Surnames: Fylke and Johnston
I am trying to find out where ny gransfather's two younger brothers setteled in America. Their names are Haagen Lorinus Johannesson and Johannes Johannesson Fylke. They were born in Aasen, Nord Trondelag, Norway. Haggen was in 27 Feb 1854 and Johannes was born 11 Aug 1863. Their parents were Johannes Jonsen and Anne Haftorsdatter of Folke ostre farm north of Trondheim. They emmigrated together from Trondheim on 30 Apr 1884. Their exit data is in the norwegian digital archives for yeat 1884, page 229 lines 23 and 24. Haagen was 33 years and Johannes was 20. Their stated destination was Muskegon, Mich. They arrived in New York aboard the White Star Line ship Republic on 24 May 1884. On the passenger list theya re listed as Johan Filko and H. Johnston. Once they arrive in America I can't find any further record of them what so ever. I would sincerely appreciate any help that can be provided. Thanks!
