I am looking for information on Aletti or Aletta Haavie, (1839-1910) who came to the US in 1904 to live with her daughter and son in law in Lowell MA. Lived and married in Norway. She came to the US after her husband died.
I THINK her husband was Edvard Haavie.
She had two kids, Jan's Jacob and Anna.
I have good info on family and where she was in the states. But know next to nothing about Norway. Family? Location? Husband? Siblings?

Thank you for any help.

Probably her in the 1900 Norwegian Census

1900

And her emigration record from 1904.

1904

She is traveling with her son, name here is Hans Jacob but probably the same as the Jacob in the 1900 Census.

Here is his baptism record. Parents are Johan Edvard Hansen and Alette Marie Jerksdatter. Born August 15, 1879 and baptized Jan 1, 1880.

She is living with her husband and parents in the 1865 Census. However her age is transcribed incorrectly and off by ten years. They are living on Haavi søndre at that time

1865

Based on the above information I would say that this is the baptism of her father. Note the first name can be spelled a lot of ways, Hjerk, Jerk and here Gjerk.

Gjerk Rasmusen

Name: Gjerk Rasmusen
Gender: Male
Baptism Date: 19 feb 1804
Baptism Place: , , Ostfold, NorwayHobol

Original record is fourth record right hand page

And probably the family in the 1801 Census, That would be before Jerk was born.

1801 Census

A good discussion of the family in a Digitalarkvet Forum.

According to the Ancestry.com data base Johan Edvard and Alette had these children. Ancestry does not always do a good job of assigning a last name to the child. That is they do not always use the name of the father plus son or sen.

Whoa. I have been beating my head against a wall to learn and figure some of this stuff out....bam! I call on the experienced, and they answer. A bunch there I need to digest and get on paper/computer/tablet/whatever device I am on. Thank you very much for your work on this. I will likely have some more questions, do not want to be "that annoying guy".

You did not ask about her husband but here is some information about him. In the marriage record for Alette he is listed with the farm name Lie and his father is given as Hans Engebretsen. This is likely the father of Johan Edvard with wife and children on the Lie farm in the 1865 Census. The farm is also in Hobøl,

1865

Probably the baptism of Johan Edvard, father name is the same although spelled slightly different.

Going back to the ancestors of Johan Edvard Hansen. In the baptism record his father is listed as Hans Ingebretsen Lie; In the 1865 Census there is a Hans Engebretsen born about 1808 living on Lie. His wife is dead by then. He is listed as having been born in Borre, Vestfold. Here is a candidate for this person.

1865

Hans Ingebretsen
in the Norway, Select Baptisms, 1634-1927
Name: Hans Ingebretsen
Gender: Male
Baptism Date: 22 mai 1808 (22 May 1808)
Baptism Place: , , Vestfold, NorwayBorre
Father: Ingebret Olsen

FHL Film Number: 127564

So first Hans Ingebrictesen (or Engebrictsen) married Christine Marie Ingebrictsdatter Lie November 1, 1838.

#11

Then second he married a Elen Sophie Andreasdatter in 1848.

Hans Engebrectsen

So looking for a Ingbret Olsen in the 1801 Census for Borre, Vestland only turns up one candidate that has a birth year that fits and he is married to Birthe Ouensdatter.

1801

They are living on the farm named Aasgaarden. And in the same list is the likely parents of Birthe a Ougen Iverssen and hs wife Kiellau Ellevsdatter.

Focusing on the parents of Birthe first we find this marriage record for a Ouven Qvist and Kiellov Ellevsdagtter

Auven Qvist
in the Norway, Select Marriages, 1660-1926
Name: Auven Qvist
Gender: Male
Marriage Date: 13 jul 1768
Marriage Place: Borre,Vestfold,Norway
Spouse: Kiellov Ellevsdr
FHL Film Number: 127564

Original record is middle far right hand column

Link

Transcribed record makes the reading a little easier

Link

So as usually happens this far back in time we find a Geni.com tree to use as a guide

Geni.com

There is also a very detailed tree. Scroll down to 82. Iver Jensen Qvist,
