In Samuels 2nd marriage, his mother is named Carrie Sphoie.
Sphoie does not sound very norwegian... are you familiar with that name?

In Elsies marriage, her mother is named Carrie Michaelson.

Most records shows Carries last name as "Nicholson", which likely would be Nikolaisdatter in Norway, while Michaelson would be Mikkelsdatter.
So we could be looking for a Karen Sophie Mikkelsdatter...

The reference to "garver mikael thorkildsen" is just a short mention of a real estate sale.
However, the book also says on a different page that he is from Christiania, and that he married Marie Andersdatter from Råer on 27/3-41. Caia Tørkelsen in census-1865 is correct, fostered at uncle Svend Andersen. Svend is Marie's brother and inherited the Råer homestead which mikael thorkildsen bought some land of. The book mention the fostered Caia, without mentioning that she is Svend's niece.

"kaja sofie" refers to a Kaja Sofie Sørensdatter, born 1874 on Langli.

Okay. Many thanks for the look and effort. I may have to uncross out the garver Mikael Thorkildsen stuff in the prior post because the references might also be of the same man.

Unfortunately, I haven't found any travel for Kaja Sofie, so she hasn't sprouted legs....

It means he has returned his "citizen letter" to the Authorities.
The letter was a document for people who wanted to conduct trade or crafts. Citizens' letters were to be returned when the citizenship was terminated. Most, however, retained their citizenship for life, and the family usually did not return the letter.

So he returned for a reason.... maybe emigration?

Many thanks to all of you for all the hard work you have done, so far. I WOULD NEVER have been able to find any of these clues without your help.

This is the only record where I found her date of birth specified.

It must be mentioned that we have not concluded on anything yet...
Kaia Sofie Mikaelsdatter is a candidate, but so far no records of emigration or anything like that.
Pros: D.o.b. matches, Sofie as middle name
Cons: Kaia instead of Kari or Karen, location "a bit off" Christiania/Oslo, lastname = Mikaelsdatter instead of Nikolaisdatter, no emigration record.

I completely understand and only wanted to thank everyone for their incredible contributions ... so far.

I am following your replies every hour and am amazed every time I look at the efforts your group is willing to provide to a complete stranger who has never done anything to help you in return.

Here is her death certificate which also gives that date:
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X6C7-8HB

However, there is no picture of her headstone, which is the usual customary source for the information in FAG. So unless its on the stone someone (vjk, maybe?) got it from someplace else, perhaps her death certificate.

Her husband is the informant for the death certificate but he didn't know the names of her parents. This is always hard to be informant on these documents. Maybe you actually do know but because of the fraught emotion associated with a particular person's death, can't remember or access the information.

By the time of her obituary publication, someone remembered Nichalson as her maiden name and included it. What was the source for that? If it was a hand-written document, confusing an N and an M could easily happen, depending the handwriting and pen style.

So these are the "arts" of family history research.

If all goes well, this will take you to a map of the Oslo area which also shows Vestby:
https://www.google.com/search?source=univ&tbm=isch&q=map+showing+where+vestby+is+in+relation+to+oslo+norway&client=firefox-b-1-d&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwix09jvo8TvAhUbOs0KHUYBBvEQ7Al6BAgEEBA&biw=1280&bih=644&dpr=1.5#imgrc=Vb02zRgsvT7HYM

And it should be noted that the brothers and sisters noted above found in familysearch Norway baptisms database were baptized, if not born in Oslo (Kristiania).

In the 1880 census of Cleveland Ohio there are 37 people born in Norway living there.

Charles is also an immigrant, in 1910 census his year of arrival is 1881.
