Matilda and Erik Hamre, brother and sister came to the US in 1888 and again in 1892. I've found both of those records. Could someone tell me how I can find the return manifests.
Thank you, Bill Hamry |

Hi Bill,
I have a couple questions for you that may help. Do you have their birth dates and where in Norway they were born? Also, listing the records that you found of their travel to the US from Norway, may be helpful. Do you have any other info on them, such as their parent's names, since they could of used their father's name with "sen" as their last name, since Hamre is obviously their farm name.
Answers to these questions, will hopefully help with the search.
Good luck! |

Their parents were Börre Olsen Hamre and Guri Eriksdatter Lerheim Hamre. The parents are from those respective farms in Mør og Romsdal. The parents moved to Vestnes where Matilda was born in 1868 and Erik was born in 1870. My Grandfather Ingvald John was also born there in 1872.
Sometime around 1877 to 1880 they moved to Vestre Akre, Kristiana, Nydalen parish.
Here is what I know about their immigration.
Börre, Erik and Matilda in 1880. Guri, Erik and eight other children in 1891. Matilda in 1892. I have ships manifest's arrival for all of the forementioned. I just have no information on Erik's and Matilda's Norway return.
Many thanks, Bill Hamry |

| Did the US keep records of outgoing passengers on ships? Did US require a passport for foreign travel then? |

There is some information on US Passport history in a wikipedia article.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_passport#History
From 1789 through late 1941, the government established under the Constitution required passports of citizens only during the Civil War (1861–1865) and during and shortly after World War I (1914–1918). The passport requirement of the Civil War era lacked statutory authority. After the outbreak of World War I, passports were required,[12] though there was no statutory authority for the requirement. A law of May 22, 1918 permitted the president, when the United States was at war, to proclaim a passport requirement, and a proclamation was issued on August 18, 1918. Though World War I ended on November 11, 1918, the passport requirement lingered until March 3, 1921.[13]

| Another question for someone that is more knowledgeable - did Norway keep track of arrivals? |
