I have found my grandparents coming into the US but need to know when they left the US to visit back home in Norway. Does anyone know where can I get this information?
Thank you!

Passenger lists are issued for customs purposes in "arriving countries", not departing countries. I am only talking passenger lists here, not embassy visas, police exit records, etc.

There are other sources, if they were U.S. residents, then you can try to find them coming back home from Norway on passenger lists for people arriving in the U.S.

If they were U.S. citizens, they would have had to have a passport issued. If they did, in fact, apply for a passport to go to Norway, you can try to obtain a copy of their passport application. I recommend you go to Cyndislist.com to research this.

Passport offices do not have information on when/where/how they traveled after they were issued their passport. The government even now with computers, much less in the early 1900's, can just keep track of so much information on people.
