[#581] emigration from Christiania 1854

[Gjest Johan Jonsson Lindall]

The Johan Jonsson family left Kull in spring 1854 for america. No ship came to Goteborg, so they went to Christiania. there they found a sailing bark leaving for AMerica. It went to Canada. There was cholera aboard and two of Johan Jonsson's children died and one little girl was born at sea. Can anyone help with the ship or confirm a sailing. I have no kallkod.

First of all, these types of questions should be submitted in the third forum, not this one. Secondly, the emigration protocols for Christiania started in 1867, so you will have to hunt passenger lists or Canadian sources. I recommend that you start at the resource site: The Solem, Swiggum and Austheim Ship Index (http://www.museumsnett.no/mka/ssa/) There you will find listings of ships and passengers as well as useful articles.
