Hi,

I know from records that Astrid Ovinda Mathiesen, B 29 Jul 1894 went on the S/S Virginian, departing Liverpool, England on 13 May 1914 and arriving in Montreal, Quebec on 21 May 1914 from there Astrid arrived in Buffalo, New York on 23 May 1914.

Now back-tracking this ... To get to Liverpool in May of 1914 she must have gone from Kristiania to Hull then overland to Liverpool. (I believe there were no direct voyages from Kristiania to Liverpool in May 1914)

There are two possible ships from Kristiania to Hull in May of 1914 - 1914-05-06 S/S Eskimo
1914-05-08 S/S Spero (1)

But I cannot find any passenger list info on this - does anyone else have this data?

Any help very much appreciated !

Thanks.

Search in the emigration databases on the Digitalarkivet website.
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~norway/DigitalArchives.html

They are not "passenger lists" but lists of emigrants leaving that were registered by the police.

Your Astrid Ovinda Mathiesen got married to Carl Martin Jacobson on Sept 19 1917 in Salt Lake City? Her fathers second wife died in Salt Lake city 1938.

Hi,

"Since your Astrid Ovinda Mathiesen got married to Carl Martin Jacobson on Sept 19 1916 was her trip to canada just a short trip?"

Hmmm ... I have the wedding date as 19 Sep 1917, not 1916 - can you tell me where you found 1916?

In May 1914 Astrid emigrated to the US via Canada and passed away on 25 Nov 1971 in Blackfoot, Idaho. They had 6 chidlren, one of whom was my wifes mother.

I cannot find anything on Carl Martin Jacobsen emmigration - no records. He was born in 06 Dec 1884 in Trondhjeim, Norway and died 21 Nov 1953 also in Blackfoot. ID.

I did a search in ttp://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~norway/DigitalArchives.html for Etternamn lik Mathiesen and Førenamn lik Astrid and had zero results, but my understanding of Norwegian is poor so I might have made a mistake.

I also know Astrid's mother, Regine Marie Anderson, B 4 Apr 1858, Fredrickstad, Akershus, Norway also came emmigrated but again I cannot find anything on her either.

Lewis

Thanks

Astrid was very young when she is supposed to have sailed. Did any of these other siblings emigrate?

The reason for the emigration of Astrids mother in 1914 was because her husband Ferdinand Mathisen died the same year on April 10 and was buried in Grønland church in Oslo on April 16. at 2. 30 pm.
The cause of the death was Diabetes.

Einar - I've found that I have to click on "Skjul søkefelt" before I can capture a working link to that type of database on the Digitalarkivet. I do seem to be having computer problems locally but I still can't make those links of yours work.

Wow, lots of great info - Thank you.

Now I am trying to track Astrid's trip from Kristiania to Hull then overland to Liverpool. (I believe there were no direct voyages from Kristiania to Liverpool in May 1914)

There are two possible ships from Kristiania to Hull in May of 1914 - 1914-05-06 S/S Eskimo
1914-05-08 S/S Spero (1)

But I cannot find any passenger list info on this - does anyone else have this data?

Astrids husband Carl Martin Jacobsen is most likely #19
he was born Dec 6 1884 and the parents were Carl Ingvald Jacobsen and Mathilde Olava nee Amundsen.
In the 1900 census
she was a widow, Carl Martin is #31959.
In the 1875 census
Mathilde was living with her parents. Her husband to be was also living at home, see
here
both he and his future father in law were machinists on steamers.

Lewis,
Have not been able to find the immigration of neither Astrid nor Carl. Maybe Astrid went with her mother in 1914?
Was your wifes mother Dorothy or Lucille?
