May great grandmother Kristen Marie Marcussen married Karl Hess in Nordmannvik in 1874. They later emigrated to Brooklyn New York with their Daughter Louise Carolyn Hess. Karl's father was Karl Martin Hess. I have abeen able to find no more information about them. Any clues would be appreciated.

Yes. My father believed that they had emigrated from the port of Haugesund. They immigrated to Brooklyn NY but I do not have the date.
