Hello,
I would greatly appreciate information/transcribing assistance pertaining to Martin Olsen Kjus (b. 22 Oct 1855) and family.
Here is the information that I have:
A kind gentlemen has helped me find his birth record (No. 5). Born in Oslo Hospital/Gamlebyen, Oslo. He was baptized at Galme Aker church in Oslo, Oslo, Norway. Upon researching, I see that the "Dets forældres fulde Navn, borgerlige Stilling og Opholdssted" column is to list occupation and residence along with parental names. Gronland was the residence? Are their occupations here; before the names? I can't make it out. I also can't decipher the grandparents names. Dorthea ?, Halvor Christophersen, Gulbrand Olsen and Erik Halvorsen. I cannot read the first name.
What I think is Martin's parents marriage record:
Groom's name: Gulbrand Olsen
Groom's birthdate: 1813
Groom's birthplace: Kjus
Groom's age in years: 28
Bride's name: Johane Amundsdr
Bride's birthdate: 1810
Bride's birthplace: Kjus
Bride's age in years: 31
Marriage date: 01 Jun 1841
Residence: Skedsmo, Akershus, Norway
Marriage place: Skedsmo, Akershus, Norway
Father of groom's name: Ole Nielsen
Father of bride's name: Amund Christensen
I am not sure that this is correct though. Is it? The names of the parents within this record allow me to question its accuracy.
The family is in the 1865 census. I've also have the following LDS records:
1865 Norwegian Census, Kristiania, 0301. Street name: Filsberget. Street Number: 6. Part of Town: Grønlands Menighed. Farm Owner: Sevrine Nikolaisen. Total Apartments: 10.
Gulbrand Olsen, Husband, Married, Land Worker, Born 1814 in Skedsmo
Johanne Amundsdatter, Wife, Married, No occupation, Born 1818 in Fedt.
Martin Gulbrandsen, Son, Born 1855 in Kristiania.
Johan Gulbrandsen, Son, Born 1863 in Kristiania.
Mathea Gulbrandsdatter, Daughter, Born 1852 in Kristiania.
Karen Gulbrandsdatter, Daughter, born 1858 in Kristiania.
1875 Norwegian Census, Kristinia, 0301. Street Name: Filsberget. Street Number: 6. Number of Apartments: 9.
Gulbrand Olsen, hf, g, Tomtaerbeider, daglonner, 1811, Skedsmo
Johanne Amundsdatter, hm, g, 1815, Fet Sog
Martin Olsen, s, ug, korkeskjaerer, 1855, Enerhougen, Charnia
Karen Olsen, d, ug, I tjeneste, 1858, Enerhougen, Charnia
Johan Olsen, s, 1862, Enerhougen, Charnia
Carl Olsen, s, 1866, Enerhougen, Charnia
Where is "Enerhougen, Charnia"? What does "I tjeneste" mean? Servant?
According to US census records, he immigrated to the US (Traill, Dakota Territory) in 1878-1879. Is there documentation on the Norwegian side saying so? I have further questions regarding immigration, but would like to know if it's okay to post on that subject in this particular forum.
I would not only like to find the names of Martin's grandparents, but I would also like to know if there is any further information regarding Martin's siblings. Did any marry in Norway? Here are their baptism (LDS) records:
