Hi again - The emigration date in the Norway record (leaving Norway) matches perfectly with the Hellig Olav passenger manifest, arriving New York. Gotta give him a minute to get there! ; D

Back in an edit with the 1940 US census that Jackie found, but with the Ancestry.com:

http://www.myheritage.no/person-1000035_177439651_177439651/haakon-e-hansen


According to the family tree above, this would be Aagot's family in 1910 (she is not with them):
http://digitalarkivet.arkivverket.no/en-gb/ft/person/pf01036530000901


Marriage of Aagot's father and stepmother in Hovin.

This may be Haakon's wife Aagot Olsdatter in 1910 in Hovin:

Thank you guys so so much for putting the pieces together for me! Is there any way to see if he got married and had kids?

And is there a way to get a marrige certificate and his birthcetificate?

Same strategy for a death certificate.

Birth Year: abt 1896

This might be simpler. In the marriage certificate, it looks like you might need the brides maiden name.

You should look for Haakon in the "old fulton" site that Jane mentioned earlier. There is a notice from 1929 including both Haakon Hansen and a Marta Gulbranson in a Brooklyn paper. I couldn't get the image to load on my machine so I was unable to link to the article but perhaps you might if your computer is newer than mine.

Here is the couple in the 1940 census, names are spelled rather badly:
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KQR4-2WB

He had to have died after 1942 since he was in the old man draft of that year. The Haakon who died in 1940's parents are Nila (probably Nils) Hansen and Certen Jorgenson, this doesn't match who you know are your Haakon's parents or does it?

I sent an email to both of the cemeteries that he may be laying at! What usually happened to a persons belonings(documents) when they died back then? He had 3 sons in Norway, is it possible that it got sent to them?

And is there a way to find out Martas maiden name?
Can any of the archives in Norway have any information about Haakon after he left Norway or is all the information in a New York archive?

Thank you all for pitching in!

If you are asking about his estate settlement (skifte) those records are usually maintained by the county (for example Kings, Richmond, etc)in which a person resided, if there are any.

If there is any wealth to distribute that would have been done at the time of Haakon's death. If he had no will (a directive giving this to this one, etc.) then his estate would have been settled by New York state's default formula. I don't know what that formula is exactly but typically in a lot of states the formula is 1/3 to the widow, 2/3 divided equally between surviving children. But all sorts of shenanigans can happen when settling an estate--"Do not say you truly know someone until you have divided an inheritance with them"--.

His death certificate would most likely have been issued by the state of New York if he still lived there when his death occurred. But you don't know where or when he died for sure and New York City and New York are such heavily populated that it might be hard to get a search done.
The Italian gen site that Jane gave you before has a form with which to order a New York state or city d.c. or directions anyway.

Do you know Haakon's date of birth in Norway for sure? Have you looked for an estate record of his parents?

The Italian gen site wedding database revealed this partner for a 1929 marriage of a Haaken Hansen:

Last Name Given Name Month/Day Year CtfNum County Soundex ID
Heidnansen Martha Sep 27 1929 14299 Kings H355 2016250

There is an order form at the site. I'm not sure Heidnansen is a good interpretation of her last name but you can see what you think when you see the document.

So Haakon and Aagot got divorced? Any record of that in Norway?
