Passengers in 1887 ie OLSEN
Tim Olson	I recently found my great grandfathers application for citizenship to the US and his Certificate of Citizenship. All I know at this time is that he arrived in the US in and about August 1887 with his brother. I don't know about any other family menmbers. His Name is Hjalmer James OLSEN and his brother from what I have been told is Called Bill or William OLSEN. Can Someone please help me locate any information on eather of them. Thank you, Tim
Brining	Hi Tim Assuming he came from Norway, the Digitalarkivet (there is a link on the home page) has lots of information including census info. Finding his emmigration information on that sight could give you lots of information but the year 1887 is missing from Oslo which would be a likely place he would have left from but you could search through the other sources. Having his date of birth would help a lot. You should get a copy of his death certificate if you can. That can often give you clues such as mother's and father's name. Good Luck Carla
