At the end of 1998 I think I a found a lead.
By the help of the LDS Familycenter in Oslo I ordered this film from The National Archives of the USA, Washington.
I got 2 films containing two hole months after departure Oslo to be on the safe side, an there I think I found the right
Hans Pedersen.

SS. Circassia arrived New York June 19. 1888 Hans departure Christiania (Oslo) June 2 1888 That means 17 days on the trip.

This is as far as I have got, I have not found him in USA.

What did they do when they got ashore, was it a passport control, that I can check?
