I try to find out what happend with one of my relatives after he left Norway.
Henning Andreas Johnsen was born in Borge, Nordland apr 17 1864 as son of Johan Fredrik Henriksen (Törmenen ) and Jacobmina Anna Hansdatter.
Nordland fylke, Borge, Ministerialbok nr. 880A05 (1844-1868), Fødte og døpte 1864, side 95.
http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:NBN:no-a1450-kb20050420020341.jpg
After a period the family left Borge for Ibestad in Troms. Henning leaves Ibestad apr 28 1891 with destination Minnesota.
Troms fylke, Ibestad i Ibestad, Ministerialbok nr. 12 (1890-1900), Utflyttede 1890-1891, side 429.
http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:NBN:no-a1450-kb20060427030151.jpg
The next time I find him (I belive it is him, even if his year of birth is wrong) is when he leaves Trondheim for America.
Emigranter fra Trondheim 1867- 1930 (1891):

I do not know if I am wrong, but could it be possible that the ship "Hero" only sailed to Liverpool?
This cause I have found one Henning Johansen who arrived New York june 10 1891 with "City of Chester"

Can someone give me a little help a step forward, or correct me if I am on a wrong track.
Many Thanks

Yes, you are probably right that Hero is a "feeder" ship and that Henning could very well have been on another ship that arrived in America.
His departure record shows his passage was paid for in America. This could mean that a local person already over here hired him to come to work in America or that he already had relatives here. If there were relatives here do you have any idea who they might be?
Does the name Grienstad mean anything to you?
Henning's family lived on Grunstad in the 1865 census:
http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/WebCens.exe?slag=visbase&sidenr=2&filnamn=f61862&gardpostnr=239&merk=239#ovre
Here is a Henning J. Grienstad in the 1900 US census who was born in Norway in April 1864 who came to US in 1891 and who lives (in 1900) in Minnesota:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/M9Q9-5XH
Here is the marriage of Henning A. Johanson and Ida Einertson at www.mncounty.com (MOMS):
CHIPPEWA
BK C - PG 134
10/6/1894
JOHANSEN, HENNING A.
EINERSON, IDA L.
I think the Grienstad in 1900 is yours. I looked for Grienstad in the death index database at www.mnhs.org but found none. Looking at the image of the name, rather than the transcription of the name, it appeared to me that the name was Grunstad, the small mark above the vowel which the transcription interpreted as ie was actually old form Norwegian writing for u.
Here is Henning Grunstad's death in the online Minnesota Death Index:
GRUNSTAD, HENNING
Date of Birth: na
Place of Birth: na
Mother Maiden Name: na
certid# 1923-MN-002396
Date of Death: 14 Dec 1923
County of Death: CHIPPEWA
Not much more information than in the index, except that his birthyear is given as 1864 and that he died in Montevideo, Minnesota:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FD3R-FRW
A man named David Johnson has Henning Grunstad in his family database (database last updated on 30 Jan 2012) at www.rootsweb.com, you may want to contact him:

Many Thanks. You gave me a invaluable help. If I do not remember wrong, I think that Hennings mother came from "Grunstad" in Borge.
You gave me a lot of information to follow.
Again, many thanks |

On the same ship as Henning and also on the same page of the ships manifest is Thore Bjornstad. Making it very likely that the Henning Johanson on the City of Chester is the same as the Henning on the Emigranter fra Trondhiem list.

Thank you very much.
The keyword was "Grundsten". Who was the name of farm that Hennings mother came from.Henning correctly left Norway with Hero, and arrived US with City of Chester.
During this weekend I have found a lot of descendants after Henning and Ida A. Einerson who he got married with jun 10 1894 in Chippewa, Minnesota.

Bjornar,
Just an FYI the marriage index listing for Henning and Ida is written "American" fashion for 6 Oct 1894. Glad you are continuing your search...
