Any Sirevoogs out there?
diverdebSearching for relatives.....my father, Arthur, was born here in Chicago in 1915. His father, John, was married to Inga Andreasson who passed away in 1921 from tuberculosis. John had a brother, maybe 2? Not sure what year my grandfather arrived, but I'm guessing 1908-1912. I believe they were from Stavanger or a small town nearby.
jwiborgHi, the small township Sirevåg is located in Hå muncipality, Rogaland, so your guess about the Stavanger location is probably right. Do you have any estimate of birthyear of John? Jan Peter
diverdebHello there! Thanks for the reply......John would have been born in 1880 or 1881. He was buried here in Chicago on my 9th birthday in September of 1965 at age 83. We believe he arrived in the states in 1904 or 1905. His middle initial was A which I think was for Arthur, which is my father's name. Besides having a brother, John may have had a sister who married a Christensen who my father always referred to as Uncle Chris. My father, Arthur, is 90 years old and unfortunately not able to remember much. I do have a "cousin" in Oslo, Turid Bergen-Nilsen (married name) but we seem to have lost contact after she moved back to Oslo after living here in the states for quite a few years. Thanks for your help! Debbie

hastoThere is a reconstructed emigrant list from Stavanger port. There is a Karoline Andreasdatter Haver, born 13 May 1877, daughter of Andreas Johannesen Haver, heading for Brooklyn: [url="http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=STAV&gardpostnr=25957&merk=25957#ovre"]emigrant list[/url] The source of this information is the bygdebok (farm history book) of OGNA, HAA page 32. In the census there is information that John Andersen Haver, b. 1880, emigrated in 1901. And that Johannes Haver in 1915 was engaged to Louise Thorsen.
diverdebThank you so much! That is him! 1882. Now where are the rest of my relatives? I wish I knew the names of his father and brothers. My father had a brother who died within a year or two of his birth and he has no other siblings. I am also the only child, and female, so the end of the line. Thank you again! Debbie
