The next record is an immigration record regarding a ship called Haverford that left Liverpool September 3 1902 and arrived in Philadelphia.

Louise Christensen is passenger no 20 on the list, and this time her destination is Chicago, Illinois and she has listed J. Jorgensen as the relative she is visiting. This must be the same Johan Albert Jørgensen who sold the remaining part of Storakeren to Kristen Andreas Kristensen in 1881 before emigrating to the US the following year. The familien must have stayed in touch.

Louise Christensen er passasjer nr 20 på listen, og hennes destinasjon er Chicago, Illinois. Hun har oppgitt J. Jorgensen som slektningen hun skal til. Dette må være den samme Johan Albert Jørgensen som solgte sin siste del av Storakeren til Kristen Andreas Kristensen i 1881 før han emigrerte til USA året etter. Familiene må ha holdt kontakten.
