My grandfather, Paul K Strand came to the US in 1907. He was 18 years old. We are looking for any information regarding the ship on which he traveled and where he entered the US. He might haveebtered with the surname of Udset (h) or Utset(h).
He alsomight be listed as Paul Peterson (pederson).
He would have traveled from the island of Hitra near Trondheim. |

Gender: Male
Ethnic Background: Scandinavian

Age: 17

The orginal refers to Paul Udseth naturalized citizen of US, naturalized in District Court of Lincon County , Minnestoa. He appears to be traveling with a friend Nikolai Ronning (sp?). There is a reference to home city and it appears to be Hendirks, Minnesota although very hard to read.
from Ancestry.com
Name: Paul Udseth
Arrival Date: 31 May 1907
Age: 50
Birth Date: abt 1857
Gender: Male
Ship Name: Virginian
Port of Arrival: Quebec, Canada

It is quite possible that he did not go through Ellis Island. The two candidates that are posted above did not. One went throiugh Quebec and the other through Boston. Do either of those two candidtates seem likely.
Based on the next post, I would say no, that the next personis the best candidate. |
