Hello, I am trying to find out the ship and route that my grandfather, Erik Tangen took when he emigrated to US in 1911. He was born in Sunndalsora on 13 Mar. 1891 to Iver Olsen Tangen (born 18-09-1855, died 29-01-1918) and Randi Eriksdatter Tangen (born 08-01-1860, died 18-07-1919). I found my grandfather on the list of Emigranter fra Kristiansund. He was listed as Erik Iversen Tangen, age 20, born 1891, and date of departure was 1911, Mars 23. The ship name wasn't listed. I am assuming that the ship probably came from Trondheim. I'm wondering if the ship would have gone directly to the US or into England first. I know that he was in New York before traveling to Washington State. I couldn't find him on the Ellis Island list of immigrants. I would appreciate any help.
