I have found that members of my family from the farm Østråt, Østeraad, Østeraadt or Austrått (depending on how you spell it) near Sandnes, emigrated from Stavanger (according to the Norwegian National Archives) in 1871 and 1872/1873. In 1871 Even Evensen (or Eivind Eivindsen) Østråt / Austrått emigrated to the USA with Marta Serine Knutsdatter Skaret (her full name) with their son Evan (27 years old). It was to the USA according to the Riksarkivet but according to the information on this site it would appear to be Canada. In 1871 the bark Hebe departed from Stavanger June 10, and arrived at Quebec July 21. She was sailing in ballast, and was carrying 3 cabin- and 56 steerage passengers. All well at arrival. On this voyage the Hebe was mastered by Capt. J.L. Marchussen, and had a crew of 15. The passenger list was archived by the National Archives of Canada [NAC] It seems that Even then returned to Norway in the same year and took Knut (Knud) back with him to the USA. The records are somewhat confused and it is probable that they came back in 1872, for what purpose is as yet unclear. Eivind Eivindson Østrått's wife Marta Serine Knudsdatter sold the farm at Austrått to Anton Kristian (their youngest son) on 25th of January 1888 (we have a copy of the papers on this transaction) so one assumes that she was back in Norway at this time. We do not know if Eivind and Marta went to America, but we know that their children Even and Knut went to America and died there. We do not know if they married before they went to America. Anton Kristian Østraat sold the farm at Austrått probably in 1894 and moved to a farm at Hetland which now is a part of Stavanger (Austrått is in Sandnes). We believe it must have been in 1894 because Torstein was born in Hetland in 1895. If anyone has any information about these individuals, I would be extremely grateful. I am British, the great grandson of Berthel Evensen who emigrated to Liverpool in 1879. I have managed to root out my Norwegian family and even they do not know what happened to Even and Knut.
