I'm wondering if Gotfred Antonius Sybrian Ambrosius Olsen born 10 May 1881 in Trondheim, who married Katherine born in Ytteroy on 8 Nov 1874, had any children? Gotfred and Katherine are listed on the 1910 census in Trondheim, but I have no other information.

Gotfred was the son of Sivert Andreas Olsen (1855) and Anna Gurine Olsdtr (1854).

Can someone kindly help me with this request?

I'm also wondering if perhaps someone knows why Gotfred was named with such Roman names?

Thank you!

Thank you, Jane, for the information. Perhaps they never had any children....

Any thought about why Gotfred would be named as such? Gotfred Antonius Sybrian Ambrosious Olsen? Was there a Latin/Roman influence in Sweden at the time? 1881

His sister Alfild was named as Alpha Othelie Imaline Omega Olsen born in 1878. Quite the interesting names!

In the districts where my ancestors came from in Buskerud fylke, middle names are pretty rare. Usually only the high up mucky muck's kids like the pastor's children get more than one name. But having 4 names might be satisfying some creative impulse on the part of the parents?
