Ernest,
These are Scandinanvian names and VERY common ones at that, so you need to provide some more information. Were they from Sweden, as the "son" ending for Ernest implies, or were they from Norway or Denmark, which the "sen" ending for Borghild implies? Where specifically were they going? When were they born? Do you know names of family members, such as siblings or parents? (Provide this information on the board, and better yet, the Swedish (or Norwegian or Danish, depending on where they lived before emigrating) board in addition to this board.
I did search the (Swedish) Emigrant CD to see if anyone who fit Ernest's name arrived that year. There were lots of hits, and that doesn't count those who emigrated with just initials.

It is a good idea to post in the forums for the countries from which these people emigrated. There are people with specialized knowledge about those countries on those boards. Here is one for Sweden.
