I have an ancestor who emigrated from Norway in 1886 with the notation "dimitt straff" on his passenger record. I am told that this means discharged prisoner. I do not know why he was in prison but since he was fathering children at regular intervals, I assume that he was not in prison for a long period of time. Can someone tell me why this note would have been put on the passenger record. Did Norway coerce people into emigrating as a condition of release from prison? If he had completed his prison term, why would it be necessary to include this note on his record? If Norway was forcing prisoners to emigrate, were they doing that to all prisoners or just those convicted of certain crimes? Was the prisoner not allowed to take his family with him? My ancestor emigrated in April and his wife and children followed 5 months later. Any information on this subject would really be appreciated. Karen

We arrived back in Trondheim on Monday, May 26 about 11:45 from Sweden. Yes, we did arrive back in Trondheim. Seemed like we were back home again. First thing we did was get something to eat at the cafe at the Central Station. Then Sonja talked me into walking to the Jarlen in Trondheim. All I can say is that it was a long long walk with all the luggage and I will not do it again, Sonja ever!! We got to the Jarlen and were hoping to meet up with Kris right away. Our room would not be ready till 3 PM so we left our luggage and started walking the city. We came back about 3 and met up with Kris. It was lots of fun to see her again. She sounded like she had some interesting experiences all over Norway. Sonja decided she wanted something American to eat that evening, so we asked the desk clerk about Pizza. He said Napoli's had the best Italian Pizza and Peppe's had those big American Pizza's. We decided on Peppe's and beer for supper. We also had gone to a grocery store and bought some stuff for breakfast. Kris boiled potatoes for frying in the morning. We also got eggs and ham. Had a good old fashioned American breakfast with lots of coffee left by whoever had the room before us. At a little before 9, Birger Moksnes came and picked us up for our adventure of the day. (Birger is a 4th cousin to the hubby, Lyle). It also was Kris' birthday!! We looked at each day as an adventure and relished all of it. He took us to the Værnes Church. It was very beautiful and scenic. We especially enjoyed the stories that the people in Norway told us while visiting special places. After the Church, we motored up to the Skulbørstad Farm to visit where Sonja's gggrandmother came from. It was a very beautiful spot. Birger had been there earlier this year to see if we could visit when we came, not knowing he was related also to the people who still lived on the farm. Olaug Skulbørstad invited us in. Soon came her brother in law Olaf and his wife Sigrid. A short time later came Tor Skulbørstad, son to Olaug. What an enjoyable visit we had. We also sang "Happy Birthday" to Kris. When we left Skulbørstad, we went downtown to the local Newspaper and met Martin Haugen, yet another relative of Sonja's, Tor's and Birger's. A picture was taken and information exchanged. Then Birger took us to Lerfald in Hegra to see the rock carvings. It was very beautiful and the rain fell on and off with the sun also shining. On the way to Birger's home for supper, we drove by Romo, another farm that Sonja's ancestor's came from. We had a good visit with Birger, his wife Kjellaug and their son Martin. Also a great meal was served. (Like to die for!!) The Food of Norway I will miss. After awhile, we went off to Torunn Bakke's for dessert and a visit. She lives in Hell, Norway with her four children. When we got to her home, Thor Erik Johansen was there also (He is on the Trondelag list also). It was so much fun to visit the people and their families that we only speak with online. Makes life and the world come much more alive. One of my most special remembrances of the whole trip will be all the Trondelag and Norway list members who were so kind to us all while in Norway. You gave me faith again in our fellow men and women across the world. After our dessert at Torunn's and a long visit and pictures, Birger took us back to Trondheim, this was an experience in itself, it was still daylight. Something I will never get use to at 11 pm or 23:00 at night. We thank you Birger for the time you took to show us Norway as you know it in Stjordal area of Norway. It was like Endre took the time with his daughter Monica to show us Roros and all the area in between. The next morning, we got up early to go to Nidaros Church. We