Min oldefar Peter M. Sunness (Norsk : Sundnes ) kom til USA en gang mellom august 1901 og 1905.
Han var ikke emigrant, men mønstret muligens av en båt som han var sjømann på, og tok seg inn i USA.
Vi lurer på NÅR han første gang er registrert i USA.
Finner ham i Census 1905.

og Census 1920 sammen med sin nye familie
https://www.familysearch.org/search/rec ... _167870817
Kan noen hjelpe meg ?

Re: Peter Sunness
Mother of Peter's wife Clara:
MRS. JOHN IVERSON: (VALDERS)
"Mrs. John Iverson died at her home near Whitehall Tuesday evening, March 3, of heart failure. She was severely ill only about 30 minutes.
She fell out of her chair, and members of the family hurried to her and raised her up again. She then said she was alright, and with assistance, she walked to her bed and in a few minutes, she had another fainting spell and died in her daughter's arms.
Caroline Wold was born in Valdres, Norway, September 29, 1860 and came to America when she was six years old (on sailboat Tuna), together with her parents, five brothers and sisters. They lived at Black Earth, Dane county, for four years, after which they moved near Whitehall, which is now known as Irvin Coulee, where she stayed with her parents until she was married to John Iverson in 1880. Mr. and Mrs. Iverson moved into a farm northwest of Whitehall where they lived for 17 years, after which they moved onto the farm where she lived until her death. To this union four chidren were born: Mrs. Clara Sunness of St. Paul; Oliver, Whitehall; Elmer and Millie at home.
Besides her immediate family she leaves five brothers and five sisters to mourn her death. Dr. A.O. Wold of Grand Forks, N.D.; Henry Wold of Milton, N.D. T.O. Wold of Mahnomen, Minn.; John and Ole Vold of Eleva; Mrs. Annie Broger of Leeds, N.D.; Mrs. John S. Peterson of Hendrum, Minn; Mrs. N.A. Hanson, Mrs. G.S. Rice and Mrs. Chas Anderson of Whitehall. All were present at the funeral except Mrs. Peterson, who was unable to come.
Mrs. Iverson's whole live was lived as that of a Christian. Religious books and papers were her only readings, which she read several times every day, and always teaching the members of the family of what she read. The last words she spoke as she was dying was a call to God.
She had inflammatory rheumatism over twenty years ago, and since that time has suffered almost constantly, and no matter how severe the pain was, she never complained, always seeking strength from a higher power to endure the many hardships she had in life. Her whole life was a constant thought of how to make it pleasant for others, no matter what she had to sacrifice for herself.
The funeral was held Saturday from the house and Our Saviours Lutheran church,
Rev. Hofstad and Rev. Christopherson officiating. Interment was made in the cememtery at Old Whitehall.
The pall bearers were Matt Fryslie, Lars Sjonsby, Peter Christianson, Ole Iverson, P.C. Peterson and Ed Christopherson." THE WHITEHALL TIMES - March 12, 1925

Re: Peter Sunness
Thank you very much !!
Clara was not my great-grandmother, as he left a girlfriend and a son ( my grandfather ) born May 5. 1902 behind in Norway.
He never returned.
