Hi,
Your "Aagot Sæther" emigrated from Kristiania (Oslo) on 27-MAR-1912 together with Nils Eriksen Sæther. Her birthdate is stated "10-SEP-1892", not 1893. Nils' birthdate is 11-AUG-1852. Aagot's residence says "Ø.Bærum", which means "Bærum East", just a few miles west of Oslo.

Hi again,

looks like Aagot's uncle Nils is born in Sweden.
This looks like it could be him:
http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=f00301.wc2&variabel=0&postnr=171227&fulle=true&spraak=e

And this could be Aagot:

Her father is "Peder Eriks. Sæther", born 1860 in Sweden. Peder could be Nils' brother.
BUT: This Aagot Dagny is born in 1882..., at least it says so in the census. It could be a typing error...
