[#38971] Emigrants from Stavanger

[Gjest Patricia Carlsen Mikkelsen]

I am having a difficult time figuring out what happened with this family:Lars Johnsen Eigelandsdal, born at Vasbø in 1822 Wife- Åseline Torjersdatter, born at Bjørnestad in 1829 Two of their four children: Torje, born 1858 and Gemalia, born 1862The Bjerkreimboka states that Torje emigrated to the USA in 1880, see here: [url="http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=STAV&gardpostnr=68153&merk=68153#ovre>LenkeAnd Gemalia emigrated in 1881. This is the closest record I could find for her: LenkeHere is what confuses me. I also found these records in Emigrants from Stavanger 1825-1970.Lars: LenkeÅseline: LenkeTorger: LenkeGemalia:

I agree. This is confusing. In 'Emigranter fra Stavanger 1825 - 1970', Lars, Åselin, Torje and Gemalia are all listed twice Lenke From number 59878 to 59885. There are no information about what year or date the ship left Stavanger. It seems like the information is taken from Hetland ship register 450 page 175.Perhaps someone with knowledge of 'Hetland skipsregister' can help you verify this family as passangers, and also WHEN they were supposed to sail from Stavanger to the USA.Reidun Søbstad
