(I will update these)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>By using the links &#8220;Previous&#8221; and &#8220;Next&#8221; you can see who are listed next to your subject in the emigration journal. I advice against using the &#8220;First&#8221; or &#8220;Last&#8221; links as these will bring you to the beginning or to the end of that particular emigration journal. As some of the journals have a time span of several decades, it can be easy to get lost.<\/p>\n<p>In my experience, families are listed together as you can see <a href=\"https:\/\/media.digitalarkivet.no\/view\/43618\/296\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in this link:<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Johannes O Nebben &#8211; husband<\/li>\n<li>Anne Nebben &#8211; wife<\/li>\n<li>Sigrid Johannes(datter) &#8211; daughter<\/li>\n<li>Marie Johannes(datter) &#8211; daughter<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you try out the\u00a0&#8220;Previous&#8221; and &#8220;Next&#8221; links you will see that, in this record, the daughters \u00a0are listed before their father and Anne is listed after her husband Johannes. This may vary from record to record.<\/p>\n<p>Here we saw a family of four, but also people travelling alone, &#8220;might not be travelling alone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If we look at<a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalarkivet.no\/en\/view\/557\/pe00000000674691\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> this \u00a0emigrant record from May 15th 1885<\/a><\/p>\n<p>we see <strong>Ingeborg S\u00f8rendtr Kjersem<\/strong> depart Bergen. Looking at the &#8220;Birth place&#8221; and &#8220;Residence&#8221; we see that she came from Vestn\u00e6s (today Vestnes).<\/p>\n<p>Using the &#8220;Previous\/Next&#8221; links we see that on the same boat (of the &#8220;State Line&#8221;) \u00a0there were others with connection to Vestn\u00e6s:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Anne H Sylte<\/li>\n<li>Synneve L Uri<\/li>\n<li>Erik Hannibalsen Sylte (born in Vestn\u00e6s. Recidence: Bergen)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ingeborg, Anne and Erik is connected to the village Tresfjord in Vestnes. They surly must have known each other before departure. Synneve&#8217;s last name Uri does originate in Norddal parish, but as she is listed as born in Vestn\u00e6s it is likely that she was also part of a possible travel party.<\/p>\n<p>Ingeborg is a possible hit for a lady in the US looking for her ancestors in Norway. She have very little information about her Great-Grandmother. It is likely that Ingeborg changed both her first name and patronym when she arrived in the US, as she &#8220;disappear&#8221; from the records. There are however, several clues that points to Ingeborg.<\/p>\n<p>Often young people travelled together in groups. If you &#8220;lose&#8221; your possible candidate,\u00a0it can be an idea to try to look for the people they travelled with and see if it is possible to track them in the US.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Knowing who the travel companions were, can sometimes help if you &#8220;lose&#8221; your ancestor(s) on the dock.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3952,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","nf_dc_page":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpscppro_dont_share_socialmedia":null,"_wpscppro_custom_social_share_image":0,"_facebook_share_type":"default","_twitter_share_type":"default","_linkedin_share_type":"default","_pinterest_share_type":"default","_linkedin_share_type_page":"","_instagram_share_type":"default","_medium_share_type":"default","_threads_share_type":"default","_google_business_share_type":"default","_selected_social_profile":[],"_wpsp_enable_custom_social_template":false,"_wpsp_social_scheduling":{"enabled":false,"datetime":null,"platforms":[],"status":"template_only","dateOption":"today","timeOption":"now","customDays":"","customHours":"","customDate":"","customTime":"","schedulingType":"absolute"},"_wpsp_active_default_template":true},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-genealogy-general"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.0 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
