Click on a city
to the left to find who You are looking for. The emigration list
contains names of people who emigrated from Finnmark, North-Norway area,
via Trondheim between 1867 - 1925 to USA and Canada. The pages for Alta
and Vadsø contains more information then the other pages. The names are
written as I found them in the emigration lists.
Note for Alta and Vadsø. Many of
the cities in USA was very difficult to read or was not readable, so I
hope there is not to many miss spelled names of places. From 1900 to
1925 there were less information to get from the emigration lists.
Almost all of them emigrated to the northern states in U.S. and/or to
the border at USA/Canada to work in the mines or to fish in the Great
Lakes. The ship mention in the list is the ship they traveled with to
England from Norway. Usually they went to Hull in England, traveled with
train to Liverpool and further with boat to the "promised
land". The trip took about 3-4 weeks. If they emigrated in the
winter season they went ashore in Canada because of the ice on the lake.
