My Maternal Great Grand Father, Carl Fred Kokeritz, was listed in the census of 1865 as living in Oslo and be a Norgean national. His complete last name was Von Kokeritz which is definitely NOT a Norgean name. USA census records for two sons both indicate that their mother was born in Norway and father was born in Germany which implies that Carl moved to Norway from Germany and became a Norwegan citizen. Are there archival resources in Norway which have the paperwork which was generated by GGF becoming a Norgean Citizen? One last question. The census for 1865 has a column listing of Yrke under which GGF has Kjobmand listed. What does Kjobmand mean? Many Thanks Bruce Huffine Stamford, CT USA

Most of them have in common that their father's given name was John. Plus: There are numerous stories - some of them might even be true - that immigrants to the US changed their names into Johnson, even though their real names were someting different, because it was an easy name to spell and pronounce for English speakers. Good luck! Ingrid

The recently published family history "Mämmälän kylän talot ja suvut" (Farms and families of Mämmälä village) by Veli Häkkinen and myself contains a land-holding history of Mämmälä village of Sippola parish, Kymi county, Viipuri province, Finland, as well as genealogical information, organized in 400 family groups, of villagers who resided at one of the farms of the village, namely, Spännäri, Tykkä, Tökkäri (Tökkeri), Juura, Inkeroinen (Ingerois), Sippu, Töttö, Toikka, Aho, or Hohti, between 1543 and 1900. The preface, table of contents, and index of names of the book can be found by following the links "esipuhe", "sisällysluettelo" and "henkilöhakemisto" at <http://koti.mbnet.fi/velhak/esite.htm>.

There were eight other passengers who left Bergen with Ludvig on March 25, 1901. Two of them were his paternal uncles Ole and Erik Jetmundsen. Erik was a miner from Alaska, an American citizen. I haven't been able to find any of the nine in Ellis Island records. Do you suppose this bunch went through Quebec, Canada. In 1865 Ludvig's grandfather Gjetmund Monsen and family were living at Høsteland, Lindås, Hordaland; see: <http://www.rhd.uit.no/ftsoek/ftsoek.asp?kommando=bosted&ftaar=1865&spraak=engelsk_britisk&kommnr=1263&kretsnr=0001&bostnr=0043&leilnr=000> Regards, Ed Eide
