Ingeborg Karoline Christensdtr/Johan Christensen
TinabrushI am looking for immigration information on my g-grandmother, Ingeborg Karoline Christensdatter who lived at a cotters place, Kasa u/Haukeli, prior to immigrating to the U.S. in 1880. She left with her sister, Ann K. Christensdatter and an uncle, Anders Halvorsen. I have been told she was 18 when she came to the United States. I have no other information except that she was in Michigan in 1882 when she was married. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Ingeborg Karoline married Johan (John) Christensen Herre who I am told immigrated to the U.S. a few years before she did. I have been told he came to the U.S. on a cattle ship (?) and was from Bamle. That is not alot of information to go on but again, any assistance or guidance would be very much appreciated. Thanks! Tina
HopkinsI think the Christensdtr girls came from Solum in Telemark. It would appear to be the family here - http://www.rhd.uit.no/folketellinger/ftliste_e.aspx?ft=1865&knr=0818&kenr=010&bnr=0044&lnr=000 Johan Christiansen and family on the Herre lille (Little Herre) farm in Bamle (Bamble), Telemark in 1865. http://www.rhd.uit.no/folketellinger/ftliste_e.aspx?ft=1865&knr=0814&kenr=001&bnr=0019&lnr=000 If any of them left from the port of Skien in Telemark - I hope someone might know how and where to check for that...
