Hjalmar (John) Martin Thoresen's departure
fonda	My grandfather, Hjalmar, left Kristiania, at 20 years of age, electrician by profession, on the SS Montebello, April 25, 1902 and his destination was Boston, USA. I have not been able to find what ship he took after landing in Hull to sail to Boston, MA USA. Can anyone help me with this information. Thank you so much. Jewel D. Lawrence

Passenger lists from Boston are available on microfilms, and if if you are close to a "LDS Family History Center", you should be able to view them there, or maybe at a local library offering these services.
