| Henrik Hansen Brustad |
| stig1964 | On 8th of may 1907, Henrik Hansen Brustad emigrated from Kristiansund N. As far as I know, he sailed with SS Tasso, route Trondheim – Kristiansund – Ålesund – Bergen – Stavanger – Hull.
According to ”Digitalarkivet: Emigrants from Kristiansund 1882-1930” his destination was Indiana.
Henrik Hansen Brustad was born 1882 in Averøy/Bremsnes., He was the youngest of four children. His father was Hans Olsen Brustad, born 1848 in Ytterøyen og his mother was Kari Olsdatter, born 1841 in Skjåk.
I have tried to find him, but this is the only information I know about him. Can anybody please help me further?

| Brining | Hi In the 1910 census he is single living in Chicago, Illinois
BRUDSTAD HENRIK 37 M W NORW IL COOK 27-WD CHICAGO
the age saya 37 but looking at the actual record it could be 27 and the immigration year is 1907
There is also a Henry H Brustad listed in the Washington state death index, died 1942. Unfortunately it is at Ancestry and I don't have a subscription so can't see his birthdate. Maybe someone else can look it up.

| stig1964 | Thank you both!
Do any of you know a way to find out if he had any family?

| Brining | If you could get a copy of the death certificate, that could give you some information or if there is an obiturary for him that too could give you lots of information.
I would suggest joining the Norway L mailing list
[url="http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/intl/NOR/NORWAY.html"]Click Here[/url] and sending them a query. The list has lots of helpful people and someone might be able to do a lookup for you. At the website click on help in the upper left hand corner and read about mailing lists before joining since they are a little different from regular message boards.
Or you could try posting a query on the debate forum at the Digialarkivet.
