 | Passengers aboard the ship Victoria in 1868
The family of Ole Pederson and the family of Kristine Pedersdatter are listed as passengers aboard the Victoria.
They left the city of Christiania (the name for Oslo, Norway at that time) on April 29, 1868 on the bark "Victoria" and arrived in Quebec on July 16, 1868. The family of Ole Pederson and Karen Nilsdotter are entry #s 164, 165, 166, and 167. Their residence was listed as Kristiania(Oslo)/Sørum. The parish of Sørum is just north of Oslo, so it is understandable they named both areas.
Also note the four names above Ole Pederson. They are also from Kristiania/Sørum. Further investigation reveals that this family is the brother-in-law and sister of Ole Pederson.

See also http://www.norwayheritage.com/articles/templates/voyages.asp?articleid=82&zoneid=6 which features a short story told by Guri Thorsdatter Trøo Jeglum about the crossing on the Victoria from Drammen to Quebec seven years prior to our ancestors' voyage on the same vessel.

Died:
- Obituary reprinted in "From Norway to North America: The Descendants in Canada and the United States of Olaf and Caroline Pederson" by Jean E. Peterson, 1981.
One of the pioneers and early settlers of Hope township in Cavalier County, North Dakota, passed away to the unknown beyond on November 12, 1924. Olaf Peterson was born at Hallan (sic), Norway, September 7, 1833 and was at his death 91 years, 2 months and 5 days old.
He immigrated to America in the year 1869 and first settled at Selkirk, Manitoba, living there for one and one half years.
He then moved to Pembina county, close to Pembina city. There he helped to take in all the hardships of the early settlers, which were at times mostly unreasonable, but Mr. Peterson was one of the boys and never grumbled or worried over hardships. About 36 years ago, he moved from Pembina to what was afterwards called Hope township in Cavalier County, N. D. where he had made his home with his family, except three years that he lived at Spalding, Sask., Canada, where he proved up a homestead.
Mr. Peterson was a continuous resident here since 1914. He had lived in Hope township with his (son) Charley. Mrs. Olaf Peterson (Caroline) died eight years ago, February 4, 1916, and was 74 years old. To them were born the following children, all of whom are well and favorably known in Hope township and Cavalier county: Seward Peterson, Adolph Peterson of Vang; Mrs. Ole H. Olson of Vang; Mrs. Sarah Quale, Brinsmade, N.D.; Mrs. Ida Curry, Star City, (Manitoba: sic) Sask.; Pete Peterson of Vang; Mrs. Sam Braaten, Vang; Fred Peterson, Vang; Ole Peterson and Charlie Peterson, Vang.
Olaf Petersons were grandparents to 66 children and great-grandparents to 42. Olaf Peterson as a neighbor could not be excelled and it can honestly be said about the children that they have been an honor to their parents and also to our community.
Mr. Peterson will be greatly missed by all his friends for his jolly stories and his native (narratives?) of early days and pioneer settlers.
Interment took place November 18 at the Vang cemetery.
