Hi Listers, I am an Australian, looking for information about a 1C2R called Rasmus Hansen Albertsen. He was a Dane, from the island of Ærø ... and I have just found him arriving in Castle Garden: *** Name: Rasmus Albertsen Arrival Date: 14 May 1888 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1864 Age: 24 Gender: Male Port of Departure: Hamburg, Germany Destination: Franzisko Place of Origin: Denmark Ship Name: Sorrento Port of Arrival: New York Line: 24 Microfilm Serial: M237 *** Sparked my interest, because I have a photo taken at Cramer's California Gallery, 402 Kearny St., cor Pine, San Francisco ... which I now believe would be Rasmus and his young wife, perhaps1890. Rasmus's exact birth date is 24 Oct 1863. (Other possibility is that it is his 22-year-old brother Lars/Lauritz Albertsen, who was on the same vessel). BTW, Parents of the migrating sons are Albert Albertsen (1824-1881) and Agnes Hedvig Caspersen ... (1829-1910). (Albert Albertsen was my Australian great-grandfather's eldest brother). Help, anyone? It would be great, if I could add some American cousins to my tree :-) Greetings from Oz, Lesley (Melbourne, Australia ... *cold* here today, after a spate of heat and bushfires)

Hi Lesley, The 1900 census has the following two living together in Contra Costa County, CA; ALBERTSEN Rasmus; age 38; single; born Oct 1861 Denmark; immig 1888; carpenter. ALBERTSEN Hans; age 28; single; born May 1872 Denmark; immig1889; house painter MeLani (I can send you the image if you'd like) =Hi Listers, =I am an Australian, looking for information about a 1C2R called Rasmus =Hansen Albertsen. =He was a Dane, from the island of Ærø ... and I have just found him =arriving in Castle Garden: =Name: Rasmus Albertsen =Arrival Date: 14 May 1888 =Estimated Birth Year: abt 1864 =Age: 24 =Gender: Male =Port of Departure: Hamburg, Germany =Destination: Franzisko =Place of Origin: Denmark =Ship Name: Sorrento =Port of Arrival: New York =Line: 24 =Microfilm Serial: M237 =Sparked my interest, because I have a photo taken at Cramer's =California Gallery, 402 Kearny St., cor Pine, San Francisco =... which I =now believe would be Rasmus and his young wife, perhaps1890. =Rasmus's exact birth date is 24 Oct 1863. =(Other possibility is that it is his 22-year-old brother =Lars/Lauritz =Albertsen, who was on the same vessel). =BTW, Parents of the migrating sons are Albert Albertsen =(1824-1881) and =Agnes Hedvig Caspersen ...

Hi MeLani, > The 1900 census has the following two living together in Contra Costa > County, CA; > ALBERTSEN Rasmus; age 38; single; born Oct 1861 Denmark; immig 1888; > carpenter. > ALBERTSEN Hans; age 28; single; born May 1872 Denmark; immig1889; house > painter > Golly! Yes, I think that those two would be mine :-)) Age is not quite right for Rasmus - but there was another brother, Hans Andersen Albertsen b. 4 May 1871 in Dunkær, Rise (Svendborg). Father Albert Albertsen was a joiner ... so, stands to reason that his sons would be following those trades. > (I can send you the image if you'd like) > Many thanks - I would *love* to have that :-)) BTW, looks now as though it was not Rasmus in the wedding photo ... but, I will take one step at a time.
