Im "hunting" for clues in the puzzle of my great grandfather. I am researching for a book I am writing to my two grandmothers. My grandfathers are both dead, I miss them deeply both, and I am dedicating the book to them. My grandmother on my mother's side didnt know her father that well, she was born only a month before she was born, and he returned about 1932/1933. He died in a tragic motorcycle accident in Norway 1946. I am hoping to find some more clues on him over there, so I can give my grandmother a chance to get to know her father a bit better before her days are over. Here is the informartion that I have: NAME: Peder Ingvald Johansen Løtoft (Lotoft) Born: November 23rd 1901 in Sokndal, Hauge i Dalane, Rogaland, NORWAY Married to Anne Marie Frøytlog HIS TRAVEL: - Boarded a ship in Stavanger, Norway june 10th 1929 heading for Newcastle. ## I dont know what ship, or when he arrived. Did he take the train afterwords? - Boarded Cunard Line's "Ausonia (2)" June 14th 1929 ## I need a high res. picture of the passenger list - Arrived in Quebec as landed immgrant June 22nd 1929. - Took the C.N.R train to Winnipeg, Manitoba - Found farmwork ## I dont know where he lived or worked. I have some photos developed in Melfort and Regina. - He worked on a horse farm/ranch or something. After he got back home, a couple of years later, he got a letter telling him that the horses had kicked to death the owner of the ranch he lived on. - He worked with a Norwegian man born in Kananda - He went back home around 1932/1933, I have NO documentaion of this. - On a photo there is a car, how many cars in Canada 1929? Any clues on him would be great! Hope you can help ,) Kenneth.
