[#43444] Immigration/Emmigration Record for Ingvald Gustavus Reiersen and Othea Borufsen

[Gjest Gordon Ryersen]

Hello, does anyone have any information in their database about the travel from Norway for Ingvald Gustavus Reiersen/Theodorsen-Hildersvik/Lokna/Tjernagel, born Jan. 1884 Sveio and Othea Andreasdatter/Borufsen-Aavik/Spangereid born Nov. 1880. I think that they met here in the USA but I am unsure about that fact, or where they were married. Their sons were Gunvald Reiersen/Reyerson 1906, Elmer Andrew Reiersen 1908. Gustav Bertinius Reiersen 1910, Ingvald Otto Reiersen/Ryersen 1912. Ingvald Gustavus Reiersen came to the USA and settled in Brooklyn, and Richmond New York in the late 1800's or early 1900's. Their children were all born in Brooklyn, NY. So the years of travel to the USA should be between 1898-1906. Around 1913 Othea took the 4 boys back to Aavik to raise them. Then Gunvald, Gustav and Ingvald traveled back to the USA to Brooklyn, but i do not have the information about their travel back to the USA, and would very much like to learn about their journeys. My father was Ingvald Reiersen/Ryersen 1912. Tusen Takk!!

HeiHere is Ingvald Gustav Reiersen, born 01.01.1910, going back to US in 1927. His occupation is lighter captain, but here I think something is wrong.

Hello, I am hoping that someone in Norway may be able to locate the record of my GM Othea Reiersen, taking her sons back to Norway, after having her children born in Brooklyn, NY. I believe that it was around the year 1914 that they traveled back to Norway. I would be looking for a record of Othea Reiersen taking her sons, Ingvald, Gustav, Gunvald and Andrew back to Aavik/Spangereid Norway around 1914 or so, Tusen Takk!!! This record has been elusive to me. I know they made the trip back home but can not find this record.
