Mary Persky asked for Information on Tarald Taraldsen (1892-1946) in a post some months ago. I have been in contact with her as Tarald was my grandmother´s youngest brother.
However, my grandmother has written in her memoirs that six of her brothers and sisters were in the US around 1910.
Her sister Terese/Teresie Jørgensen (1886-1977) is well known to me, but some of the brothers I have lost track of, despite searches in censuses etc.
I know Hans Taraldsen (born July 11, 1877) and brother Andreas ( born April 25, 1888) sailed from Kristiansand November 15 1907 (Thingvalla). I have a picture of Andreas hunting in Alaska.
I wonder whether Aanon Emil (born June 16, 1881) might have left after his wife and baby died in 1909. I have no proof of this, though.
Then the sixth might be Berte Olsen (born July 2, 1884), wife of Otto M Olsen (1884) or Tomine ( born February 7, 1876, wife of Knut Knutsen (1871)
My grandmother wrote that they went to Texas and worked in the oil industry. Tarald lived in Orange, Texas so this makes perfect sense to me.
I would appreciate any help!
Best wishes from
Unni Knutsen |

Based on the 1891 Census, I would guess that Peder and Aanon from the ship in Virginai in 1914 are the Peder and Aanon found in the 1891 Norwegian Census. Trying to find these sailors in an American Census is a tough job. Almost easier to find them in the Norwegian Census listed as living in America or even England? As was Aanon for the 1900 Norwegian Census.

Would the brothers have used the last name of Hanson in America?
Aamund Emil Hansen (Taraldsen)? as posted above.

Interesting Jackie. The document gives his father's name as Jarold (Or Tarald?) Hansen and mother as Anne Olsen. Person filling out the form is A Hansen Saratoga, Texas.
[url=https://postimages.org/] [/url]
Must be the same guy as the death record posted above in Digitalarkivet
\https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/267/pg00000002732893
Perhaps the death record is a little wrong and the parents names are Tarald Olsen and Anna Hansdatter. Then it would fit it the parents in the 1891 Census
Aanon Emil Olsen was born Jun of 1881 tho not 1882. |

| The ladies are a little harder to find. Tell us more information on them if you know it. When did they get married. Norway or America? When did they leave Norway? etc. |

I do not know whether they actually emigrated, but I have lost sight of them in Norway. I hope I can get track of them again when the 1920-census is released in Norway.
Anne Tomine Taraldsdatter was born in Sætra, Søndeled, February 7, 1876. She was married to Knud Knudsen, born April 17, 1871 in Vegårdshei. He belonged to the religious sect "Guds menighet". I find them in the 1900-census (https://www.digitalarkivet.no/census/rural-residence/bf01037192000431), but not in 1910.
The other sister was called Berte and was born July 2, 1884. She was first married to Petter Jørgen Pettersen in 1903, but he died outside New Zealand (sailor). July 6th 1913 she marries Otto M. Olsen born December 13, 1884 from Grue. She lived her last years in Evje, Norway, according to my grandmother, but I can´t find any evidence...