saw they had tours every hour. Well, when we got there, yes they give them every hour, but the English Tour (for us American's) was given at 1 pm. So, we bought our tickets and walked around for a few hours, had great coffee and pastry at a really good restaurant that I do not remember the name of, but it was just behing the Royal Palace or Home in Trondheim for the Royal Family. We dallied along and took lots of pictures of the cemeteries and the Nidaros Church. The tour was great, the lady giving it was doing her first English Translation tour of the Church, and she did a very good job of it. There are no words to describe the Nidaros Church, you just have to see it all, to understand it. It has been there like forever in Trondheim. I know that my relatives were there also and attended Church there, as I know where they lived at that time in Trondheim and what they did 200 years ago. They did not allow pictures or videotaping, so don't even ask. I guess that is something we all need to respect as Sonja and I did all over Norway. When we left Nidaros, we went down to take the tour to Muncholmen Island, (I may have it spelled wrong). When we got there, we had just missed the 2 pm /14:00 trip, so we sat, and I ate again as usual. Kris decided she did not wish to go on the trip, so Sonja and I waited till about 2:45 and boarded the boat for the trip. It was a trip that we both very much enjoyed. I videotaped it all for the hubby. When we got to the island, we got off and videotaped some more. Then of course, it was time to eat. I ordered a beer, and Sonja had a Coke and what she thought was Carrot Cake with Creamed Cheese frosting, not so. It was a butter frosting. I guess you could say it was like when I ordered what I thought was a apple turnover the next day on the train............it was spinach. A rude awakening, and I ate it all. :-)) We went back to our hotel after some shopping with Kris at some shops. She was going on the over night train to Oslo, we decided to stay in Trondheim and get a good nights rest. The next morning, we ordered a taxi, as there was "no way in hell" I was going to haul all my luggage back to the Central Station. When we got to the station, we hauled all our luggage down the ramps for about the 3rd time, THEN we noticed they had elevators. ;-) The trip to Oslo was great, I sat in the smoking car, which was right behind the engine part of the time while on the train and videotaped. Was a lucky choice, as I videotaped a moose (in America) running along side the train. Then all of a sudden, there was a bunch of noise and the purser came over the loudspeakers and told us that the train had hit a moose. Yup, I got it all on tape. The rest of the trip was uneventful, except for the beautiful scenery of Norway and the Gudbrandsdal Valley and Lake Mjosa. It is something that no one can describe and one has to view for themselves. When we got into Oslo, we took a taxi to what we thought was our destination. Much money and time later, we finally got to our destination. :-) That evening, we met with Gunhild and Egil Øyangen again and had a great visit. Kris was off to visit her relative from Ostfold. After our visit with Gunhild and Egil, we decided we had not videotaped the Palace and Oslo, so we went on down the hill and did some videotaping again for the hubby (after all, he paid for our trip) :-). The next morning, we were all up early and ready to head for the airport. We got on the train and ended up in 1st class. The purser said that was fine as long as we got off at the airport. Needless to say, the trip ended up too soon, and we shall miss all the people who took the time to meet us while we were in Norway. We enjoyed the welcome in Oslo to the departure in Oslo and all in between. You are all very special people. Thank you very much all of Norway for your hospitality, we will be back one day, and if those we have met along the way wish to come to America, we will welcome them with our hearts to our homes as they have welcomed us to their homes and hearts in Norway from all area's. Mange takk............ Margit & Sonja

