My great-grandparents came from Norway and traveled on the SS Stavangerfjord to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, arriving on May 28, 1928.
My great-grandfather's name was Einar Eriksen Hagen (last name originally Rognstadhagen; shortened at some point to Hagen). Born in Brandbu, Norway, Sept. 17/1903; died in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, Canada Feb. 12/96.
My great-grandmother's name was Magnhild Aas (they were not married at the time of passage). Born in Brandbu, Norway, Apr. 2/1905; died in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada July 4/82.
I am looking for the passenger list for this voyage of the SS Stavangerfjord. I know they both travelled on this ship, as I have their passports, but I am not sure if this was their original trip from Norway. They may have first gone to Chicago, USA, where some of my great-grandfather's family was.
Any additional information on either of my great-grandparents would be most helpful and appreciated.
Thank-you. |

I wonder if Einar's ship is error in transcribing, seems strange since they both left on the Stavangerfjord

| Thank you all so much for replying so quickly. It looks like we've tracked them both down to the SS Stavangerfjord, as we thought. Thanks as well to Hopkins, as it looks as though you've got the right family in the 1900 Norwegian census. From what my mother can recall, the names of Einar's parents look to be correct. Thanks again! |
