I need help translating the text relating to Carolina Hansdtr born 26 Aug 1862 in Skiptvet, Norway. She is my 2nd great grandmother. Her granddaughter - my grandmother, Olga Andersen emmigrated to Duluth, Minnesota, USA around 1923.
Source information: Ĝstfold county, Skiptvet, Parish register (official) nr. 7 (1861-1866), Birth and baptism records 1862, page 19.

Carolina was born out of wedlock on Aug 26. Her mother was Oliana Johannesdatter, Stavseng and the father was Hans Jensen, Torsnĉs in Vaaler. (Hans Jensen denied on 26 september that he was the childs father.)
Carolina was Olianas 2nd child born out of wedlock.

| I have a cousin who lived in Michigan and her biological father was Hans Jensen and he was briefly married to (my aunt) Marie Isetts. Think he had emigrated to the U.S. around 1914, and supposedly had planned to come on the Titanic but there had been a change of plans... fortunately. I realize that is a very common name, but wonder if there could be any relation? |

If you are interested in a Hans Jensen who may have emigrated to the US about 1914 -- first check for WHEN he was born and better info about when he immigrated -- US censuses are good for that. Even his application for marriage license to Marie Isetts should give you a lot more information.
Then you can check for passenger arrival records which should give information about WHERE in Norway your guy was coming from. Try the Ellis Island search websites -- they are online and free.
A common name like that and you really have to do a bunch of background research first. |

| Yes, it was a common name and would have to get my cousin to give me more detailed info but I think he was Swedish decent and she had little contact with him after parents divorced. |

| Also consider that the poster was talking about a Hans Jensen who fathered a child in 1862. You are talking about a Hans Jensen who immigrated about 1914 and who then married. That is at least a 52 year time span. So you think that Marie Isetts married a man who was probably at least 72 years old? |

I find some add. info. here, Marie Isabell Isett b. 1921.
If Hans Jensen em. 1914 he was much older than Marie.
More info from rootsweb here
Hans Jensen was probably not a Swede, the ending Jensen instead of the Swedish Jenson or Jensson is probably Norwegian or Danish.
No rule without exeption.

But the spelling here in the US can have little or nothing to do with the spelling patterns of the home country -- we are just TERRIBLE at that. They really have to check for something which would give actual information as related by the person themselves.

Olianna Maria Johannesdatter was a "Gaardmandskone" when she died Dec 1864. The Oliana Johannesdatter was unmarried when she gave birth to Carolina in Aug 1862.
No Olianna Johannesdatter was married in Skiptvet from 1865 to aug 1864, - I don't believe you found Carolinas mum.

I was not sure about that one at all, Einar , you are most likely right!
But I Think this Hans Jensen was still alive in 1910!
However not asked for maybe the poster knows this aleady! |

| Hopkins was right, and you people are good! but thanks for doing search on my Aunt Marie! I just realised that her middle name would be "Ingebjorg" in Norway (or so I read somewhere). |