When we were dropped off at the Central Station in Trondheim for our adventure to Sweden, we wondered what kind of accomodations we would have for the overnight trip from Storlien to Gotteborg. We got on the train at 16:17 and traveled to Storlien. There it was raining and cold. We jumped on the train that looked like it was going the right way and tried to find our sleeping car. Being the American I am and not much knowledge about the language, I thought I best ask some questions of the purser. I showed him our tickets and asked if we were on the right train, he proceeded to say, "That train left 10 minutes ago......." Then all started laughing in the Bar car that were observing our conversation. I went back to let Sonja know that indeed we were headed in the right direction. We found our 3 person sleeper room and decided to check out everything as this was a new experience for both of us. We videotaped the room and then took the key for the Shower room and videotaped that also (for the hubby). I decided that it was time for a cool one, so went down to the Bar Car and found a Heineken. When I got back, Sonja was outside our room with a roll of duct tape she had brought with, taping up a door that the latch did not work on. It was banging and making much noise. We decided we needed to videotape that also. :-)) Later that evening a Swedish lady named Marit joined us in our car, she was very helpful as to what the purser was saying as he never repeated it in English like they did in Norway. We had a restful night and arrived in Gotteborg about 8:30 the next day. We were picked up by Ann Viking Saetre and Britt-Marie Blixt. We were taken on a tour of the city and then off to Taberg, about 2 hours north and east. We of course had to eat right away a big meal which was really good. That evening we had a tour of Taberg and Johnkoping areas. The next day we were off to Varnamo area. We visited with relatives and had a great meal and visit on a private estate and a tour of the grounds. On Saturday we were treated to a Swedish Smorgasboard of food that did not end. :-)) Eat......eat..........eat! Sunday we awoke to more food, then a trip to Varnamo and a tour of the city and the park. It was very interesting for us. Later that day, we left for Johnkoping, for the train station. We caught the overnight train for our trip back to Norway. This time our accomodations were in a 6 person sleeper. The purser came to check our tickets and told us we would be the only ones in the sleeper that evening. This sleeper was much different then the last one we had slept in. It was straight out of the 1950's. No shower on this trip! We made a video about the train trip for the hubby. :-)) We arrived back in Trondheim on Monday, May 26 about 11:45. To be continued............ Margit & Sonja

Hei all, We had a great trip to Norway. Sonja and I spent the first 3 days with Kris McCrea in Oslo. Had fun visiting with Egil and Gunhild Øyangen in Oslo. (I also got a terrible red rash and was sick the first couple of days :-)) We also had an evening meal with Anne Hildrum. Anne was very helpful in helping me with train reservations and schedules in Norway. (Here on the farm we call it supper, but we were told in Norway that supper is like garbage, at many places we went to :-)) On Sunday the three of us took the train to Flåm, Norway. The scenery was beautiful. We went from Spring in Oslo to Winter in Myrdal and back to Spring again in Flåm. On Monday, we went our separate ways. Sonja and I went north to Øyer and Lillehammer area to visit with the hubby's relatives. It rained most of the time, but we had lots of fun anyway. First stop was the Ringsaker Church where a cousin of Lyle's is the minister. We had a wonderful meal about 11 am, then we got a great tour of the Church from top to bottom. About 3 pm we got served another great meal. Then off to Øyer to visit some more relatives. We also viewed the Hasli and Aspehaug Farms where Sonja's gggrandmother grew up and lived. We stayed with relatives there overnight and had another huge meal at 7 pm. We also spent time in the barn with the new lambs that were just born. In the morning we were served a great breakfast and went off to Lillehammer to catch the train to Hell. Our first trip there. Terje Erik Garberg picked us up there and took us to Tydal, where some of my family came from. We stayed with Johanna Marie Østby and were served more food. :-)) In the morning, we were treated to a tour of the Tydal area and some of the farms that my family came from. We also had a tour of the Tydal Museum. Later that day, we were picked up by Terje Erik and taken to his house in Selbu. There we met Marlyn and Shirley from the Trondelag list. We had a great couple of days in Selbu. We should have had our picture in the Selbu newspaper, if Brynjar had film in his camera?? Terje Erik took us on a tour of the Selbu Church. Per Magne from the Tommerdalen's took us on a tour of the Museum and also where the sweaters and knitted stuff is made in Selbu. We were treated to lunch at his house and a musical program by Brynjar Dahlo (Also a member of the