[#3676] Sam Olson /Bergen Norway 1863

[Gjest Donna Broberg]

My grandfather,Sam Olson,born 5/25/1863 Bergen. His father was Ole Olson, living on Hatlelie Farm. Do not know his mother's name. Had a brother,Ben Olson born 1865. Sam Olson immigrated to US from Bergen 5/1/1881(or 1882)on Cunard Line. Arrived 5/20/1881(or 1882) New York. Settled in Wisconsin. I have researched passenger lists for a Cunard Line but have been unsuccessful. The Dec of Intention says he immigrated 1882 and the Naturalization papers say 1881. Is there another name for the ship other than Cunard Line? Also, are there Norwegian Documents that would have been completed before he left Norway and would they have his parent's names?? I'm at a stalemate in my research and would appreciate any information that would help me with additional links to the family history puzzle. Thanks in advance for your advice. Donna
