| A lot of odd things about this person. Age should be older than 22/23 in the Emigration and Immigration rccords and why is she listed as Svensk in the old meta data base. |

When I was still able to order a microfilm copy of an emigration protocol from Oslo I found that my great-grandparents were listed across the two facing pages of that record and that the right hand page the person writing had slipped the data down a line so that it misrepresented the furthermost right hand column information.
Tom - if you ever get a chance, try to get a look at the original handwritten document. But perhaps the Swedes leaving on that same ship and listed just above Margit caused the writer to make a mistake. |

She probably worked on Mogen.
Mogen was a mountain farm at the NW shores of Lake Mĝsvatn where fishing and raindeers-hunting was an important food-Resource for the farm, and is now a vell visited tourist cottage link |

Margits father Svend Christophersen was from Mogen / Argehovd in Tinn.
Svends parents was Kristoffer Olavsson Mogen & Margit Olavsdotter Argehovd, and they had many children:
Olav (Underberg), Torstein, Andres, Svend, Kristoffer, Anne & Katrine.
Kristoffer originally from Varbergane in Ĝyfjord.

I visited Argehovd 1965 on a fishing trip to the mountain plateu Hardangervidda, fishing Trout.
We got plenty of mountain trout, our backpacks were almost full. Argehovd is ca 15 minutes walk fom Mogen.
The boat-trip from Stegaros to Mogen lasted ca 3,5 hours. The Journey goes much faster today.
I don't know if this move is available in America, 29 minutes from Argehovd link |
