BorgeHello Bjørn Elster was the agent of the White Star Line. They operated these routes in 1905: Via England to the United States, and other foreign parts of the world Liverpool - Boston/Philadelphia Liverpool - Melbourne - Sydney Liverpool - New York Liverpool - New Zealand London - New York (cargo) I guess that the Boston/Philadelphia lists were not included in the Ellis Island DB (Someone please correct me if I am wrong) However, you are lucky, all you have to do is to pop in at the Statsarkivet/Riksarkivet in Oslo, (if you do not live very far away) where Elster's private archives are stored. There you will find Elster's own passenger protocols for the White Star Line in Norway, giving exact information of the voyages. Børge Solem
