His name was originally BAKKEN...
But changed by the time his father was drafted WW1.
Possibly a military clerical error but he kept it.
Anyhow... his travel, Ellis Island etc used Bakken.

His father actually migrated a few yrs before he returned to Norway to marry in 1906, then returned before 1910 census as Bakken. He returned to and from Norway in 1912. Everytime using his mother's parents or his fathers parents names as Norway contacts.

Parents...
Harald Hansen "Bakken/Backen" and
Maren"Mary" Johanna Nilsen "Asplund"
