Most likely Nils Olaj Nilsen, Sækkestad, see 60396.
His bapt record is #12 and the parents were fisherman Knud Nilsen and Inger Halvorsdatter at Sekkingstad.

The passenger list was completed during the voyage and kept at the port of arrival. Passenger arrival manifests for the port of Boston have been copied to microfilm and can be obtained through either the US National Archives or ordered at any LDS Family History Center.

It is also possible that one of the fee-based websites might have that particular 1907 arrival indexed and/or copied to digital form. |

I assume the two words indicate what employment persons had.
"Losarbeide" is a combination of "løs" and "arbeider", arbeider translates to "laborer", løs in this case is the opposite to "fast" = permanent and together løsarbeider means "day laborer".
"Jernbanearb" is a combination of "jernbane" = railroad and "arb" an abreviation for "arbeider". Jernbanearb translates to railroad laborer then. |

Madeline,
To help with your searching on Ancestry, try using a "?" in place of a letter, if you're not sure how to spell a name. Such as Johns?n. It will give you both Johnson and Johnsen. Just a little hint, that might help you in the future.
