I read about an early organized emigration to Australia from Skien in Telemark about a year ago, but I can´t find back to it.
It was an ordinary cargo vessel loaded with timber making two journeys to Australia bringing Norwegian emigrants with them if I remember right.
All I could find was this information where the newspaper Correspondenten (1844-72) from Porsgrunn, Telemark, wrote about an organized emigration to Australia August 1854 on the vessel Actif.
It was 5 Borsum /Bĝrsum farms in Aas/Ċs parish in Akershus county.
Then they should likely be recorded in these church records to set the exact emigration year, not found, hopefully overlooked.