Tommerdalen's) on his accordian. From Selbu, a cousin picked us up and took us to Roros for the weekend. We got a tour of the NEA radio station from Tore Ostby. We also visited his wife and family in their home. On the 17th of May, we watched the program in Roros and taped it all. We also marched in the parade and waved Norwegian flags. Then we met with more family and went for a Buffet at a local place. All the great foods of the area were offered and I think I tried most of them. On Sunday we headed towards Aalen and Haltdalen. Was a beautiful trip and I taped it all. We stopped at the Storli Farm and visited with Wenche Tamlagsronning and her daughter. It was beautiful to see, I had read about the place for years and the view was out of this world. The monument honoring Jonas Lie was also something to see at the farm. From there we went to Nordpa at Aunegrenda and had a reindeer dinner. Was really exciting for me. I was in home territory. I could view what I had only envisioned all these years in my office here in Flom. :-)) This trip was for my father, he came from the Roros, Aalen, Haltdalen and Tydal areas of Norway. He always wanted to know where he came from, I just wish he would have been here to go with me on the trip. We met lots of family and had dessert at the Nysetvoll (Nysetvold) Farm with Sigurd and Bjorg Nysetvoll and their daughter Marit and other extended family members. It was something special to see the writing desk that my gggrandfather sat at and wrote, also his chest with his name on and his clock. Made everything come alive for me. Everyone was so nice and great to visit with, even if we did not understand all they said. Someone was always willing to translate. On the way back to Roros, we stopped in Haltdalen at the Church. Got to see my tip tip's gravesite and his marker. A gggrandaughter bought a permanent marker and put on his grave instead of the old iron crosses they use to use. On Monday morning, Endre Holden and his daughter Monica picked us up. We got to see their Summer Cabin in the mountains at Roros. What a beautiful site. I could easily spend time there, as long as I had my computer....:-)). They then took us into Roros and we toured the Church and the Copper Mines. We also stopped and had waffles at a small cafe. I could spend days in that area of Norway and not be bored at all. When we left Roros, we headed towards Trondheim and Endre's home. The scenery was so beautiful I can not explain it. Both Endre and Monica were very good at explaining things to us. When we got to Trondheim, they took us by the ski jump, there was still some snow left at the bottom. Then we went to Endre and Greta's home and got to visit with the rest of the family and have a great meal. The daylight all night was difficult to get use to. Seemed like we never got tired. The next morning Monica took us on a tour of Trondheim. One thing I especially liked was the beach. It was very beautiful and peaceful at the same time. She was excellent at explaining things that we had questions about. We then went on to the round tower restaurant and had lunch. Lyle should enjoy that, we just set the video camera on the table and let him view Trondheim as we did while enjoying an excellent lunch. After lunch, we met up with Turid, a friend of mine from a few years ago and went to her house. It was much fun to visit with her family and her father. Turid and her father, Asbjorn stayed at our home in 2000. I hope they can someday come again. We had great food there and sweets that are so good. In the morning, she took us to Sverresborg and we got to take a tour through the area before leaving on the train for southern Sweden to visit more relatives who have roots in Norway and because of economic conditions, moved to Sweden in the 1940's. To be continued............. Margit and Sonja

She married my Grandfather - I think your folks are shown below here in the 1875 census in Oslo (Kristiania at that time) Norway. Adele`s father -Carl Fred- is a widower at that time. His birthplace is though mentioned as Kristiania (Oslo) The surname Køkeritz is definately not nowegian. I assume some of his anscestors were coming from Preussia or another German state. These are the only Køkeritz I found in the 1865 and 1875 census (The 1875 census is not nationwide.) http://snurl.com/1jcb The 1865 census Vestre-Aker (These days situated in Oslo) Adele`s mother here named Augusta. http://snurl.com/1jcg Geir Eide

