He passed away on May 9,1942 due to burns when his clothing caught fire.He had a son named Olaf, and a daughter named Olga Bottem (Halvorson). Karina died in May 1941. Would like any information on him anyone might have.
HopkinsIs there a question in there somewhere? Closest match I can find in Ringsaker, Hedmark, Norway 1865 census - http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=f60412&gardpostnr=1328&sokefelt=skjul
torrustadAcording to Census 1930 he imigrated 1886: http://content.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=View&r=an&dbid=6224&iid=MNT626_1106-0267&fn=Martinus&ln=Halvarson&pid=79134100 This CAN be the right man; taken from Census 1875 Ringsaker: http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=f70412&gardpostnr=339&personpostnr=2212&merk=2212#ovre Snilsberg farm is a rather big farm; but of course he could have gone to the US; it was not only poor people who left. I have been looking for him at the Emigant Archives; no exact result so far. He didn't emigrate togeter with his parents?? (if he did he probably would have changed his patronym so he had the same as his father) I have only found one Martinus emigrating from Ringsaker 1885 http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=emikra1&sokpostnr=31#a0 but this man has another surname. Of course he or his family could have moved to another farm; then they often changed their surnames. I think you should put a query here: http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/WebDebatt.exe?slag=listtema&debatt=brukar&spraak=e If you don't get the help you need; please send me an email at tango oscar dash romeo uniform at online dot no. I know a genealogist at Ringsaker; he is "the best"!
torrustadSorry; for some reason a wrong link turned up on the emigrant list. I'll try once more: http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=emikra1&gardpostnr=77494&merk=77494#ovre
