| "Drontheim" would be "Trondhjem" or as we say today "Trondheim". Overhalla in Nord Trøndelag mentioned by Hopkins is not far away from Trondheim. Trondheim was the biggest town in the region (and still is), and was the place where people migrated to for trading gods, getting jobs or education. |

Thank you. You people are fantastic!! Stephan Oliver Himoe married Colonel Heg's sister. In the Civil War he served as Medical officer with the 15th Wisconsin and later as Brigade Surgeon, 3rd Brigade (commanded by Col. Heg). We have a lot of info on his adult life but little or nothing regarding his place of birth, his mother, etc. If I can work my way through the Norwegian words, I will have some important new information.
Tusen Takk. Jim |

| Can we take Mathias Loerentzen Himoe a step or two further? Jo Anne has found him in the the 1860 US Census. I found him in the 1850 US Census, living in Norway Town, Wisconsin. I read his wife's name as Eglin. Jo Anne reads it as Ellen (perhaps Anglisized) We have good matches with Stephan's sister Louisa and brother John. Any chance of finding marriage, birth, confirmation and/or Emigration permits? For Jo Anne - in 1860 Stephan is in Plattesville, beginning his study of medicine under Dr. E.W. Eastman, whose name appears just before Stephan's. Jim |

I just found some interesting facts about the Himo farm in Overhalla. According to information on the "Overhalla kommune" web page, there was a syphilis epidemic in Namdalen just before the turn of the century, and a ward was set up at Himo to deal with the epidemic among other things. This was at about the same time as when Mathias lived at Himo, and maybe his interest in medicine was awaked then. This ward became the forerunner for the "Namdalen Hospital", which was established there in 1805.
I am planning a visit to the "Statsarkivet" in Trondheim this autumn, and will do some lookups on this family if you want. I am planning to write an article about visiting the archive, and could use the search for information about this family as an example. |

Hi, I find this family in the Norwegian Immigrants to the United States, Volume 2, 1844-1846 by G.B. Næseth. It gives a nice amount of info about the family. The family immigrated on the JUNO arriving in New York from Bergen on June 18, 1846, having saild 52 days earlier. 112 passengers, Nils Bendixsen, Captain.
Mathias Lorentsen Himo is how Mathias is listed. Mathias's parents are listed as Lorents Olsen Himoe and Ingeborg Evensdatter. Mathias's wife is listed as Elen Svensdatter Rygh daughter of Sven Eriksen Rygh and Ane Goutzdatter. They are all listed as being from Overhalla, Nord Trondelag. Stephen Oliver Himoe is listed as Sven Olaus Mathiassen Himo it said he used the name Stephen Oliver Himoe in America. If you would like I can scan the pages and send to you via e-mail. My e-mail address is marwendt@asatound.net if you want me to do this. JEAN |

HI, just a quick correction to the post on the Himoe family. I gave my e-mail address and in looking at it after I sent it I have an error on the address. The correct address is marwendt@astound.net.
Sorry about the error.

Hello Jim,
Here is a link to information on Stephen Himoe (Svend Olaus Mathiassen Himo). I also have the book "Overhalla Bygdebok." It has alot on the Himo family. The Himo family goes back to the 1500's.
Let me know if I can help.
