I am looking for Hans Haakenson family information. Hans was born in Nittedahl, Norway. Son of Haakon Haakenson and Maren Evenson. Maren was born around 1814-1815. Haakon Haakenson was laid to rest in the Nittedahl Kirkes cemetery.
Hans later lived in Oslo near the Vaterlands Bro (bridge). He married Mathia Larson,(second wife). They and their family moved to the USA in 1903 arriving at Ellis Island, NY and settling at Granite Falls, Minnesota near his brother, Andreas.
Hans' other brother Martin remained in Oslo Norway, and his sister Ellen, also born in Nittedahl, remained in Norway and maried Karelius Olson. They had a large family.
I think Hans' baptism may have been at a large church in Oslo he died in 1926 in Sioux City Iowa. He was buried in Granite Falls.
I will try to get additional in formation to you in another post.
Thank you for any assistance you can give me.
