Looking for Antonette Tovsen
sissel scearsANTONETTE T(H)OVSEN emigrated from Tonsberg to New york on 6.may.1891. She lived for many years in Long Island NY, - and created a name for herself as a writer of novels and short stories, and was published in "The Decorah Post" among others. She died in Long Island 19.nov.1942, - and I would love to hear if anybody know anything about her, - her family? - her work etc? Can anyone help?
jwiborgHi, I have never heard of her myself, but [url="http://www.nb.no/emigrasjon/emigration/biblio/bib.html"] here[/url] is a link I found on Google, listing bibliography of norwegian-american literature. Antonette Tovsen is mentioned with the list below. In addition, "Ruth Fjeldsaa" published "Antonette Tovsen död." (="Antonette Tovsen dead") in The Decorah Post on 11-Feb-1943. This looks to be the work of A.T.: Tovsen, Antonette. 1920. "Blaaveis." DP 30 Nov.-7 Dec. (SF) - . 1923. "Herdis." DP 6 March-24 April. (SF) - . 1923. "For tidlig ude." DP 18 Dec. (S) - . 1925.

corrine49Hi, I believe you are inquiring of my mother's grandmother. How do you know her? I have been trying to piece together a family history. I would appreciate anything you can tell me. jane
Jo Anne SadlerMore information would be helpful, her date of birth, a link to the emigration record, was she married, etc.
HopkinsThe 1910 US census shows an unmarried Antonette C. Tovsen living in the household of her brother-in-law, Andreas Stromsoe (wife's name Emilie), in Brooklyn, Kings Co., New York. She is listed as being 30+ years old (cannot clearly read this entry - might be 34?) and she is listed with the occupation of saleswoman in a drug store (her brother-in-law is a pharmacist in a drug store). Source: National Archives Microfilm Series: T624 Roll: 961 Page: 96. If there was an obituary published in the Decorah Posten - perhaps that would be included in the Rowberg Files?
