I`m trying to find some information about Jenny Mathilde Johansdatter. She was born in Vefsn, Nothern Norway 28. February 1884. Farmname i s Greva.
I can`t find her on any passenger list and I don`t know when she left. She got married some where in hte USA with a man from Italy.
Her brother, Nels Greva, died in Calefornia i 1973. Another brother called Peter Johnson died also in Calefornia in 1979.
She had a halv-sister called Berit Maria Johansdatter, married to Per Nilsen Kulstad, they went in 1866 (he) and 1867(she). I can`t find them either. They had a daugther called Marie Lovise born in 1863 og 1864.
Can someone help me to find information about them??

Hi.
I don`t know if she is "my" jenny. It`s a lot of girls from Vefsn/Vefsen with the same name.
I have found this name earlier, but it is too litle information to be sure. Thank you anyway..

More information:
When the father of this people; Jenny, Peter, Berit and Nels died in 1896, Berit lived in Lincoln City. Another brother Andreas Falk Johansen lived in Sioux City.
My grandfather, also a brother of them, went to Nilson B.C. with a ship in 1910. He went home after 4 years. They was 13 siblings, from 2 marriages, and 4 or 5 of them moved to America.. But I don`t know anything about them.
