Pedersen 1866-1867
PaminWAI'm looking for this family: Pedersen, Augusta (age 44 in 1880) - mother, born in Norway Pedersen, Pauline (born in 1861?) daughter, born in Norway Pedersen, Bennett/Bernhardt (age 16 or 18 in 1880) son, born in Norway Pedersen, Anna (age 13 in 1880) daughter, born in Norway The mother is a widow in 1880. I've been told them came from Bergen around 1866 or 1867. I'm not sure where they lived in Norway though. I've tried searching on my own, but I'm not having much luck. I'm wondering if someone here can help me. Thanks!
PaminWAFurthermore, in case it helps, there were 3 other children born later in Minnesota -- ages listed in 1880 as 8, 5, & 3.
HopkinsWHERE are they in the 1880 census? Where in Minnesota?
PaminWAIn the 1880 census they are in the Cedar Creek Precinct, Clark County, Washington. Page 19A, starting on Line 12. Thanks! I have no clue where in MN they are from.
PaminWABTW, I found a Pauline Pedersen in Edoy, Norway in 1865. However, I don't believe this the correct family because the siblings and mother's age don't match. :/
HopkinsBut they are using the surname "Adesen"? You call them Pedersen, why? They used that name later or in other records? Did any of them choose to use other surnames?
PaminWAI don't think it is "Adesen" when I look at that census. For example, compare the written "A" in the last name to the "A" in Augusta within the same line. The person writing this name doesn't make the two A's look at all alike. I can't really make out that last name myself though when looking at it with my own eyes. I've found plenty of census where what one transcribes is not what it is.

PaminWAI saw what familysearch.org transcribed it as. If you look at a scanned picture of that census though, the first letter of their last name doesn't look like an A to me, especially when you compare it to the "A" in Augusta's name on the same line. With my eyes it looks like it could be a "P" instead.
PaminWAThe first family listed on that census page is this one: http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/Census/household_record.asp?HOUSEHOLD_CODE=1880US_4489385&frompage=99 Familysearch.org transcribes them as Aelbeck. The "A" in that last name looks just like the "A" in Augusta's first name on the same page, too.
PaminWABTW, I searched for "Adesen" in 1865 here: http://www.rhd.uit.no/indexeng.html and don't find any at all in Norway.
HopkinsWhat other US records do you find Augusta and/or her children in? Did you find Augusta or Pauline in Minnesota in 1870? What information did Pauline's marriage record and/or marriage license application give about her father/mother? Was Augusta's husband ever in the Washington area - did you find a death or burial record for him? If she took her children all the way from Minnesota to Washington as a widow - was she travelling to meet with other family in that WA area? Adesen isn't a spelling that we'd expect to find in Norway - but spelling in US records of Norwegian names can be drastically altered and misunderstood. 1860s emigration records from the port of Bergen in Norway are very very incomplete (they don't really start getting good until about 1874) - did you look for arrival records in American ports? But without knowing what name to look for - that will also be problematic.
kaare n Totally wrong years, and names, but just some name to show that Norway had some names that easily could be Adesen. Information on domicile Previous domicile Next domicile Data on domicile: Census year: 1865 Municipality: Rennesøy Municipality number: 1142 Name of domicile: Hommervold Number of persons in this domicile: 6 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name Family status Marital status Occupation Birth year Place of birth Ethnicity Aad Pedersen Huusf g Gdbr og Selveier 1799 Rennesøe Prgj. Anne Pedersdatter hans Kone g 1801 Rennesøe Prgj. Peder Aadsen deres Søn ug hjælper Faderen 1837 Rennesøe Prgj. Ester Aadsdatter deres Datter ug 1835 Rennesøe Prgj. Anne M Aadsdatter deres Datter ug 1839 Rennesøe Prgj. Pauline Aadsdatter deres Datter ug 1841 Rennesøe Prgj. It is both Pedersen and Aadsen.
DiannePam, I found this family in the 1870 census in Paint Creek Township, Allamakee County, Iowa (Post office would be Waterville and Dalby) Martin Pederson, Carpenter, age 34, Norway Aagot (probably later Americanized to Augusta,) age 33 Pauline, age 9, Norway Bernhard, age 7, Norway Anna, age 4, Norway Carl (or Earl) age 1, born Iowa If she is a widow in 1880, then Martin must have died between 1870 and 1880. P. S. My great-grandfather, Martin Larson, was listed as Matthias in the 1865 Norway census.

PaminWAThanks everyone for all this info. I'm helping a fellow family member trace their Peterson family line. Therefore, I personally don't know the answers to several of the questions being asked. I'll pass this info along to the person I'm assisting to see if the further clues mentioned here will help them further. I really appreciate everyone's time with this. You are great!! If I learn more info, I'll share, too.
BriningThis could be them in the 1865 census for Lier Buskerud [url="http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=f60626&gardpostnr=34&personpostnr=279&merk=279#ovre"]Click Here[/url] Reinhard is probably Bernhard. The LDS has this Christening record [url="http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/igi/individual_record.asp?recid=100104478331&lds=1®ion=12®ionfriendly=Norway&juris1=&juris2=&juris3=&juris4=®ionfriendly=&juris1friendly=&juris2friendly=&juris3friendly=&juris4friendly="]Click Here[/url] for Bernhard and here is Pauline [url="http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/igi/individual_record.asp?recid=100088182400&lds=1®ion=12®ionfriendly=Norway&juris1=&juris2=&juris3=&juris4=®ionfriendly=&juris1friendly=&juris2friendly=&juris3friendly=&juris4friendly="]Click Here [/url] and Anna [url="http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/igi/individual_record.asp?recid=100010834645&lds=1®ion=12®ionfriendly=Norway&juris1=&juris2=&juris3=&juris4=®ionfriendly=&juris1friendly=&juris2friendly=&juris3friendly=&juris4friendly="]Click Here[/url] Carla
PaminWAI think you all helped crack this nut open for further inspection. I think Martin is correct and not Peder as originally thought. Dianne, my relative thinks you did find the correct family. Thanks so much. Thanks Brining for your further info as well. This really is terrific!
kaare nMartins birth? http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=0220daap&gardpostnr=6252&merk=6252#ovre Number 6252 Then it is his father and mother living vwth them 1865. And his brothers.
PaminWAI think you are correct, kaare n. Thanks so much for this, too. By the way, does anyone know what "Solberg" means in the 1865 census where it says last name is Peders. Solberg. Is Solberg a second last name?
HopkinsYou are probably looking at a "farm name". Someone being identified by his 'address' - very very common. http://www.norwayheritage.com/articles/templates/genealogy.asp?articleid=2&zoneid=2
