Hi all!

My ggrandfather's brother Alfred Johansen Tingsrud (b. Sørum, Akershus Jan 12, 1889) went to America in March 1907:

http://www.digitalarkivet.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&sidenr=12&filnamn=emikra1&gardpostnr=173434&merk=173434#ovre

(No 173434)

He was heading for Minnesota and went with the ship "Hellig Olav"with some mates, among them Axel Falla (Klemts. Juliussen) b 1885.

Is it possible to find about more about him in America? (Family, death)

According to our "Bygdebok" he married in America.
Alfred is found on Ellisisland, there seems to be a comment: "Reason for immigration - friend Mr J Solberg"

I also wonder who this J Solberg might be?

This family came from a Solberg-farm in Sørum, Akershus, Norway and at least one of Alfred's uncles used the surname Solberg...
Jan, (Mr.) Norway

Hi,

If this works, its a link to the actual page the 4 appear on at the Ellis Island database:

http://www.ellisisland.org/search/shipManifest.asp?MID=05488120970901904960&FNM=ALFRED&LNM=JOHANSEN&PLNM=JOHANSEN&bSYR=1889&bEYR=1889&first_kind=1&last_kind=0&RF=5&pID=101928020347&

#16, 17, 18, 20
It looks as though they are all headed to the same address in Minneapolis:

86 Westkeen (?)

#16 is a relative of H. Christianson, the other 2 are friends of Hagbart Christianson.

There are a few Alfred Johnson in this database who may actually be Alfred Johanson:

Lovely jackie!

The one dying in July 1923 is interesting, my Alfred's parents were Johan Olsen and Kaisa Eriksen/Eriksdotter (She was Swedish)

Excited now...!
