Dear Listers!

After so much success with this list (why didn't I try it more at an earlier date?), I decided I would also give this «challenge» a try!

Christoffer Pedersen - born at Veberg, Kroken farm in Luster Co., Norway Aug. 9, 1872, was the father of three children before he in the late 1890's moved to Copenhagen in Denmark. He married Apr. 20, 1902 Karentine Rasmussen, born 1869. They lived in Copenhagen, where Christoffer worked as a carpenter. They had two children, but were separated in 1912 and subsequently divorced.

According to relatives Christoffer Pedersen shall later have emigrated to the United States, and we fell pretty certain this may be the guy, a carpenter Christoffer Pedersen from Oslo, arriving in New York on several occasions in 1929 and 1930:

* From Hamburg in June of 1929: https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/7488/images/NYT715_4523-0086?treeid=&personid=&hintid=&queryId=d9c7d1d1f527357429efc7bc3f1dc4b6&usePUB=true&_phsrc=Nzx25173&_phstart=successSource&usePUBJs=true&_ga=2.58952749.1621079734.1618435785-390650824.1612707015&pId=2006376893

* From Rotterdam in October of 1929: https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/7488/images/NYT715_4603-1019?treeid=&personid=&hintid=&queryId=d9c7d1d1f527357429efc7bc3f1dc4b6&usePUB=true&_phsrc=Nzx25172&_phstart=successSource&usePUBJs=true&_ga=2.37457184.1621079734.1618435785-390650824.1612707015&pId=2011376324

* From Buenos Aires in December of 1929: https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/7488/images/NYT715_4651-0835?treeid=&personid=&hintid=&queryId=d9c7d1d1f527357429efc7bc3f1dc4b6&usePUB=true&_phsrc=Nzx25171&_phstart=successSource&usePUBJs=true&pId=2011671679

* From Buenos Aires again in March of 1930: https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/7488/images/NYT715_4700-0938?treeid=&personid=&hintid=&queryId=d9c7d1d1f527357429efc7bc3f1dc4b6&usePUB=true&_phsrc=Nzx25175&_phstart=successSource&usePUBJs=true&_ga=2.269124849.1621079734.1618435785-390650824.1612707015&pId=2011988991

Then to the big question:

What happened to Christoffer Pedersen after 1930?

Any suggestions would be more than welcome, and I thank you all for your wonderful assistance!

Very sincerely yours,

Lars E. Oyane
