Hello,

A few things that might help is his approx. birth year, where he came from in Norway and also last known city and state in the US.

I did find a Bjørn J. Dahl, in New Orleans at:
http://preview.ussearch.com/preview/preview.jsp
The search is free, but to find out details it requires a fee.


This is the link for the White Pages (phone listing) for New Orleans, although I did not see him listed:
http://neworleans.cox.net/cci/searchwhitepages

Here is a free link that might help. There are a lot of Bjørn Dahl's listed:

Good luck!
