It seems that Elen Hansdatter was married to Guttorm Torgersen 08.12.1835 Hurum.

This is Svelvik or Strømm (Strømmen) near Drammen. I think that you will find Jens here in 1865: http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/WebCens.exe?slag=hentglobal&register=etternavn&pgj=124&teljing=ft1865&filnamn=f60701.wc2&amt=7&funnenr=346 There is also his mother, Elen Hansdatter, widow, 61 years old, born in Hurum.

Can anyone tell me anything about a family that left Selvik or Strommen Vestfold Norway on 06 Mar 1887 via the Angelo of the Helgesen line. I can find where father and I think seven children left on that date. Father is listed as a widower but youngest child is only 8 mo old so the loss of his wife must have been fairly recent. Here is what I have: I found a record with Jens Andreas Guttormsen's marriage to Ella Halvorsdr on 15 Dec 1872 in Strommen, Vestfold, Norway. The names and date are a good possibility for the family I am looking for. ( On Hilda's Social Security Application she gives her mothers name as Ellen Halvorson and says that she died before the family came to the US. ) There was a widower who left Norway with up to 7 children c 1887. His name (as I can find it) was Jens Guttormsen (May have been Jens Andreas Guttormsen of Vestfold, Norway). The four daughters I knew: Jensine Annette (b. 09/13/1874), Grew to adult and married John Fossum, had two children Earl and Pearl Hilda Katrina (08/18/1876), Grew to adult and married (1) can't remember (2) Rohde, had two children Anna Theodora (12/12/1884), Grew to adult and married Lars Christian Goskesen, had four children Thora or Tora (nmn) (10/24/1881). Grew to adult and married C. Meland, had two sons These are the ones I knew about as they survived to adulthood. I assume the birthdates are correct as that is how they listed them. One listed I can find nothing on: Hildor born about 1880 And there are two buried within the year of their arrival in Minnesota with names of Gusta Eljonora (d. 09/15/1887) Haldor (nmn)(d. 08/25/1887). I had partial records at one time that there was an Andreas, but did not find him in Minnesota so he possibly died before the family came over. If anyone has access to records in Strommen (where is that anyway?) or Selvik (this is what is listed as residence on the ships roster) I would be very appreciative of any assistance. The family shows up on \"Emigrants sailing from Kristiania 1871-1930\" as sailing 03.06.1887 on the Helgesen Angelo. The listings have numbers 95545-95552. Names are listed as: Jens Guttorms. (48 m e), Gunhild Guttorms.(20 k), Jensine Guttorms.(12 k), Gusta Guttorms.(10 k), Hildor Guttorms.(7 m), Thora Guttorms.(5 k), Anna Guttorms(2 k), and Haldor Guttorms. (8mo m). They are listed as having resided in Svelvig and heading for Ada Minnesota, which is where they ended up. I would love to nail this down while my father is alive, he will be 80 next year. His mother (Anna Theodora) was 45 when he was born and he never knew very much about her family.

I found a reference to the place name Thronjem. Any idea where this is? This is the birthplace of someone living around 1900 in Norway. -bob

Hi Jack, Are you talking about Archivalieronline where the Danes post census and church images - http://www.arkivalieronline.dk/?

Took a quick look at it - didn't find a way to read it in English. Is there a way of searching an English version?

Try and post a query here : http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/WebDebatt.exe?slag=listtema&debatt=brukar&spraak=e You'll touch more Norwegians. I'm pretty sure it's either Skodtgaard or Skotgaard, the names were written in various manners at that time. But it's not the part of Norway I'm acquainted with.

I don't have the original record. My wife's cousin, who lives in Norway, told me he copied it from a church record.

Hi John! It is a tax, at first paid in kind, later in money.

Can someone give me a definition of the word "gjengjerd"? It is used as a part of a title in a list, Hedemarkens gjengjerd 1514, and I can't find it in my home dictionary nor those on the Internet. Thanks much, John

Skottsgaard was found in Martin's obituary... the information must have been supplied by his wife Helga who met Martin in North Dakota. So the information may very well be incorrectly given by Helga. Also the parents names would have been supplied by Helga for his obituary. Martin & Helga named their children: Harry Morris Thompson Lillian Therece Thompson Esther Sylvia Thompson Myrtle Hazel Thompson Ayle Dora Thompson Martin Ray Thompson None of these names appear in Helga's family line Perhaps in Martins line somewhere.

The > birth year for Martin Thompson is > between 1855 - 1860 depending on what document or census record you are > looking at. > > I tried the 1860 census for a farm named Skottsgaard but did not find one > ... I also tried for a Thorsden Thompson but did not located the name > either.... Any ideas? There's a Skodtgaard on Röraas, Sör-Tröndelag, but I can't find any Martin there. In Agerö, Möre and Romsdal there's Skotgaard, but can't find any Martin there either. There's also a Skovgaard, Strinden S. Tröndelag, where I find a Hans and his brother Laurits Martin, but their father is called Lars, so that can't be right either. Kjellaug P.
