Hello again Daniel!
Just a few words to confirm I recived your mail. Today has been a very hectic day with a quick trip to Oslo in the morning and an afternoon filled with meetings. Then I found my new PC had arrived and had to set it up.
But I still had time to have a quick look at the info you sent me. And I seem to have found the Syneva (in Norwegian: Synoeve) who left Trondheim on april 4, 1871; Her full name seems to be Synoeve Arntsdatter Sylte born 1840 at a small leasehold farm called Syltbakken in Surnadal. Her father was Arnt Olson Stomroed from the neighbouring community of Rindal born abt. 1807 who married Ragnhild Jakobsdatter Sylte from the farm Austigard born 1799. They had 3 children: 1)Ola born 1836 - emigrated to USA, 2)Eli born 1838, married to Jo Jonson Sylte and emigrated to USA, 3)Synnoeve born 1840 - emigrated to USA 1870.
Her father drowned in the river Surna 1842 and her mother is rumored to have gone with her children to USA.
I do not know whether this is your ancestor, but I will keep looking. It's a shame I didn't have your latest info a few days ago as I did return some books to the library last saturday. Those books were from Gauldal, and I know that one of the farms there is called Evjen.
Best regards
Anders
