Hi
Håkon Einar must have come to in New York before 31. aug. 1900 (if he is the correct one).
According to the norwegian 1910 census he had a daughter born in Oslo in february 1904.
I found the baptizm of Einar Oscar Wang in Moss so he is another person and not interesting.

| But he is in the 1900 Noregian Census that you posted, ikke sant. How could Jørgine be going to see him in the US if he is living in Norway. I confess I am a little confused. |

Hi
The norwegian 1900 census was held late december 1900. He could have come back after a stay in US where he met Jørgine. |

| Where is he in the 1910 Norwegian Census. The 1900 US Census was held in June, so if Jørgine was to meet him in NY in August he should be in the 1900 US Census as well. |

When Jorgine traveled to US, she gave not only a name (Haakon Weng) but also an address in New York as her destination:
5046 133rd Street
Anton tried to find out about it, early on.
Any thoughts on how to find out who was living at that address on census day 1900? Also what kind of dwelling it was? If a hotel, it could be it is only a transient landing spot, and Haakon Weng could live elsewhere in the U.S.
Also, "a friend" paid for Jorgine's ticket. Is there any way to check who paid? Likely Haakon Weng paid, but at least we'd have another rendering of his name - maybe including his patronymic.
The guess that Haakon paid is one reason he seems not guilty of evil to me - it is only a guess! To lure her to New York was a rather expensive undertaking. Much more convenient to target a local person if a bad man wants to commit some kind of crime.
If Haakon Einar Weng b 1877 V. Aker is the correct person, he would have been in the US only briefly and thus hard to find. Let's say, for the moment, he is correct. What we then see he returned to Norway, married, and had a family. Is there any way to know if he ever served time in a Norwegian prison (or similar indication of a criminal character). If not, he appears to be a law abiding, ordinary man. So even if he's the right guy - if - then Jorgine's fate is still unknown.
Jorgine's relation in New York will have the advantage of making local inquiries, for leads not available online.
Perhaps someone has a suggestion for agencies to visit and/or questions to ask?
The local genealogy society might have a volunteer willing to help or at least make suggestions. |

It is a long street running from the west side Manhatten to the east side of the Bronx, However using 5046 does not really bring up a specific address so I wonder about that.
Here is Anton's report about looking for this place.
Some New York genealogy links.

The address as I read it off the manifest for Jørgine does not make any sense, at least in the way that 133rd street is currently numbered. In Manhatten 133rd street runs from the 100's on the East Side ie the East River to the 700's on the West Side ie the Hudson River. The street also runs through the Bronx, But also from about 500's to 700's. So there is something about that address that does not make sense.
The address in the original manifest shows a 504 with a slight space between the 504 and the 6 followed by a comma and then 133rd New York. The 6 is set a little higher than the 504 but it is hard to explain why the six if it is not part of the street address of 5406.
Unless the address is for Apt. 540 at number 6, 133rd street, Maybe a stretch. |

Searching New York City city directories 1905 +/- 5 years for Jorgine found two possibles:
1902 Anne Wang 2016 1st Ave in the woodenware business
1906 A. Strand 5619 5th Ave. Laundry
I didn't look for Anne or Jorgine Anderson, though there were very few Jorgine/ Jorgina with any last name but more Georgina but none of the possible last names Anderson, Wang, Strand, etc. |

A 1922 book on "chain stores of New York" includes grocery store A. D. Rittenhoff & Co. Inc., 504 West 133rd Street, New York City. It's not clear if this is the same address, plus it's years later. A store building could have apartments on upper levels.
Anna Strand should be in 1905 New York state census. A problem with that name is that vivi stressed the family dynamics were such that Jorgine would write home were she living. Of course, as always, we don't know until we know. |

There are seven Ann* Strands in the 1905 New York Census, Three of them married, so I would assume using the Strand name of their husband. The birth year of the others is not very promising.

What happened to Anna Jørgine b. 1875?
