John Jacobsen's birth record. http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=8518&idx_id=8518&uid=ny&idx_side=-97 John Jacobsen's confirmation record. http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=1093&idx_id=1093&uid=ny&idx_side=-212 Would like to know if you think this is the same person. I have found a John Jacobsen on the 1865 census (Hole, record 965, age 38.) I think his occupation is a shoemaker. My dictionary doesn't have all of the words needed to translate the remarks, but I think maybe he was a boarder. At this time he is unmarried. I have not had much luck finding him on the 1875 census, so I am not sure if he passed away or immigrated. My gggrandfather Jacob Andersen, who is John's 1/2 brother immigrated to the US in 1872 and I am not sure if John and Jacob were close brothers. Their mother was Mari Johnsdatter, John's father Jacob Tronsen must have passed away sometime between the time John was born in 1831 and the time Jacob was born in 1836. Possibly 1832. Jacob has a different father and was illegitimate. Again any assistance would be truly grateful. Leta
