I have had difficulty locating arrivals in US for 1902, 1903 and 1907. My grandmother and 2 brothers left in the formentioned years from Alesund, 2 connecting to Cunard and 1 to White Star. How long would it take from Alesund to Hull to Liverpool to US? Any help greatly appreciated.

The Wilson ships in 1902 used about 4 days from Trondheim to Hull via Kristiansuns and Aalesund. Add another day before they reached Liverpool by train. The Cunarders at average crossed the Atlantic in 7-8 days. So, an arrival to America about 2 weeks +/- a few days after the departure from Norway is likely.
