Do you mean "Johan Lyder Johannes. Bruu", I think he is Olaf Bru's father
Johan Lyder Bru was the father of Olaf Bru and left for America shortly after Olaf was born. In America he probably became John Anderson living in Mountrail County, North Dakota. In 1915 Olaf was living with him in Mountrail Conty North Dakota.
He is different than John M Anderson from Becker and Clay Counties, in Minnesota who was Jens Mørk Andersen Mørk in Norway.
Both of the Johns Andersons were born about 1873 and in essentilly the same area of Nordland.

The origin of the name Bru comes from Bru in Strandebarm
Johan Lyders father Johan Johannesen Bru was born in Strandebarm ca 1841, conf. 1856 in Strandebarm.
Johan Lyders mother Lydia Franciska Christiansdatter was born in Bergen 1855, conf. in Bø 1870.

Here is the arrival of Johan Bru into America. His destination is listed as Bode Iowa. The ticket was paid for by his nephew. Who also may have been named Johan Bru and is from Humboldt, Iowa. This part is a little hard to understand.

Hmm, I wonder if I was wrong to assume that the John Anderson that Olaf lived with in North Dakota in 1915 was the same as Johan Lyder Bru born 1878. This Johan Lyder Bru matches closely with the Johan Lyder Bru found by Kåre, born Nov 12, 1878.

Notes: May 1950: Name listed as JOHAN LYDER BRUE
In 1918, when Olaf was living with John Anderson in Mountrail County, North Dakota. Johan Lyder Brue was living in the state of Washington. And based on the other data, ie Census etc. lived there until he died.

However ELCA shows the confirmatin of the North Dakota Olaf Bru in 1914 along with the names of his parents. Stanley, North Dakota is in the county of Mountrail. That seems to match the baptism record for Olaf Bru born 15 June 1899 if you can assume that Oline is the same as Oive.
Olaf Bru
in the U.S., Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, Records, 1875-1940
Name: Olaf Bru
Event Type: Confirmation
Confirmation Date: 30 May 1914
Father: Johan Bru
Mother: Olive Bru
Church Name: Stanley Evangelical Lutheran
Church Location: Stanley, North Dakota
Based on this record the North Dakota Olaf Brun is the same one listed on page one, born 15 June 1899 to Johan Bru and Oline Pedersdatte.
Olaf Brue

| The OP might want to weigh in with how and why Olaf Brue was thought to be Jens Mork Anderson's son.... |

| What and spoil the fun of rank speculation on who is who. Much too sensible. |

Where do you have the information that Olaf Bru was son of Jens Mørk Andersen?
