Hi, I am new to this forum. Recently I have been looking for information about the Irgens/Fredland family. The Father of that family, Paul Fredland Irgens would be my great-great GrandpaSo far I have found out that they lived in a place called Forseth (I have found this place on google earth but I have also seen it be called "Fredland"), and they emigrated to Canada in on July 23rd, 1908 on the "Tasso".

I know that before they emigrated their last name was "Irgens", once they arrived in Canada they changed their last name to "Fredland".

The questions I am looking to answer are:

Why did they emigrate to Canada?

How do I find their passenger list on this site? I have only found the Tasso line that goes to Hull, England.

How can I go about finding pictures of them?

Emigration Record might help find the arrival for the family and thus the ship they sailed from Hull to America. The Tasso was what was called a feeder ship used to take passengers to England to catch a larger ship to America.

It is on Ancestry.com so you may need to be a subscriber to Ancestry. Also you willl need to post an e-mail address and I will send you a link. You can also look and see if it is available elsewhere online such as Family Search.
