This is probably the record of her arrival, in spite of the spelling and the listing of her as Swedish. The person above her on the manifest is listed by the transcriber as Sullic Olson age 21 and is probably Gullik Olsen. The person below her on the manifest is Hans Dahl age 19 and the only name spelled correctly. She is listed as travelling to Mass? although Gulik is listed as traveling to Minnesota. Per Finland is also on the same page.
Name: Brunhild Lundrids
Arrival Date: 17 Apr 1892
Age: 50
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1842
Gender: Female
Port of Departure: Liverpool, England and Queenstown, Ireland
Ship Name: Scythia
Port of Arrival: Boston, Massachusetts
Last Residence: Sweden
Birthplace: Sweden

Its most likely Brynild Halvorsdatter, Jackie.
The headstone is in "old" Norwegian language:
Not easy to read the memory incription at the bottom of the stone;
Fred med dit stĝv. Velsignet vĉre dit minde?.
Piece with your dust. Blessed be your memory.

Good Lord, you guys are good. I noticed at the bottom of that headstone that it says "Iversen" at the bottom of the headstone. I almost missed it. Very fascinating because that is the exact same cemetery that Svend Iverson is buried in.
You guys, I got to thank you again. You have answered so many questions and have uncovered long last ancestors we never knew about. I have been in contact with Roar Hansen from Norway who was the ancestor if Halvor Svensen and everything checks out beautifully. I was wondering what happened to Brynild Halvorsdatter and now we know. I am glad to see that she did come to the US and hopefully did manage to see her son again before she passed away. Thank you again guys. From the looks of it, she never remarried. Thanks again guys. I have let Roar Hansen know what happened to his wifes ancestor. They will be glad to hear this as we have been told that he left her behind and guessed he never saw her again. I am glad that this is untrue.
Thank you again.

We are happy for you Lucas.
Svend is buried in the same cemetery.
I am sure this is Brynild (Brynheld) Halvorsdatter´s headstone.
And they lived on Lindtvedt from ab.1882 when Svens became a father to Halvor and in -92 when Brynhild emigrated.
Raustċ/Raustaa is another name for Rustand as Einar assumed on page 8.
There were several subfarms under Rustand with the common name Rustandeiet, but all farms had local independant names as Oksehĝlen, Labberud, Rustandseter etc.
In 1900 because of the headstone we also know that Iversen was still beeing spelled the Norwegian way, later to Iverson.
Guess Roar Hansen have much info to share with you.
We are from the same town but I do not know him.
Definition of the norse names:
Svend (Svenn-Svein); Boy. Today another word for a trained craftsman is a Svenn
Iver; Archer
Brynhild; Armor (breastplate) and battle girl
I have some few old photos from some of the farms to share with you here.
That will be tomorrow, I will try some trout fishing tonight.
Good luck.

I have one last question. Svend Iversons father Iver Sveinson Iverson died when Svend was just a few years old. His twin brother died just a few months later. Did the death records state where these two were buried?

Both Iver Svendsen and his son Halvor died 1864, burried in Nore kirke - Nore Stavkirke since the church in use today was buildt in 1879.
Drawing of church and rectory from 1857 and photo of decorations as they stand today.
More photos of Nore stavkirke
(By the way, one of my ancestors, Halvor Halvorsen, Kravik did some decorations for the church in 1723) |

I friend and I got 9 trouts on the long rod with worm as bite last night in a forest lake so it will be fried trout for dinner today.
The tickets in 1892 for Brynild Halvorsdatter and Gullik Olsen who traveled with her were "Ppd" prepaid, probably by her son Svend Iversen.
Svend paid 200 Kroner for the ticket in 1883, almost 30 Dollar.
Em. route from Nore to Oslo in the 1800s.
The shortest way down the valley was through Veggli, Rollag and Flesberg.
South and east of Flesberg a short road to Hokksund, passing Drammen town to Oslo, see this little datailed map
Add. info from Uvdal for you.

Numedal is called the Middle Ages valley.
Some photos I promised you.
Old storehouse called "Stabbur" or "Loft" from Trċseviken
Stabbur from 1705 and 1709 on Borge
Mellom Eide where young Svend and Brynild lived in the 1865 census, the storehouse is from 1768.
Mellom Eide from another angle.
It seems like all images are given the same name in the title, but they show the right farms.

You are welcome Lucas.
It was wet and dark weather last night and without light not to scare the fish close to land we had to move cauitously. That was challenging.
We had a great time.
It would be great with a fishing trip together.
Stabbur was a house where flour, grain, butter, meat, fish, nice clothes, furn etc were stored.
The constuction of the special fundamentation and the free-standing staircase prevented mice and rats from entering the house.
Strange to think that young Svend Iversen played in the yard on Mellom Eide around the Stabbur in the photo almost 160 years ago.
