| Well, if you are trying to find the passenger lists for 1901-1902 on this site you are looking on the wrong place. We only have the pre 1876 passenger lists. You should be searching the Digitalarkivet emigrant registers database, or maybe Ellis Island. You can find links to those other sites in the table further below on this page. |

| Where is or was Xania I found a very close match to my Maren Larsen but the residence says Xania instead of Drommen. Are they close to one another? She could have been working there. martyj |

Xania is an abbreviation for Chriatiania - Kristiania, now Oslo.
Drommen is probably Drammen, not far from Oslo. |

Hi Martyj,
My Gr. Gr. Grandmother was Meren Lawson (Larsen) married to Lars Lawson (Larsen) of Kristiania, Norway. I have been trying to find family of my Gr. Grandfather, Fritjoff Lawson (Larsen) born in Kristiania on August 16, 1867. Is it possible that your Maren is one of his sisters? Do you have any information on her siblings? Lan |

| My Maren Larsen was born in Drammen in 1883 and came to South Dakota in 1901. Her parents names were Kristopher & Anne. She had three brothers & three sisters. Two brothers Lars & Andreas came to USA. The third brother's name was Sigurd Albert b. 1886 in Skroger. To my knowledge he stayed in Norway. |

| My fathers name was Arthur Carl Larson, b.oct.17,1920, in Muskegon Mi., d Apr.9, 1996. His father was Carl C. Larson b. Jan. 20,1881, in Norway, d. Dec. 11,1953. His mothers name was Elsie Christiansen (Swedish, I think) Larson of Muskegon, Mi. Carl came to the U.S. with his parents John and Martha (Christoplsen?, Christoferson?Christiansen? Christ??????? not to sure) Larson when he was about 4 yrs. old. John and Martha's children were Minnie, Martha, Matilda and Carl, John, jr. Martin. Could any of these be related to your family? Thanks, Diana Larson Sonntag |

Hi, I'm trying to find the ship and port in Norway my gg-grandparents sailed from sometime pre-1895----to England.
Then from England,in 1900 they went to USA to New York, then to Philadelphia, Pa.
Their names were: Edward Larsen, born in 1860, and Sophie Iversen H/W , with mother Jeanette. No info on Jeanette's husband. I do know that Sophie was born either in Oslo or Olsfold.
Thanks to all the nice people for any help. |

Please reading the Posting Guidelines - do not post your inquiry on some else's posting, start your own new one.
That said, there is a Philadelphia passenger list index and it is available on microfilm rental from LDS - www:familysearch.org. If they came to Philadelphia, they should be on the index. The actual passenger lists are on microfilm also. I know of no Philadelphia passenger lists or indexes online. |
