Help on searching for Jakob Juul |
skadi | Hi all,
I am literally tearing my hair out with frustration. My great grandfather is Jakob Juul and he was born in 1894 in Kristiansund. He had two sisters Ida and Matilde. My grandmother was born in 1914 and Jakob was on a ship called "Salina" and his papers show he last sailed somehere between 11th July 1912 and departed 8/8 1912. I cannot find a reference to the Salina so I cannot verify if it landed in Australia or if he jumped ship somewhere and stowed away to Australia. I cannot find any marriage or death records in Norway or here and it is really frustrating me.
if someone could help me out or point me in the right direction I'd be grateful. I have scanned the papers and they are very clear if anyone wants to see them.
Thanks in advance,
Skad |

Oh God thank you so much!!!!!!! I had the wrong ship name. If you can offer me any other advice I would be so grateful. |
Hopkins | I always assume we're interested in finding earlier generations and locations (even if not specifically stated).
Jakob Ragnar Juul's father, Johan Chr., and his brother Anton appear in the 1875 Norwegian census --

Before brother Anton was born in the 1865 Norwegian census -

Wow thank you!!!! I didn't realise Anton was a brother. Because the two sisters appeared in the 1900 census but I was under the impression Anton was a relative.
I have been trying, without much luck to find Jakob's details in Australia as he emigrated out here. Do you know if his siblings emigrated also? I cannot understand Norwegian, nor can I find decent page translator

Jo Anne Sadler | A modern dictionary wouldn't not be so helpful in reading the old 19th century Dano-Norwegian records. This is the best dictionary I have found:

That said, this is the only free online Norwegian to English translator I know of:

Hopkins | You can also find good instruction on 'how-to' research your Norwegian ancestors. I'm sure you've already started to study the articles on those subjects at THIS website, but you'll find links to a few other very helpful articles and 'essays' online -

Another of my favorites is more difficult to capture as a URL - if it doesn't "travel well" search at www.familysearch.org for Research Help about Norway.

I would have no idea if others of your family also emigrated from Norway from the material that has been presented here. That will probably be one of the many items that you will endeavor to learn as you continue your more detailed family history research.
You can find/translate/learn many of the necessary terms for your Norwegian research through many of the online sites, but I also like to have a Norwegian-English dictionary on my home reference book shelf - right next to the beginnings of my map collection related to some specific areas of Norway.
Good luck. It's a hobby where we continue to learn and learn - history, geography, language and more..... |
