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: Name: Karen Sofie Gulbrandsdatter Gender: Female Christening date: 25 Apr 1859 Christening place: Oslo, Oslo, Norway Residence: Oslo, Oslo, Norway Birthdate: 04 Feb 1859 Mother's name: Johanne Amundsdatter Name: Anne Matea Gulbrandsdatter Gender: Female Christening date: 20 Jun 1852 Christening place: Oslo, Oslo, Norway Residence: Oslo, Oslo, Norway Birthdate: 16 Mar 1852 Father's name: Gulbrand Olsen Mother's name: Johanne Amundsdatter Name: Carl Gunerius Gulbrandsen Gender: Male Christening date: 22 Jul 1866 Christening place: GRONLAND MENIGHET, OSLO, AKERSHUS, NORWAY Residence: Oslo, Akershus, Norway Birthdate: 19 May 1866 Father's name: Gulbrand Olsen Mother's name: Johanne Amundsdatter Name: Johan Fransis Gulbrandsen Gender: Male Christening date: 26 Dec 1863 Christening place: GRONLAND MENIGHET, OSLO, AKERSHUS, NORWAY Residence: Oslo, Akershus, Norway Birthdate: 26 Aug 1863 Father's name: Gulbrand Olsen Mother's name: Johanne Amundsdr Thank you in advance!
