Hello all

Looking to find any information about my great grandfather Peter Jentoft Harwick. I know his birthday is April 28 1882 born in Narvik, Norway. I believe he came to the US around 1900-1907. In the US lived in New York City. I sent away to NYC for his marriage cert. and death cert. to see if it has any other info that would help me locate his norway origins. I found his birth date and place of birth from a world war II draft registration card.

1920 US federal census for New York, Kings Co., Brooklyn -30th ward of city, 9th assembly district --US National Archives Microfilm Series: T625 Roll: 1157 Page: 93
Peter Harwick lists age as 37, immigration year listed as 1899. Wife also Norwegian born.

1910 US federal census for New York, Kings Co., Brooklyn - US National Archives Microfilm Series: T624 Roll: 956 Page: 300
Peter "Haarbik" lists age as 28, immigration year as 1902 and has started filings to become US citizen.

Citizenship usually required 5 years minimum to complete and citizenships completed AFTER 1906 have HUGE amounts of information about each person. Go after those immigration papers!!!
