Ragna & Anna Skaarstad

Ragna immigrated to USA in 1907. The ship she sailed on was called Carmania. She arrived in New York on Aug 7, 1907 - 20 years old. She stayed with an aunt in North Dakota. She married Oscar Wedell in abt 1908. She had 4 children in the US and then immigrated to Canada April 4, 1918. They travelled by CPR train to northern Alberta where they homesteaded (they farmed wheat). She had 3 more children in Canada. I think they had a hard life but it was a good life and Ragna was happy. They went to church on Sundays and had lots of friends. Her daughter, Signe Christine was with her when she passed away at home.
