 aboard the Lord Clive from Liverpool.
Kari Kristensen, 28, wife, from Norway
Kasper Kristensen, 3, child, from Norway
Only 55 passengers (6 Norwegians).
From the internet (not verified):
Steamship LORD CLIVE, built by R. & J. Evans, Liverpool (engines by G. Forrester & Co, Liverpool), for G. M. Papayanni, Liverpool. 3,386 tons; 116,12 x 12,19 meters (381 x 40.1 feet; length x beam), straight bow, 1 funnel, 4 masts; iron construction, screw propulsion, service speed 12 knots. 28 October 1871, launched. 15 September 1872, first voyage, for the Dominion Line (chartered), Liverpool-Quebec-Montreal. 7 November 1872, first voyage, Liverpool-Boston-Portland. 9 July 1873, last voyage, Liverpool-Boston. September 1873, first voyage, for G. M. Papayanni, Liverpool-Boston. 15 December 1875, first voyage, for the American Line (chartered), Liverpool-Philadelphia. 1888, bought by the Lord Clive Steamship Co (American Line); British flag. 27 September 1893, last voyage, Liverpool-Philadelphia. 1896, purchased by Gastaldi & Co., Genoa, and renamed CLIVE (British flag). 8 November 1896, first voyage, for the Furness Line (chartered), New York-Naples-Genoa. 1 March 1897, last voyage, Leghorn-Genoa-Naples-New York (3 roundtrip voyages; rights to New York-Mediterranean service sold to the Prince Line). April 1898, scrapped.
They would have been processed for immigration down river aboard ship or at the Lazaretto Island quarantine station. The train station was right at the docks so they would have just gotten on a train to their final destination. |

| Thanks so much for your help. That pretty much finishes the Torrison brothers on your side of the ocean. Now just need to find the ships that Ole and Peter came here on, then make a positive connection to Adolph and Cary in Wisconsin. Your efforts are greatly appreciated. Lindy Wise |

Hi The Werkendam was part of the Holland America line and mainly sailed out of Rotterdam. Click Here
Does the passenger list state that Theodore is Norwegian? I don't think Rotterdam would be a common port for Norwegian's to sail out of.

| Theodor Thoresen arrived in New York on May 31, 1890 aboard the Werkendam from Amsterdam, Netherlands. He was born in 1878, age 12 and a native of Norway. Trying to find the ship register where he left Norway and prove him to be the son of Adolph Torrison. Thanks |

Trying to find passenger records for Peter Torrison age 23. Peter came into New York Harbor from Slettin, Germany on Steamer Kati on July 25, 1885. I can't find Slettin on my maps. Did he sail out of Fredikstad?
Theodore Torrison arrived New York Harbor on May 31, 1890 as a boy of 12. Native of Norway, arrived on the S/S Werkendam from Amsterdam, Netherlands. Looking for passenger records for him, also. Did he leave Norway via Fredikstad? Thanks again. |

Thank you, Carla.
Theodore Thoresen arrived in New York Harbor on May 31, 1890 from Amsterdam, Netherlands on the Ship Werkendam. I have that ship manifest. Am I correct in thinking he went from Fredikstad on the Ship Kristiania to Amsterdam, then from Amsterdam, Netherlands then boarded the Werkendam for New York? Where can I find a picture of the Werkendam? What does "dreng" mean? Also what does "frakt" mean?
Then Peter Thoreson came into New York Harbor on July 25, 1885 on Ship Katie. Am I thinking correctly the Katie originated in Stettin, Germany (now Szizecin, Poland) and he boarded the ship in Fredikstad?

| I think I've been tracking the wrong Theodore Torrison. The one I'm looking for was born out of wedlock in Ytre Rendal on 17 April 1878 and named Karl Helmer Theodor, mother Kari Kristensd Skjarbakken, born 1858. The first I find him is in the 1910 census in Montana, he probably came here in the early 1900's. He has been difficult to find, not knowing what name he used to come over. Here is was known as Theodore Torrison. Thanks |
