from Ellis Island website
List or Manifest of Aliens Employed on the Vessel as Members of Crew. Vessel: Stavangerfjord. Arriving at New York, NY, USA on 02 Nov 1923 from Kristiania,
Borresen, Arthur, age 31, trimmer - not enough information to verify identity. There are also more passsenger manifests for Arthur to check out. One is for Arthur O. M. Borresen.
Also from Ellis Island, a month earlier Henry Borresen, age 24, shpped as a crewman on the Stavangerfjord from Kristiania to New York, cook's helper
Henry Arnleif Borresen became a naturalized US citizen in New York. His full name shows. There's also a Henry Adolf Borresen to avoid mixing up with. Arthur also became a US citizen.
This could be Arthur in the 1940 US census:
1940
New York, Kings, New York
Arthur Borresen 48 born about 1892 Norway, NA (=US citizen), machinist
Doris Borresen 32 born about 1908 Norway, alien
Ruth Borresen 2 years old
Mildred Borresen 9 months old

| Thank you. I was told Anton was in the army. How would I check that? Any census after 1910? Checking to see if any children in Anton's family may still be in Norway? |

This might be your Ole Borreson in the 1900 US census, first officer apparently on a fishing vessel in Alaskan waters:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/M3FF-M4W
At genealogybank there was one mention of a Captain Ole Borreson. This from the Portland Oregonian Friday 1 Nov 1918, in an article dealing with an explosion onboard a vessel carrying gasoline and gunpowder:
"... Captain Ole Borreson is quoted as having said all the boats got away but became seperated and his boat was picked up by a steamer...." |
