Elen Johannesdatter Haldorsen
KaylaMaI don`t know when she was born, and thats one of the things that makes it hard to find her, and the fact that she might had made changes in her names...[?] She was emigrating from Norway to Canada, at least her only known destination was Canada we think..unless USA Got to have been born between ca. 1850-1860 sometime, and was from either Tromsø or Alta
kaare nThere are two Elen Jo....... born in Alta between 1850- 1860 http://www.rhd.uit.no/folketellinger/ftliste.aspx?ft=1865&knr=2012&kenr=004&bnr=0025&lnr=00 http://www.rhd.uit.no/folketellinger/ftliste.aspx?ft=1865&knr=2012&kenr=005&bnr=0033&lnr=00 Kåre
BriningHi There is one Elen Haldorsen with a father named Johan in the 1865 census [url="http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=f62013&gardpostnr=155&personpostnr=963&merk=963#ovre"]Click Here[/url] in Talvigs. Could that be her? Carla
Tami_jensonHi Marianne, I looked up the birth record of Elen's son who was born 4 jun. 1879 in Talvik . His name was Alf Kjartan. His father was a Widowed man named Johan Edvard Kjeldman (born 1830) and Elen's birth year was listed as 1842 on this record. Age always varies by a few years on records, but I think this is close enough to prove that your Elen Johanesdatter Haldorsen is this one: Elen Johannesdatter Haldorsen born 14 Aug 1840, Talvik, Finnmark. Parents Johan Christian Haldorsen and Alet Olsdatter. You can see in the 1865 census from the last posting that she had a sister named Anna also which matches your information. Sincerely, Tami Jenson
