Budstikken, May 1983
"Statsraad Vogt" in 1848 Carried Many
Valdreser to America
Budstikken is again indebted to Samband member Gerhard B. Naeseth for a
ship's passenger list. These are passengers who were on board the "Statsraad
Vogt", which sailed from Bergen under the command of captain Mentz Solberg. The ship
arrived in New York July 3, 1848. The last four entries are from Bergen, all others from
Valdres.
One will note that most of the passengers are family groups consisting
of husband, wife and children. The wife's surname is her patronym. There may be a few
entries that raise a question but perhaps readers who discover relatives listed have
additional information which will help to clear up any doubts about the relationship of
family groups.
