[#81032] Where did Troms immigrants leave from?

[Gjest Mary EllenPeterson]

Could someone please tell me which port Troms immigrants went to when they were leaving Troms to go to America in about 1870. Did they leave from Trondheim? Thank you, Mary Ellen

[Gjest Ron Berg-Iverson]

Yes, most of them went from Trondheim.But you can also find some left Christiania ( Oslo ) after taking a steamer south.Then they crossed to England and took ships from Liverpool and Newcastle to North America.There were also some Norwegian ships which went directly to Canada and the US from Norway.

I forgot to mention some went from Bergen 1874-1924.They can be found here:Lenke
