Lovise Olsdatter, dau. of Ole Nilsen and Maren Skjollersdr., born 26 April, 1863 in Rostad, Skeberg, Norway, was granted permission Sept. 30, 1881 to leave her parish for American.
Can someone tell me what port she may have left from and what ship she traveled on and possible what port she would have arrived at. She ended up in Crookston, Polk Co., MN.
Thank you, Dusty |

Skjeberg is in Østfold county, South of Oslo. This could be her leaving Oslo 25 Nov. 1881.
#58798.
Her residence is given as Eidsberg, which is North of Skjeberg.
Her destination was Brandon. Is that a significant name? There is a Brandon, MN.

| The age and timing are right for it to be her. However, it appears she may be traveling with Ole Johanssen as he appears to be from the same place and headed for the same place as her. "My" Louise was living in Crookston and married Edward Nilsen in 1885. I will try to find on a map where Brandon is located in relation to Crookston. Thank you for this information! :) -Dusty |

The bapt record for Lovise is #61, parents Ole Nilsen and Maren Johanne Skjøllersdatter, Røstad nordre.
Ole Johannesen moved out from Eidsberg, see #64.
No record for Lovise in Eidsberg, the emigration record is most likely wrong.

The 1865 census of Lovise and her family may provide some additional info.

Maybe you already know, but Lovises parents were married in Tune Jan 25 1856, the record is #11.
Lovises mother was actually baptized Karen Johanne, see #104. Parents Skjøllert Larsen, Gjelsnæs and Kari Jensdatter.
Schiølert Larsen, Ødegaarden 20 years old and Kari Jensdatter, Belsbye 21 years old were married Dec 26 1817, see #1.
Schiølert Larsen was baptized July 1 1798, see 3rd record in 3rd column. His parents were Lars Schiølertsen and Birthe Mathisdatter, Ødegaarden.
The family in 1801.
Kari Jensdatter was baptized Oct 16 1796, see next to the last record in far right column. Her parents were Jens Thuesen and Pernille Arnesdatter, Belsbye.
The mother was married 2nd time in 1801.

| Thank you so much for this information. I searched and searched for Maren's birth record and in looking at her age at death and at census records, Karen's birth record is the only one that seemed to fit for her. This confirms what I thought. Your information has been very helpful to me! I appreciate it alot! |

Dusty, it seems you have census information for Edward and Louise living in Polk County.
All I have been able to locate is a death record for an Edward Nelson who died 23 Sep 1926, and a Louise E. Nelson who died 20 Apr 1925, both in Polk County.
Are they your relatives?

Hi Les, I do have info. on Edward and Louise once they came to Polk Co. and remained there. Actually, he was having such a problem with his mail, for example, once he came to Polk Co. (due to Nelson being such a common last name), he changed his name to Edward N. Knoll and remained with that name. So, they died as Edward and Louise Knoll and I do have a copy of their death certificates. Thank you again for your great help! -Dusty |

Even though this may be the wrong Lovise, I found her in Ancestry.com, on the Britannic, which sailed from Liverpool and arrived NY on 12 Dec. 1881. She is passenger #170, listed as Lovisa Olsen, Age 18, male. Right above her is Ole Johannesen, age 19.
I would call her a POI,(Person Of Interest).

| Les, thank you for looking into that. I will certainly keep a record of what you have found as a very good possibility of her being "my" Louise. Generally, in your experience, if she received permission from her parish to leave Sept. 30, do you think a person would not leave for another two or so months? Also, thank you again for giving me that website info. as I'm finally figuring out how to enter names and search better on it. I found some other relations that I was wondering about on it today. I appreciate your help! -Dusty |

If you are using the Oslo emigration record, here is the full list of ports available from Digitalarkivet.

Suggest you add this to your Favorites or as a Shortcut, as it is a little tricky to find.
