Anton Borresen
JanieMy g/grandfather was Hans Borresen and came to live in Townsville Australia in perhaps 1876. I believe his brother stayed in Fredrickstad, near Oslo. He was born in 1863. Father Borre Abrahamsen & mother Berthe Olsen. Looking for any information on Anton or family members or any living family members as well.

JanieThank you very much for the information on Anton Borresen & Family. It has helped fill in some gaps to the Borresen family tree. Janie
JanieWe are also having trouble finding out how Hans Borresen (my g/grandfather) came to Australia. He is thought to have come to Townsville, Queensland either working on a ship (as he did in Australia later on) or in the navy perhaps in 1877? He may have left Norway at 17 Years? Hans Louis Borresen was born In Fredrikstad on 29/10/1860. His parents were Borre Abrahamsen B:1822 at Borge& Berthe Marie Olsdatter.
