Name: Jensen
Origin: Norway
Gender: Female
Ship name: Hekla
Departure: Christiania and Christiansand, Norway and Copenhagen, Denmark
Arrival: 14 Nov 1891 - New York
Destination: Chicago, Illinois
Source: New York Passenger Lists, 1820-1957

Chr. record #84. Are you sure Inge/Inga is not a female?
The person is listed as female both when leaving Oslo and arriving New York.

Btw; her mother is listed as Olsdatter, not Jensdatter.

Hi again,

I guess we have found HER.. The information Grindflek has is more or less the information I have. He is the son of my second cousin and we have been collaborating earlier. Thank you everyone, now I hope to find children and descendants, if any.
