                      | By the way. His destination in 1914 was "Henley, Sask." The ticket was prepaid in "Amerika" which suggests he had family or friends i Henley already.

His residence in Norway was Fosnes (in Nord-Trøndelag county).His father was Erik Olsen born 1854 (born at Fosnes), and his mother was Methe Rasmusdatter (born 1867 at Fosnes)
 Brother:  Engel Eriksen (born 1888 at Fosnes)went to newyork, usa in 1909, as Engel Meier Lerbak
 Sister:  Valborg Eriksdatter  (born 1890 at Fosnes)

                      | This is a reply from Norway. The Leirbekk family is growing in Norway, and most of them are still living in the Namsos area in the middle of Norway. There is also a farm on a small island outside Namsos carrying the familyname Leirbekk. In Norway there has been written a book which include the Leirbekk family in Norway an USA (Canada). I am probably your second cousin an live in Oslo Norway. I hope this information could help you a litle bit. |
