Hi,
I'm back again. I discovered (mostly due to your research, lyndal40-22/09/2011) that my uncle Olaf Johan Hansen Solo and aunt Jenny Amalie Hansen Solo sailed for America in 1905, before the rest of the family. I have been trying to find out what ships they sailed on and what was their destination but when I go to the sites that are supposed to lead to lists of emigrants and ships I find myself going around in circles and never getting to a list of the passengers. The parish register lists 4/30/2005 and I think their departure date was 9/25/2005 but it is difficult to read. I would like to find out the ships they sailed on, their destination in America, & any other information you can find. Sorry I am still such a dope at research after all this time. Becky |

There is a database about the Solo family and this is what is says about Oluf's & Jenny's travel:
"...Came to US in 1905 with sister Jenny aboard ship "Saxonia" arriving in Boston harbor in 1905. Sent for future wife Hilda who arrived a few years later"
Here is the database. It hasn't been updated in a while but there is an email address for the poster--you may want to write:
