Norwegian Sailing Records
BrunoMy grandfather, Hans T. Suby, came to America from Telemark, Norway, in October, 1879. Are there any records relating to his departure in Norway. (I can find none relating to his arrival in America.) BKU
BorgeHello Bruno Your grandfather would most likely have departed from Christiania (now Oslo), that is where I would start looking. There are emigration records set up by the police for emigrants leaving Norway. The records are in process of being digitalized, and most of them are now made available online at the Digitalarkivet.

There are however no farm namd Sundbø or Smedbø in Kvitseid according to the census of 1865. There was one farm called Subø.
