Here is a little on one of his sons.

Born in Aakehamn, Karmoy, Norway, the son of the late Elias and the late Hanna (Lervik) Olsen, he came to New Bedford in 1952 and settled in Fairhaven over thirty years ago. He was a member of the Trinity Lutheran Church in Fairhaven.
Mr. Olsen served as a captain on various area fishing vessels including the Poseidon, the Prowler and the Sharon-Noreen. He was a member of the United Fisherman’s Union, the Star in the East Masonic Lodge, A.F. & A.M., and enjoyed meeting with his Norwegian fishing friends at Fort Phoenix in the mornings and later his friends at The Pasta House and the Huttleston House in the afternoons.
He was the brother of the late Ole and Henry Olsen and is survived by many nieces, nephews and dear friends.

| In the 1920's, the United States tried to restrict immigration by stricter laws. This led to the fact that many Norwegians chose to travel to Canada during this period. And maybe a single immigrant had better chances to stay, rather than a married man with a big family back home? So maybe he said he was single due to this? |

The only records we have seen on Elias (Bill) Olson we have seen and can verify are his headstone and the newspaper account of his death. Depending on the headstone as accurate (was it actually put up in the day?), his name is Elias Olson and his nickname is Bill he was born 28 May 1900 and died 9 March 1952.
These are all the Olson males born 28 May 1900 in the 1910 Norwegian census:
Alf Olsen(male) 1900-05-28 Berg s ug skolebarn Berg: Tændstikkens arbeiderbolig 1910-12-01 1910 census for Berg
Leif Olsen (male) 1900-05-28 Bærum s ug søn Botne: Blekvoldens (Melkefabrikens) Arbeiderbolig Nr I (A) 1910-12-01 1910 census for Botne
Olav Olsen (male) 1900-05-28 Skaanevik s ug Skaanevik: Skarveland 1910-12-01 1910 census for Skånevik
Olav Olsen Olsnæs (male) 1900-05-28 Bruvik s ug Bruvik: Dale(gaard) 1910-12-01 1910 census for Bruvik
Rikart Olssen Mule (male) 1900-05-28 Børsen s ug Søn Børsen: Wiggen (Berget) 1910-12-01 1910 census for Børsa
Johan Ulman Olsen (male) 1900-05-28 Thingvold s ug Barn Mo: Mo nedre,117 1910-12-01 1910 census for Mo
Johannes Olsen
(male) 1900-05-28 Gildeskaal s ug Søn Flakstad: Sund 1910-12-01 1910 census for Flakstad
Ole Olsen
(male) 1900-05-28 Vaagan s ug Skolebarn Vaagan: Mølnossen (plads) 1910-12-01 1910 census for Vågan
Otherwise there are a total of 78 Norwegian males of every name with the 28 May 1900 birthdate as found in the 1910 Norwegian census.

Check the other thread for my recent post on using 28 May 1900 as a record to find some candidates. Not having much luck.
Jackie did you come across this Vemund Elias Olsen born in 1898 leaving for New York in 1914.
Link
When he arrived in New York he used Vermund and was with a large group of seamen. |

No, because I limited it to people leaving between 1920-1930.
Vermund Olsen b 31 August 1898 in 1910 census:

Hi Audrey,
I hope you take your time to read through the replies given to you regarding the search for your father. Some info is given in your other topic Family of Elias Olsen.
As you can read from the findings; we have serious doubts that the Elias Olsen (26) on the Carmania in April 1924 is your father.
Why are you so confident this arrival shows your father?
How and where did you obtain the manifest? |
