I'm trying to find archives where i can search after people from Norway that emigrated to America. I know that my great grand father leaved Norway, but since that we havn't heard anything. His brother went over to try find him. if anyone could give me a link so I could search in files after his name, I would be very grateful!!  |

| It is not easy to give advice if we don't know what you are looking for, where, when , who? Maybe if you gave us some information we could help you. Alot of the information available is on paid websites. |

| he emigrated 9th of january, 1924, from Aalesund i think, with boat. and that is all we know. his name is Johannes Sivertsen Tømmerbak, but I don't think he used Sivertsen. Maybe he used only that name when he reached America, if he did. his brother went over to find him a few years later, and he changed his last name to only Sivertsen. so I don't know what last name Johannes used. this is all the information we have about Johannes, and that is the reason for whyI have started to try and find out more about him. I know that it would be hard, but I wanted to try..hope someone can help me find places where I can search.. on http://digitalarkivet.uib.no I have searched for information many times before.. |

| He called himself Johannes Tommerbak when arriving at Ellis Island 23 Jan 1924, leaving Europe from Southampton on the S/S Aquitania, but he was only traveling to New York in transit. His destination was Tepic, Mexico via New Orleans together with some other men (at least 8) from Aalesund. |
