I am looking for my grandfather Leonhard Johan Arne Leonardsen who was born in Gimsøy (North Norway) 29.6.1891. He left Norway with Ragnvald Jarl from Trondheim 26.3.1913 together with two friends.The information from Digitalarkivet tells me that he was going to Spokane Washington and his friends to Perley Minnesota. On Ellis Island I found out that he arrived from Glasgow to New York with Caledonia 14.april 1913. I am not able to find out where he was sattle dawn and how his life works out for him. I hope some of you can help me find out cause it means a lot to me.

Hi Pernille,

Ellis Island says that Leonhard went to a friend Ludvig Eliassen in Coeur D'Alene (Kootenai County), Idaho.

Have you looked for him there?
