Hi. I`m looking for my grandfathers brother. He left Norway and Bergen in march 1909 with Cunard line and he was ment to go to Wisc. Maybe he got some kids over there, and then I want to find my relatives over there. Can anyone in here help me with this?

He was single at the age of 53, so then it is no relatives for me in US, but I still learned a lot more of Andreas Fossheim. That was awsome. Thank you guys :-)
