I am inquiring about a passenger list for family members from Oystre Slidre, Valdres, Norway. I found them on the digitalarkivet of Norwegians living in Minnesota in 1880 but cannot find them on a passenger list previous to that. His name is Nels Finkelson(age 54), his wife Gerty (age 46) and 8 children- eldest Mary (24) and youngest Peter (2). I was wondering when they came to America and on what ship.
Any help you could give me would be most appreciated!!
Thanks.......

Hello! The reason I am looking for Nels is that he is the uncle of my Grandpa Ole Helgeson that came to America and lived with he and his family for 1-2 years in Adams, Minnesota. Ole's mother's name (Nels' sister) was Ingeborg Finkjelsdatter Ranisaette born in 1830 in Vestre Slidre, Valdres, Norway. Maybe the Ranisaette last name would be helpful to you??
Thanks
