I am searching for more details/ documentations around my Great Grandfather Ole Andersen Segtnan`s arrival in the USA on or about the 29th of July 1893.
Ole Andersen Segtnan was born in Norway the 31st of October 1874, and died in Norway as well the 13th of March 1941. (It might seem that he later took the name Ole Sagton, when living in Wilkin County, Minnesota).
I have an indication that he started his journey from Levanger, Norway on or short time after the 26th of June 1893.
It is told that he took a boat from Trondheim, Norway (via Aalesund or Kristiansand) to Newcastle (Hull?), and then the train to Liverpool.
According to the document called "intent to naturalize", he arrived in the USA on or about the 29th of July 1893.
It is said that he arrived on Ellis Island, but I do not know that this was the place for sure.
Shouldn`t there be possible to find his name in any passenger lists or on arrival..?
