Olaf Larsen Grostad

[dn22680]

Hei.
Jeg leter etter informasjon om min farmors onkel Olaf Larsen Grostad.
Lars er født 14/8-1888 på Byneset utenfor Trondheim, døbt 23/9-1888 i Byneset kirke, og konfirmert 27/9-1903 i samme kirke.

Han får utflytningsattest 26/7-1906, -ref. KB Byneset.
Finner han registrert som emigrant med båtplass 1/8-1906, -ref. DA Emigranter.
Skipet han reiser med er visst "Tasso", tilhørende "Cunnard-line"

Så finner jeg han død 4/2-1970 med Randall, Morrison, Minnesota som siste oppholdsted.
Dødsfallet fant jeg i "Minnesota death index".

Jeg ønsker opplysninger om Lars`liv i Amerika, jeg har ikke funnet ham innreist til Amerika, eller i noen av folketellingene "over there".
Jeg har ikke særlig erfaring med å lete i amerikanske kilder på nett, derfor er all hjelp velkommen.

Ha en fin dag
Kjell Magne
