Børge - I find this ship was involved in the immigration of some people connected to my family. I understand that Næseth makes a passing refernce to LORENA. I understand that the ship carried some 207 immigrants, nationality not specified. Maybe <theshipslist> can help on this one. The names I have are: Saave Gunderson Espestøl, Aasne Olsdtr and Hage Saavesdtr. They were from Vinje,Telemark. Jim
I have this list, it is full of Norwegians, no other nationalities but it sailed from Havre. The problem with this list is that it lists passenger by passenger until # 154. After that listing it lists only the head of household, with only numbers and open spaces for the other members of the group. I can confirm that passenger # 202 is entered as "Sovoe Gundersen Espetol". There was a fold on the list there, so it is hard to say if he was accompanied by 3 or 4 other people in the group. I will put this list and the Johanna list as my # 1 priority for transcription, and will include scans.
