Hi
I am trying to help a friend getting some information about Trygve Bakkerud, born in Kristiania (Oslo, Norway) in 1893.

He emigrated to USA or Canada (most likely to Canada)….
and – that is all the information we have.

If someone is able to help, we would be most grateful

Hi Knut;

there's only one person with that name in the 1900 Census:
http://129.177.171.80/cgi-win/WebCens.exe?slag=visbase&sidenr=2&filnamn=f00301&gardpostnr=7507&personpostnr=202947&merk=202947#ovre

I had a brief look for him at the Emigrant Archives, could not find him.
However, it looks like he arrived Halifax:
Match quality: 2 out of 5 Canadian Passenger Lists, 1865-1935
Immigration & Emigration

Name: Trygve Bakkerud
Birth Country: Norway
Port of Arrival: Halifax, Nova Scotia

Name: Trygve Bakkerud
Birth: year - Norway
Departure: location
Arrival: date - Halifax, Nova Scotia

I'm sorry, I don't have access to the Record.

I also looked for him at other revords at ancestry.com but could not find him. Do you have more info on him? Family, did he change his name and so on.
