I am looking for anything about one Peder Marelius Carelius Rudsberget, born March 23rd 1877, Fet or Lillestrom in Akershus, Norway. This may be Peter Andersen Ruud who May 17th 1905 sailed with Oscar II from Copenhagen to New York, arriving May 20th: Peter was a painter who went to Boston with only $10 in his pocket.
The family in Norway lost track of him, it is said that he married a Norwegian girl, but we don't know anything about him or her after he emigrated, and he or his children were impossible to find when his mother died in 1928!
