Emigration

Emigration:

Date: May-Jun 1901

Place: Lenvik, Troms, Norway

Note: At the invitation of his brother-in-law, Albert (wife Anna's brother who had gone to America and come back). Sigvardt traveled alone (no other family member) by steamboat from Finnsnes to Trondheim; then across the North Sea to the east side of England where he took a train over to the west side of England to make a 9-day transatlantic steamer landing in Montreal, Canada. There was only one other Norwegian on the ship--a 15-yr-old girl--but there were other people aboard who could translate for them. From Montreal he took a ferry across the canal to Detroit. Then he took a train (probably changing in Chicaco) on to Clear Lake, Iowa. From there he hopped on a street car (running every hour) bound for Mason City, Iowa (population 5000-6000) where he worked in a brick & tile plant. His sister Teresa was supposed to meet him, but he was a little bit too late in arriving.
