| REISTAD FAMILY FROM HIDRA |
| debbie jacobsen | OSKAR REISTAD Hidra ved Flekkefjørd? Who were his parents?
Min morfar OSKAR REISTAD f. 1897 (jeg tror han er født på Hidra, familien bo på Reistad)
OSKAR reiste til Brooklyn c. 1921
gm TOMINE ABRAHAMSEN f. 1900 Tjørve, Lista
Hun emigrete til Brooklyn i 1922 or '23
De gifte seg i Brooklyn
Mamma [Allis Synøve aka Alice] var født i Brooklyn i 1927
Oskar fikk TB, de reiste tilbakke til Norge i 1929
Han var i på sykehuset i Mandal [Mandals Sanetorium]
Jeg tror han døde der
Etter han døde, Mormor reiste tilbake til NY, hvor hun tjente.
Mamma ble igjen i Norge - på Tjørve. Hun kom til Amerika like før kirgen
Oskars halvbror heter onkel THORVALD REISTAD gm Gunhild
Som jeg forstår min oldemore døde and oldefar gifte seg på ny med hennes yngeste søster.
Den yngeste sønnen ifra ekteskapet var Thorvald
Thorvald og Gunhild hadde barn som reiste til USA, New Jersey kanskje
den yngste sønnen er mer eler mindre på min alder f. i c. 1955
jeg tror han heter Yngve eller Ingvar
Thorvald og Gunhild bødde i hva jeg tror va familiens heim på Reistad. Jeg kan huske at vi gikk tur mot sjøen og der var der også et hus som de eide.
Jeg kan også huske at mamma hadde ei tante trine på Feda (Feda va i nærheten av Kivesdal)
Er disse min morfar, tante Trine of oldemor?
fra NDA 1900 Census
OKSAR OLSEN [resident mt - hva betyr det?]f. 1897 Flekkefjørd [sønn av nr. 4 - men jeg kan ikkje finne nr. 4]
TRINE OLSEN f. 1893 New York [ dtr av nr. 4]
Hvem er nr. 4?
BERTINE OLSEN f. 1870 Flekkefjørd snedkerkone
Jeg tenker at original etter navn var Olsen og at Oskar tok gaardsnavn Reistad når han flyttet til Amerika
Er Bertine mamma til Oskar & Trine?
Mannen til Bertine er ikkje nevnt, er han kanskje i Amerika for å jobbe? Trine var født i NY, det er mulig at oldeforeldrene mine var begge to i NY når tante Trine var født, før morfar OSKAR var født

| Hopkins | Do "Oskar Olsen, Trine Olsen and Bertine Olsen" from what you list as "NDA 1900 Census" (?) match the group using surname 'Omland' listed here in 1900 Norwegian census for Flekkefjord ? -

| debbie jacobsen | Yes, the birth year for OSKAR OLSEN aka OSKAR OMLAND aka OSKAR REISTAD all match. The 1900 DIS records show OSKAR OLSEN born in Flekkefjørd 1897 living on Hidra and on the same farm are TRINE OLSEN born in NY 1893 [presumably his sister] and BERTINE OLSEN born in Flekkefjørd 1870 [his mother?] In other words, yes the Olsens match the Omlands.
That begs the question, who was Mr. Olsen aka Mr. Omland? Is I'm sure there are several Omlands in Norway, is there one either near Flekkefjørd? Near Kvinesdal? I ask this because tante Trine (who I do not remember, I just know that she was older than my grandfather, Oskar, lived at Feda which was near Kvinesdal). I assume that Oskar and Trine's paternal grandfather was named Ole. Surname? Can you figure that out? I also assume that when Oskar immigrated to the US he took the gårdsnavn Reistad.
I do know that Oskar had other siblings. There was a tante Magnhild and one other sister who lived in Brooklyn. Then there was the half brother onkle Thorvald (married to Gunhild) who was still alive in 1987, but has since then died.
Also connected was Ansine, I think she may have been Oskar's cousin.

| Hopkins | You seem to have fairly firm time period for his birth and a location. Why not scan through the birth/baptisms for that year (I always include the year before and year after if necessary) for the clerical district of Flekkefjord in Vest-Agder. The LDS Family History Library has microfilm copies of the originals that you can order and use at the nearest LDS Family History Center to your current location. |
| debbie jacobsen | Thank You for the LDS info.
That sounds time well spent on my next vacation.
I am now digging up other ancestors from materials available at home
Thanks for your help |
| Hopkins | Your materials at home seem to be quite amazing. Someone in the family earlier work on ancestral records? or an elderly family member's writings? I don't recognize some of the acronyms included - DIS? NDA?
You should also read the instructions for the The Norwegian Historical Data Centre (NHDC) census databases (both the easy and advanced versions have their strengths).
http://www.rhd.uit.no/folketellinger/folketellinger_avansert_e.aspx
That resource should be of some entertainment for you.
Then start working with the databases of the Digitalarkivet at - (far fewer instructions but more varied databases)

A friend wrote a series of articles which you may also find of interest - he discusses using an LDS Family History Center and US public library's Inter-Library Loan program.
