Henry Henrysen
katiejandaMy grandfather Henry Henrysen immigrated to the USA in 1898 when he was 19. We believe he sailed from Stavanger, Norway. How can I find the date he left and the name of the ship he sailed on? I believe he landed in the port of Philadelphia, Penna. USA. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you.

BorgeHello Catherine There is a problem with Stavanger, as the emigration records from Stavanger was lost in a fire. Some of the records has been reconstructed, and is online at the Digitalarkivet. The best chance is probably to look for him in the Philadelphia passenger lists.
