| Edward, son of Erik Nilsen and Ingeborg Jonsdatter, was born Jan. 18, 1861 in Storsveen, Oyer, Oppland, Norway. According to census records, he came to U.S. in 1882, settling in Lessor Twp. MN. I'm wondering if someone is able to tell me when exactly he left, from what port, the ship he traveled on and what port he came to? His parents, Eric Nilsen/Nelson and Ingeborg Nelson came to America in 1885. I would also be looking for the same information for them. They also lived in Oyer Parish. If there is a website I can go to to look for this information, I would appreciate knowing what it is. Thank you, Dusty |

A Erik Nilson and wife Ingeborg sail from Oslo/Kristiania in 1885 with a daughter named Borgine? But previous residence listed as Sarpsborg -- not Øyer. Perhaps a common name combination... more searching would be best.

| Eric and Ingeborg had a daughter Bergine, who was born June 11, 1864. I know that their son Edward was working in Sarpsborg before he came to this country, so it appears the ones you have mentioned are my family. :) They must all have been living in Sarpsborg prior to coming to the United States. Did you notice the date that they were leaving or does it indicate what ship they were sailing on? |

Is it possible that you can give me the link to these names as you did with Louise Olsdatter? I have been trying to use the link you provided me and entered in various spellings of Erik's and Ingeborg's name, but I cannot seem to get them to come up on the emigrant list. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Thank you, Dusty |

The link I gave you for Louise Olsen also has Erik Nilson listed on the top of the other page. Click on #67844 to bring him up and the rest of the family.
They left Oslo 19 May 1885 on the Thingvalla. Arrived in New York 3 June 1885. Ancestry.com has him listed as Erik Nelson. He is passenger #327.

Erik Nilsen, wife and daughter, see 67844.
Edvard Nilsen (Eriksen) left Kristiania (Oslo) March 11 1882, see 44121.
Edvard Eriksen moved out of Eidsberg in 1882, see
#11, he was born in Øjer Jan 18 1861, confirmated in Eidsberg 1875, see #5.
Edvard came to Eidsberg from Sarpsborg in 1875, see #46.
Erik Nilsen, wife and daughter moved out from Sarpsborg in April 1885, see #15, 16 and 17.
Erik Nilsen and family were living in Sarpsborg 1879 when Borgine was confirmated, see #5.
Edvards sister, Netta, also moved out of Eidsberg 1882, see #10.
She was confirmated in Sarpsborg 1871, see#10.
Erik Nilsen, Storsveen moved to Sarpsborg 1865, see #50-56. The records for moving in at Sarpsborg is #6-12. It seems like they had a "stop-over" in Eidsberg for a year or so.
Elisa Pedersdatter was Ingeborg Jonsdatters "uægte" daughter. See bapt record #85.

Thank you Les. I need to work on that website some more to figure out what I was doing wrong. This information is appreciated. -Dusty |

Thank you for this WONDERFUL information. I knew where Erik and Ingeborg were born, but did not know where they went prior to coming to the U.S. I also knew that Bergine and Netta came to the states, but not sure when. There was another daughter, Ida, whom I'm not sure what happened to. And I had no idea of Ingeborg's other daughter. Thank you! -Dusty |

RE: #46, I notice on the moving record of Edvard Eriksen that "Knold" with another word follows his name. He was only 14 1/2 years old and I see that there are 3 other children of this same age. Was it the custom that children would possibly go and live near the church and do something for the church (since he was also confirmed this same year at this parish) or do you feel the children went here to work on someone's farm, for example. In addition, Edvard took the name "Knoll" after he arrived and lived in the states, after a place he had lived in Norway. Can you tell me if Knold would be in Sarpsborg or in Eidsbert? Thank you, Dusty |

Knold (or Knoll) is the name of a farm in Eidsberg, there are two farms, one north and one south, see map.
You can zoom to your liking, this map also shows the church.
Normally children were confirmated before they left home to find work, that was obviously not the case here.
The other word following his name is "uconf" - (ukonfirmert) i.e. not yet confirmed.

In the emigration record where Erik is leaving from Kistiania, it lists his occupation as "Veimester". Can you tell me what that stands for? Thank you. -Dusty |

I believe one way of translating "veimester" is master roadworker, - responsibility for maintenance of roads in a given region.

It appears from Edvard' and his sister Netta's moving out record that they traveled on the steamship "Drammen" March 11, 1882 to Amsterdam. Would you happen to know what the usual route from Amsterdam to the U.S. would be and possibly what port one would come into from there (such as New York or Philadelphia?) Thank you, Dusty |
