If so, this is likely his Naturalization Record from 1939.
Olaf Brue
in the U.S. Naturalization Record Indexes, 1791-1992 (Indexed in World Archives Project)
Name: Olaf Brue
Birth Date: 15 Jun 1899
Birth Place: Norway
Age at event: 39
Court District: Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa
Date of Action: 9 May 1939
There is a lot of information on this Olaf Brue including Census Data with family etc. but first we need to know if this is the person you are seeking.
More information on your Oaf would be nice.

Jens Andersen Mørks father, probably as widower, Anders Benjaminsen Skjei and two of Jens siblings, Petra and Alvin,em. from Dønna 1898, dep. port Trondheim, tickets paid for in America link
So your Olaf Brue was born after 1890 and before 1898.

Hmmmmmmmm.
I have a feeling that this is your Jens Mørk Andersen, he was connected to Ugelfoden on the island Herøy where his father was born.
Herøy is south for and close to Dønna and connected with a bridge today.
Everything except for his age correspond.
This Jens M (Mørk) Andersen was unmarried and the ticket was prepaid in America.
Are you sure of that his son Olaf was born in Norway?

| Pam, why not tell what you know about him? He had a mother, perhaps you know her name. His name, his birth ca 1890, his father's identity is all information you've found somewhere, but where? His father emigrated; did Olaf, to your knowledge, ever emigrate? Which farm does his farm name come from - do you know? Please describe the context in which this name Olaf Bru arises, and in general share all you can about an individual and the generation before and/or after him, when starting a genealogy search. You'll save your helpers time. |

Rereading the earlier post of this poster, I noticed the post by JaneC on the arrival of a Jens M Wglefod. Looked it up on Ancestry.com and found two entries for this. The one that JaneC posted and an another one with a date one day later for a Jens M Anderson. Looking at the original for this date, it shows the last name of Wglefod (probably Uglefod) crossed out and Anderson written over it. Also the distination is given as Pelican Rapids. Here is the transcribed version.
The two forms are slightly different.
Name: Jens M Anderson
Gender: Male
Birthdate: abt 1875
Age: 18
Port of Departure: Liverpool, England
Ship Name: Cephalonia
Arrival Date: 25 Jun 1893
Port of Arrival: Boston, Massachusetts
Friend's Name: Iver Olsen
Last Residence: Helgelane
A repeat of the info posted by JaneC in the earlier post.
Name: Jens M Wglefod
Gender: Male
Birthdate: abt 1875
Age: 18
Port of Departure: Liverpool, England and Queenstown, Ireland
Ship Name: Cephalonia
Arrival Date: 24 Jun 1893
Port of Arrival: Boston, Massachusetts
Last Residence: Norway

Earliest record for Olaf Bru born in 1899 finds him in North Dakota in 1915 living with the John Anderson family. He is only 15 years old so likely he is living with famly or at least friends.
Olaf Bru
in the North Dakota, Territorial and State Censuses, 1885, 1915, 1925
Name: Olaf Bru
County: Mountrail
Town/City: James Hill
State/Territory: North Dakota, USA
Census Date: 1915
Age: 15
Birth Year: abt 1900
Gender: Male
LINE: 47
Household Members:
Name Age
Olaf Bru 15
Here is the John Anderson family that Olaf Bru was living with.
John Anderson
in the North Dakota, Territorial and State Censuses, 1885, 1915, 1925
Name: John Anderson
County: Mountrail
Town/City: James Hill
State/Territory: North Dakota, USA
Census Date: 1915
Age: 42
Birth Year: abt 1873
Gender: Male
LINE: 40
Household Members:
Name Age
John Anderson 42
Alice Anderson 32
Henry A Anderson 8
Clara E Anderson 7
Orvil R Anderson 5
Mabel R Anderson 3
Mildred A Anderson 1
It is interesting that this John Anderson was born about the same year as Jens Mørk Andersen (John M Anderson from Becker and Clay counties Minnesota). Could the OP have confused the two John Andersons and Olaf Bru is not the son of the John Anderson she is interested in? |

Immigration of Olaf Bru Sørvik
http://digitalarkivet.arkivverket.no/en-gb/gen/vis/8/pe00000000207231
So when Olaf Bru Sørvik emmigrated to America in 1914 he was travelling with his foster father Iver Olsen but also with Albert and Ane Skei. So there must be some sort of connection with the families.
