| I am researching the voyage of Edvard Hansen (Rødalshaugen) from Ringebu, who emigrated 10.05.1882. According to the information in Emigranter over Kristiania 1871-1930, he traveled via Benneth linje and on the ship Angelo. I have checked the information on Angelo on this Website, but I cannot find any reference to a Benneth (Bennett) line using the Angelo. Could someone clear this up? Ultimately, I would like to find details on Edvard's voyage, so any additional information would be appreciated! For the information on Edvard, click here |

| Thank you! I have looked at the link to F. Bennet and checked departure and arrival dates for the connecting ships. Edvard must have left Oslo on the Angelo 10 or 12 May, 1882. Is it a good guess that he traveled on from Liverpool on 17 May, 1882, on the Nevada, arriving in New York on 27 May? This seems to be the best match, as most of the departures would certainly mean a fairly long stay in England. |

Without scrolling through 21 pages of the passenger list , there is no Edward Hansen listed on the 5-27-1882 list for the State of Nevada.
There are arriving at the Port of New York:
Edward Hansen, 31, arriving June 7, 1882 on the Hekla from Christiania.
Edward Hansen, 21, arriving August 30, 1882 on the SS Geiser from Christiania.
No Edvard or Rodalshaugens. Maybe he delayed his departure for some reason and changed to a direct sailing.

| Thank you! I'll check on these arrivals. Edward and Edvard are certainly interchangeable, and his farm name is not used in the emigration protocol. In my previous message, I was referring to a ship called the Nevada, not the state. Edvard/Edward was bound for Westby, Wisconsin, and he was 21 years old when he emigrated. There is a family myth that Edvard arrived at Boston, but I can't seem to find any appropriate arrivals in May/June, 1882. |

| I don't think the "State of Nevada", "Hekla" or "Geiser" are the right ships, as Bennet was the general agent of the Guion Line in 1882, and those ships were of the State Line and Thingvalla Line. The Guion Line owned a ship named "Nevada" which departed from Liverpool May 17, and arrived at New York May 27 , and we have a confirmed connection for that ship with the Angelo departure |

| Thank you, Børge! This jives with how I interpreted the information in Digitalarkivet and info on the ships related to Agent F. Bennet, which you referred me to in your previous reply. This must mean that there are two ships named Nevada? Jo Anne Sadler refers to a 21-page list for one of them. Is there a passenger list for the other one? Is there landing information for this passage somewhere? |

Ecks! I got the ship's names mixed up, but not the information itself.
The Nevada, built 1868 for the Guion Line arrived from Liverpool at the port of New York on May 27, 1882.
The State of Nevada, built 1874 for the State Line arrived at the Port of New York on May 31, 1882.
There were no Edward/Edvard/Hansen/Hanson on these ships and just the two I pointed out to you in a prior posting. I did specific ship AND general searches for the whole year of 1882, by nationality and not by nationality as sometimes they got their Swedes/Danes/Norwegians mixed up.
Maybe there is an a descendent who published a biographical narrative in some local history journal, you could also research and get copies of his Petition for Naturalization and his Final Papers, it may give the date and port when he entered the U.S.
The passenger lists are the official U.S. Federal Customs Manifests and we are very lucky that they have survived for us to access them. I am not saying he is not there, just that I could not find him. The only thing I can recommend is you get a paid subscription to Ancestry.com or find someone locally who has a subscription and you could search these lists yourself. Or you could rent the microfilms at a local Family History Center.
Sometimes life intercedes and things don't follow the regular path, maybe Edward got sick, had a family emergency, had his money stolen and had to take a later, probably Canadian ship. Several tilmes I have found people arriving on different lines than they originally contracted with. |

| Thanks, Jo Anne! This gives a few things to ponder. One of the Edwards above is promising. I'll see what turns up through your suggestions. |
