| I was told that Mina Larsdatter b 1850 died during the crossing to America, but also that she married there. I found her leaving Norway on 29th April 1870, but I cannot find the passenger list for the boat. But, were marriages and deaths reported anywhere? Or would any of this show if I found the passenger list? |

Do you know what city she left from. Was she travelling alone, any friends with her? If you can give us more information perhaps we can find her passenger list.

Deaths were usually reported at the end of a ship list, so you find the correct one and you may find out.

| It looks like I need the passenger lists. This is what I have: Mina Larsen (22) from Ringsaker left from Oslo on 29th April 1870 heading for Cedar Falls, Iowa. Frakt 51 spd and she went on the Oder Line. On the same boat heading the same place was Even Nilsen Kjos (22) a Farmer's son. It has been claimed that Mina actually got married on board the ship, in which case it would probably be to Even. I thought I had worked out that the boat from Liverpool was Erie, but I don't get that to fit in. |

Not an easy one. Here is the emigration record for Even.

The five member family directly above Even can be found arriving into New York. But I have looked at all the pages of the manifest and was not able to locate Even.

| Considering the location of Cedar Falls, Iowa and the routes common to get to that location about 1870 I would think a Quebec arrival would make more sense. |

| Thanks all. I found the Canadian site very useful, and have learned a lot, even if I did not find Mina or Even. "The Scandinavian" to Quebec does not come up on the Canadian site and so I find no passenger list. Neither do I find Even in America, so I reckon that this will remain a mystery for the time being. |

A lot of the passengers who left Oslo on April 29th, can be found on the Scandinavian, arriving Quebec on May 16th. The passenger list can be viewed here.

Ancestry.com has the passenger list for the Scandivavian arriving May 16, 1870. I looked over the pages of the passenger list, however I did not find either a Even Nielsen or Mina Larsen on any of the pages. However one thing did turn up. A infant died on May 6 and was listed on page 5. It would appear that this is that infant. So if you can find the correct passenger list it could give you some idea of what happened to Mina at least on the trip to America.

Thanks again, and I got a reminder that assuming is not always useful - because, the story has it that she married a Saugstad brother. Her sister Maria married Ole Evensen Saugstad, so of course it could have been another Saugstad. And yes, I picked on Even because he was going to Cedar Falls and was from Ringsaker.
I have found Maria and Ole leaving Norway on 29th July and later in America and I have in my posession a family tree by an unknown person. The tree has some mistakes and gives no clues as to Mina. I could not find anybody suitable on Scandinavian either, now that you helped me to find the boat. I also kept an eye for Sigstad as Mina came from that farm. I will now try out the links for Ole Olsen. |
