I can see you have been busy while I been sleeping Thank you-
Ove vas born march 26 -1848 in Rødenes, the farm was called Skrigerud/Skrikerud.
Antoniette was born oct 4 - 1832 in Rødenes,the farm was called Taagetorp/Toketorp.
They got married in Rødenes jan 15-1869 . They left Norway from Christiania on the ship Scandinavia jun 8-1869., a feeder ship , went from Christiania to Christiansand and to Leith- Oves parents : Andreas Andersen and Ellen Karine Olsdatter. I will have to read all your answers once again , Think I am not quite awake yet

Thank you!
Ove was born march 7- (christened march 26)-1848 (I did have a look at the church record): father Andreas Andersen Tygesend,mother Ellen Karine Olsdatter.
In 1865 they are living at the farm Skrigerud in Rødenes, but where Ove is at that time,?I have tried to locate him -but no luck-
Ove and Antoniette left Christiania jun 8-1869- on the ship Scandinavia. And they left alone, can't find anyone else from Rødenes at that date,
This looks good- could be the right people, Antonette Anslason and Ole Andersen

I found an Antonette Anderson in the 1870 census in Houston, MN. There isn't an Ole with her. She's living with a family named Tennison, I believe. Not sure about the "T".

This census doesn't give a lot of info, but says Antonette Anderson, age 38, female, white, born in Norway and both her parents weren't born in the U.S.

http://content.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=View&r=an&dbid=7163&iid=MNT132_6-0221&fn=Antonette&ln=Anderson&st=r&ssrc=&pid=42001013

I'm not sure it's her. Could they have split up once they got here? There was a big age difference. Could Ole have died? I don't know. I'll keep looking.

I've been searching for the two of them together, but can't find any sign of them, after they got off the Cambria. I do think that is them on the Cambria, because the arrival date matches and so do their ages.

I think we all have been looking for them in MN, Goodhue County to be specific. The 1870 US census is fragmented, but it does have Goodhue County in it.

I know you said that no other family members traveled with them, but do you know of anyone else in the family that maybe came over later and planned to settle in the same area?

Yes, someone did come later, Anette Beata(have a look at my first topic) daughter of Antoniette's sister. Anette and her husband Christian left Norway in 1873, they travelled with Christian's brother Johan. Johan returned to Norway in 1875.
The family history says that Anette went with her aunt-- but I have found out, as you can see, she left some years later
I do not know if any of Ove's family emigrated- but I will check that out--
In the emigration record for Oder-the feeder ship- it says that Annette and Christian were going to Lapeer, Michigan

On june 8 1869 on the Scandinavia only 10 persons planned to go to Red Wing: 8 from Sweden and Antoniette and Ove from Norway. The Swedish names can easily be mistaken for norwegian names. The names are: Erik Jansen Ledin,53 years and wife Maria 52 years,daughter Marie Stina 21,Anders Edvin 19 and Erik 10. - Anders Andersen 23 and wife Ingrid 22.-
single Nils Nygren 37-
(I found one Ole Martin Oppen Næsguten from Nittedal,25 years going to Lansing.He has no connection to my people ,as far as I know)
None of these people came from the same aerea as Antoniette and Ole. Maybe you are right ,maybe they did split up later on-
In 1873 a daughter of Antoniettes sister , Anetta ,(other topic)leaves to go to Lapeer, I thought maybe Antoniette could have been living there at that time.- something like that??

Thanks, Karibeth!

Well now we definitely know that Antoniette and Ole sailed on the Cambria, because the Ledin's(Ledni's) that you mentioned, are listed just below them on the manifest and I found Anders Anderson and his wife Ingrid, listed above them on the manifest.

Just in case anyone else is interested, Erik Jansen Ledin's family from is listed as Ole Ledni 53, Marie 52, Steine 21, Andreas 19 and Erik 10. That's a little different than what Karibeth had for the Scandinavia, but it matches. Also, they are listed as being from Norway, when Karibeth says they are Swedish.

I hope this helps.

To me it does not help at all, but hopefully someone out there are looking for their swedish ancestors. I do belive this happened all the time, swedish,danes,germans and norwegians -quite often signed in with the wrong nationality.- maybe the names sounds the same, and look the same--- or
it could just be an easy way out of a boring job-

Karibeth,

Since you said all of them were heading for Red Wing, if we could find one of the others in a census, there's a chance, slim that it is, that we could find them living near by.

Quite often, you will see people just grouped together under one nationality on a ship's manifest, even if some are from Norway, Sweden or Denmark.

Hopefully, someone will find them.

Good luck! Wanda

Just like to tell you all, thank you so much for all help!! I did manage to get in contact with living members of this family
They do not know if Antoniette and Ove/ole did split up or if he died, but in 1908 Antoniette lived for a while with The Hanson family. The family members have stories about her, and they called her auntie Nettie. Thank you all!!
