Grandmother |
junejam | HI
I am looking for my grandmother Bertha Torkildsen she left Oslo in Oct 9 1906 to Chicago . I think she was on the ship oslo . Cant find her at Ellis island |
hasto | I did not find Bertha, but I found her sister Guldborg Torkildsen (26) at Ellis Island October 11 1911.
They are both in 1900 census in Oslo (Kristiania): http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=f00301&gardpostnr=4612&personpostnr=122504&merk=122504#ovre
Their father Gudbrand Torkildsen was a bookbinder, born in Hole parish. Guldborg was also working in the printing-house.
