I am searching for information on Oscar Olson born 22 Sep 1894. He immigrated to the US & then to Canada.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

You can find approximately 45 different Oscar Olson named boys in the 1900 Norwegian census scattered around Norway in many different areas. Of course there are spelling variations to be expected in Norwegian records -- Oscar/Oskar and Olson/Olsen etc etc.

You'll need to have more information to try to narrow down to the correct Oscar Olson.

Thanks for the responses. I will do some more digging on this end to see if I can find out where he was born &/or the names of his parents.
