According the information in the Norwegian police registers, she traveled on a ticket from the "Canadian Pacific Line". Their agents were authorized to convey emigrants to Quebec, Montreal and St.Johns and by Canadian Pacific Railway to the final destination in North America. It is quite likely that she traveled on the S/S Aaro of the Wilson Line from Aalesund to Hull in England. The Aaro took passengers destined to travel from Trondheim on the 20th, and would pick up passengers in Kristiansunsd and Aalesund on the way to Hull. From Hull she would have traveled by train to Liverpool to board a transatlantic steamer for Canada.

Thank you very much Borge for shedding more light on Sofie. I had been searching the passenger records of Ellis Island without success. Sorry for messing up the board here by clicking on the wrong buttons. Also, I think I unsubscribed to the whole board but meant to simply remove myself from the Anderson file.

Nothing was messed up Jane, it just takes a little time to get used to how the board works. I hope you will have success in finding the Canadian passenger list and ship.

When her son left Norway in 1902, he used the name Ole Espehjelle, Nydal. He was 20 years old. In the 1900-census they were still at Stranda. Ole (birthyear 1881) who was a tinker, lived with his widowed mother Sofie Kristiansd. (birthyear 1852) at Skagedal farm. Sister Emma (birthyear 1887)was in foster-care at Slettevold farm. Sofies husband's first name was Ole. In the census of 1865 Sofie is at the farm Ringstad Espejelnæs with her parents: Christian Anderss. "cotter on the shore" 43 years old, born in Sunelven Parish and Ingeborg Zerkvedsd. 50 years old born in Strandens Parish.
