Hi Norwayheritage!!

My Great-Great Grandmother Eli Kristiansd Delviken (b. 1837) went to America (Marinette, Wisconsin ?) 1880 with her two sons Kristian and Olaf. Ship: Angelo

See 25089, 25090, 25091 here

Is it possible to find out something about them in America?

The only info I have is that Eli may have married a guy from Sweden...

No luck so far on Eli, but I've done some more investigations on her youngest son Olaf.

He was born in Lillestrøm, Akershus as #114 here:

Olaf Bernhard (full name) was born Jul 7, 1875, baptised Sep 12 to father Ole Olsen Over, b. 1819 in Grue, Hedmark.

Eli's first husband was Ole Nilsen Mellem-Stæringen (Stangnes, Eidskog) who vanished under suspicious circumstances in 1873.

Jan, Norway.
