Johan may have entered America through the port of New York - but what reason would there be for him to stay in that huge city?

You should probably investigate records of Koochiching County, Minnesota. 1910 US census would seem to show a Norway born "John Robertson", 31 years old, year of immigration 1907, married and with several children.

The wife of Johan Robertson and three Norway born children head to Minnesota the year after he emigrated?? -

Thank you Tor for posting that. I also see no point in duplicating the efforts of others.

This poster has a history of doing the "naive, I don't know anything" type of posting on this site and that is why I would never bother to help him.
