The girls are on page 3, of the SS Wisconsin manifest list.
They traveled as Met Syversdatter age 32, Anna Syversdatter age 29. The next name is Met Peters, age 11, female. The next name I can't read, the first name looks like Oh or Ot, the last name ???? no age.

| The foursome aboard the Wisconsin are the ones I referred to earlier. I also could not read the fourth person, and that is why I looked for the other manifest(s). If the final name starts with OT, then it may be Otto, born prior to getting to England. That would also mean that Serena was younger than Otto, and we need to again start looking for her birth in WI. |

Syver Steffensen Juberget age 29 emigrated from Hof to "Sverige" Sweden in 1837, right page #7
Hard to read where he went to in Sweden, looks like Hjerpeliden.
Hjerpe is a place in Sweden.

Järpeliden is located in Södra Finnskoga, Värmland, just across the border for Hof (Åsnes), Hedmark.

Syver Steffenson was born in Hof Hedmark in 1813. His wife Karin entered Norway in 1836. Both went to Sweden late in November 1837 and were married in Hjerpeliden early in January 1838. They returned to Norway for a while but returned to Sweden, where all their children were born. Syver's parents give us another bit of mystery. On a census and also on his death record, it says his parents were Steffen Olson and Marte Steffenson. On the other hand I noted another Syver Steffenson born in 1813 in Hof of Steffen Steffenson and Anne Larsdatter. At the time of Syver's birth, there was widespread famine in Norway because of the British blockade. I suppose Syver could have been an orphan without accurate knowledge of his parents.
