In April 1887 he boarded the ship S\/S Rollo \u00a0that took him to Hull where he probably followed the &#8220;emigrant trail&#8221; to one of the ports on the west-coast of England. From there he\u00a0crossed the Atlantic bound for Ludington, Michigan.<\/p>\n<p>Petter Gundersen Moen spend 7 years in Ludington. He returned to Norway April 21. 1894. \u00a0In 1905 he married Ingeborg Johannsdatter R\u00f8ssummoen and had three children with her.<\/p>\n<p>It is believed that Petter might have taken part in missionary work in Ludington. Nevertheless, family lore tells that he fathered a child while he was there. No facts are known about this fatherhood. \u00d8ystein would be very happy if someone have information about this, or could point him in the right direction.<\/p>\n<p>He is also interested in any piece of information that could shed light on his Great Grandfather Petter&#8217;s stay in Ludington.
