[#71233] Ship manifests & port for 1862

[Gjest Juliann Richens]

My gggrandfather John Larsen immigrated 4 March 1862 from Våler parish in Hedmark. His name was John Larson. How would I find a ships register to find out who else was on board that ship and where it docked when he came to america?

Listed in Våler:Lenke Note that he is travelling together with his his brother(?) and his family. If March 4th was the date they left Våler, they probably would use at least a few weeks before arriving in the US.

A lot of the emigrants in the 1850-70 period went to Canada ( Quebec ) and crossed over to the US.Most of those manifests are missing. Ron
