Hello !
I have found one tobaccoshop that existed in 1888 named Olsen. It is not here today but the building might be.
I have had a look in todays Nærøy on the nett, there is 4 Johansen working for the parish today, we can of course take a longshot at them hoping that they know a little familyhistory or at least their parents.
Best wishes
Odd |

Odd,
I am simply amazed at how you have been able to find all of this information about my ancestors. Is this information that you have been able to locate online, or have you had to search through books for this?
I haven't has a chance to research for you yet, but I see that others have been able to provide some very good information so far for you.
As for my address, did you need my email address or my home address?

Hello again !
No, I have not got any help here yet, the information I have found on the net myself. Now I found another emigrant in the family so now there is 5 families over there, so it could be many persons. The new one is Christian Olsen from Eidsvoll, he went to La Crosse according to the emigrationlists here.
Together with him was his daughter Olava Emilie 11 years old in 1870 when they emigrated. Christian was 34 at the time. He is my great-great grandfather.
The last information I have from a book, from which I have taken 3 copies for you. If you do not want to put your adress in the open you can send it to oih2@start.no. If you dont need the copies tell me and I will pass over the info through here. For some parishes in Norway there is "bygdebøker " books that
have a lot of info about the farms and their owners. There is such books for Nærøy. The rest of the info is availebel on the net.
I have found also a Blomqvist family further up north, its a single women with 4 children from Sweden, could it be that he left her for some reason ?

Hello again !
Most of the info I have from the 1801-1865.1875 and 1900 census here, you can look around yourself, such for digitalarkivet.no, its a english service as well. Its helpful and
best of all it does not coast a dime.
Tell me if you get problems.

Odd,
All I can say is incredible!! Thanks again. As I had mentioned in my email, I'll plan a trip to Wisconsin in the near future & see what I can do to locate your Great Great Grandfather in La Crosse.
How long have you been interested in your family history? Most of mine was compiled back in the late 1960's & yearly 1970's. It was only on my Andreassen side & basically the information sat idle for 25 years until I got curious about the Blomqvist side.
As for the Blomqvist with the 4 children, I don't know anything about her. Was the last name of Blomqvist common like the Andreassen's & others in Norway?

Hello !
I have sent you the letter with 3 photocopies from a book today, also the Blomkvists leaving for the US from Trondheim. I printed it out just in case. Yes, I did find a Blomqvist family in Tromsø, bur only the mother and 4 children. No, this not a common name here, but some families was here particulary around Oslo. That is why I think that they maybe related somehow, those in the north I mean.
Niels make all the children become Nilsens and that is a very commom name here, so there can not be any of that family left with the name Blomqvist today. So I do not think that the Blomqvists up there today is your family, unless they later took the name back of course. This can be a puzle to solve.

I did find the husband for the Blomqvist in Tromsø, he was in prison in Trondheim both in the 1865 and 1875 cesus. I thought for a moment that it was Niels that had left her behind.
No, I am new to this game, a familymember asked me for help
finding out more about the family, I did and now I am hanged up in it as well. She has been doing this for a long time, but did not make the wanted progress, she has still small children so there is not enough time for her to do archives and librarys.

Odd,
Hello again. I did some searching online today for your Christian & Olava Olsen on a couple of sites. I went to ancestory.com and I found a Christian Olsen that had died in 1906 in the town of Washington here in Minnesota. His birth place was listed as Eidsvoll. My attempt to locate this town was unsuccessful, so I went to Google and typed in Ancestory, Minnesota, Washington which brought me to the site for Minnesota local history & genealogy research guide. There I found a map for 1895 and I was able to locate Washington in the lower right corner of the state in Fillmore County, which was not too far from La Crosse Wisconsin.
I have been unable to locate an information for Olava, but I'll keep searching.
The Ancestory.com had a free 14 day trial offer.....
Miles
PS: There's talk of our first snowfall this week for Minnesota. How about your area? :) |

Hello Miles !
Thanks, it might be him, but how can we find it out.
I do not know his place of birth but Eidsvoll was the last place he was in Norway, His wife was named Marthe is born about 1832 and migh also have crossed on a later stage with a small child that they got only 6 months before he left for the states, name Anna Oleson (or Christiansdtr ) born 19.08.1869. This was good news.
Olava might be Olive in the states, I have seen that change once before.
I found the churchbooks for the babtized in Kolvereid 1874-85, tell me if you have some in that periode I can look them up.
Yes, yesterday we had a snowfall and a fall in temperature, so now we are below zero, and winter have startet.
Yes, I have tried to enter a free periode at this company but it seems like one need a card number or a bancaccount on the net to join in for a free ride. I am still in the stoneage and like to have my money in my pocket.
all the best
Odd

Hello again Odd,
I was thrilled to receive the copies that you had provided for me about my Andreassen ancestors and the information that you had shared about the great plague that had killed so many people years ago. I guess that it's amazing that any of our ancestors were lucky enough to have survived.
Thank you also for the information on my Blomqvist side. I had assumed that the younger son, Nils, had died as a young man since he did not appear in pictures or was not on the ship with the other family members. He remains a bit elusive, so he'll be interesting to follow. I have not been able to locate him in Wisconsin except for his 1904 marriage application.
For the Andreassens that may have been baptised in Kolvereid, they would have come after my Great Great Grandfather had sailed to America in 1867. The best possibilities would be the children of :
Karen Maria Andreassen Prestvik - born September 20, 1829
Johan Hartvig Andreassen Prestvik - born February 22, 1830
Haagen Andreassen - born March 11, 1833
Elen Kirstine Andreassen Prestvik - born August 30, 1835
They would be a bit older for the information that you have, but since many familys had 10 or more children there might be a chance.
For some strange reason I did manage to get a "trial" run on Ancestory.com ?? I'll check for you & me both.
Take care!!

I have also seen his name at Ellis Isl. he arrived in 1904, 18 years of age. I also found his social securitynr. issued in
Pennsylvania so therefore I assume that he was there at least until 1936 as one of you correctly stated. He used the name
Carl Hansen. I do not know his contact in the usa, but I suspect that his uncle Lorents Hansen is that person.
Once again, thanks for helping me.
Alfred Margido Hansen born 07.08.1880
Karl Vilhelm Hansen born 27.12.1885

Hello Odd,
I have shared with so many people that I have met recently about all of the information that you have provided and all of the information that is available online that I'm creating some interest in them to do some exploring on their ancestors as well. I've given them the address for this site and told them that they can read along and see what's going on.
A couple of questions for you... the farm of Prestvik that my ancestors would have owned, is there a way of finding out how large the farm size would have been? ( in America it would be in acres)
Is there a chance that the farm would still exist today if it had been sold? I noticed in a book when we visited St. Lake City that the farm name had 3 different spellings that dated back to the 1670's if I recall correctly.
I been staying up late entering all of the names & dates on the papers that you had sent. Thank you again so much!!
Take care,
Miles :) |
