Looking for Jon Flaete Information |
scuba3516 | When they arrived in New York Ellis Island the name was changed to JOHN Flaethe. From Norway. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |
jwiborg | There's noone by the name John Flaete/Flaethe registered at the Ellis Island database.
Did you misspell? [:I]
It looks however to be a variant of the farmname Flæte. In that case he would most likely be from sogn & fjordane county, and he should be in the list of emigrants leaving [url="http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=EMIBERG&spraak=n&metanr=1535&spraak=e"]Bergen[/url].
