There is a Family Tree on Anestry.com that contains a large number of photos of the family. This is from one of the photos.
"Johannes and Johane (Jensdatter) Olson were born in Norway, as was their first child Helen. The arrived in America (Wisconsin) in Aug of 1850. Their second child Maria was born in Oct. of 1850. The Olson book says that they travelled by sailboat for 13 weeks to get to America! Then Johane gave birth two months later! I think we come from some strudy stock. The 3rd through the 7th children were born in Wisconsin. The family stayed there for 19 years and then came to Albaton,Iowa. in Aug of 1869. Johannes and Johane Olson lived in that same place until Johannes death on Dec 26, 1897. "
The above is part of a caption on a photo conaining Johannes and Johane Olson and about 44 other people ranging in ages from babies to elderly people. I think it is safe to assume that the 44 are descendants of Johannes and Johane. |

This may be a part of the Olson Book, found in a Family Tree on Ancestry.com.
"Johannes Olson Family
Posted 18 Jan 2014 by rjkel1
Johannes Olson was born December 31, 1823, in Toten Norway. He died December 26, 1897, at his home in Albaton Iowa. He was married to Johane Jensen, who was born August 2, 1821 in Nace, Norway. She died March 5 1907, at her daughter's home, Mrs. Josephine Johnson in Sloan Iowa. They left Christiania, Norway May 2, 1850, to make their home in America. It took them thirteen (13) weeks to make their trip across the ocean in a sail boat. They arrived in Muskego, Wisconsin in the first part of August and went on foot to Neeha, Wisconsin a distance of 25 miles. They settled on a farm near Winchester, Winnebago County, where they endured the hardships of pioneer life, and they had the Indians to contend with. Johannes Olson served in the Civil War.
They owed for their transportation. They sold their farm in the spring of 1869 and came by covered wagon to Sloan Iowa on August 12 on the birthday of their oldest grandchild, Norman Olson.
To this union were born seven (7) children, two boys and five girls. Helen Olson was born in Norway and was five years old when they came to America. The other children were born in their home in Winchester. The names of the children are: Helen Olson, Maria Hennum, Clara Peterson, Martin Olson, Ole Olson, Josephine Johnson and Christena Nelson.
They lived continually at the place where they settled on until the death of Johannes Olson on December 26, 1897.
He was a thrifty, honest, hard working man. During his first hard years he carried a sack of flour 25 miles for his family. His motto was, " Old age is hard enough without worrying about your daily bread". |

This might be Johannes, Johanne, and Helene, departing Christiania on the Incognito

.
This was the first sailing of the Incognito found recorded, according to Norway Heritage. In addition to the passenger manifest, also posted on this site is an ad in which the ship owner advertises, seeking passengers.

Norway Heritage reports that in 1852 the Incognito failed to return from a trip to North America. The ship departed New York, but was then never heard from again.