I find this also if it helps: <http://home.online.no/~jsoraa/carlstad.htm> <http://home.online.no/~jsoraa/carlstad.htm#k%F8ker> Løkken Køkeritz John Søraa I 1857 overdro F.G. Gade, daværende eier av Frogner hovedgård, et område på ca. 17 mål til kjøpmann Carl Køkeritz. Det utstykkete jordstykket lå i den nordøstlige delen av gården (Bogstadveien - Prof. Dahls gate ­ Majorstuveien ­ Hjelms gate). I de kommende årene utparselerte Køkeritz flere tomter, bl.a. til garvemester Hallén og Chr. Omejer, mens han selv beholdt et areale på ca. 12 mål som fikk navnet Køkeritzløkken. Hovedbygningen satte han opp der Bogstadveien 12 ligger. På den nedre delen ble det anlagt et herskapelig parkanlegg med Køkeritzdammen som den store attraksjonen. Parken var et idyllisk lyststed omkranset av trær, duftende prydbusker, blomster og benker spredt omkring. På vinterstid benyttet ungene dammen til skøytebane, og om sommeren fungerte den som distriktets vannreservoar inntil vannledningen fra Sognsbekkenvar ferdig. Dammens utløp var en liten bekk som sildret ned mellom Oscars gate og Josefinegaten og endte nede i Munkedammen, en av de eldste løkkene i bymarka. I 1871 ble eiendommen overdratt til konsul Winge som satt med den i ett års tid før han solgte den videre. Noen år senere ble eiendommen tatt i bruk av Jespersens Vedbolag frem til Christiania kommunen overtok den rundt 1880 i forbindelse med opparbeidelsen av Eilert Sundts gate og Holtegaten. Dammen ble fylt igjen, busker og trær hugget ned, og parken forvandlet til anleggsområde. I løpet av 80-årene reiste den ene leiegården seg etter den andre og innen år 1900 var løkka bebygd, uten et eneste grøntanlegg som minnet om idylliske parken. Men innen parken ble fylt igjen rakk den å volde en uopprettelig skade. Under slokningsarbeidet av brannen i Balkeby 1879 viste det seg at vanntrykket i den nye vannledningen var for svakt og brannfolkene måtte derfor ta vann fra Køkeritzdammen. Vannet var imidlertid så grumsete at det ødela pumpen til vannsprøyta, noe som førte til at Peder Balkes livsverk ble lagt i aske og 42 hus brant ned. >>> My name is Bruce Huffine and I am trying to trace my mother's mother >> family >>> line. > >>> Here is what I do know.

My name is Bruce Huffine and I am trying to trace my mother's mother family line. I do not know a great deal about grandmother as she died in 1945 when I was six and there is no family alive that I know of who can provide additional information for me. Here is what I do know. Her name was Adele Von Kokeritz - there was an umlaut over the O. She was born in Norway. She married my Grandfather - Dr. Richard Baddour in approximately 1902 in Brooklyn, NY. My mother was born in 1903. Based on these facts, I estimate that grandmother was born in 1870-1880. She had a brother Reinhold who lived in Staten Island, NY and another brother Carl, O. who lived in Mount Vernon, NY. Carl had a son, Carl Jr who fought in WWI Census info for both Reinhold and Carl Sr. state that their mother was Norwegan and father German hence the Prussian sounding Von Kokeritz surname. The Ellis Island web site shows that Both Carl and Reinhold making frequent entries in to the USA. They were listed a US citizens. I can find no record of their original entry as aliens. Ellis Island does list Grandmother re-entering the country in 1908 under her married name of Adele Baddour. She was accompanied by my mother who was 4 at the time. The manifest lists her nationality as Norwegan with her home as Olso. My supposition is she went "Home" to visit her family and brought her daughter to meet them Grandmother was divorced in approximately 1909-1910 and remarried Viggo Jensen who was a Dane. Viggo represented Denmark in the 1896 and 1900 Olympics and won several metals. Anything you might know about the Von Kokeritz family and could share with me would be greatly appreciated. I would also appreciate suggestions as to where I should continue my search. Many thanks Bruce Huffine Stamford, CT 203-329-0511

Hi, I was born in the U.S. and since then, I've grown up with my mother (not on the Rekve side). I lost contact with my father, and I want to find out as much as I can about my family heritage, both mother's and father's sides. Anyone who is a Rekve, or knows a good database of Norwegian genealogy, please post a reply and let me know whatever you can.

Er det noen der ute som vet noe om dette: En svensk prinsesse giftet seg med en skomaker med navn Peterson ( Petterson, Pettersson) eller kanskje Evaldson. Og som det står i forespørselen: She was disowned for marrying a commoner. De fikk blandt annet disse barna: Evald Peterson gift med Patrice Anderson Carl Elget ( mye mulig at det er stavet feil.) Hildegard Evald Peterson var 8 år når han kom til Amerika med sine foreldre. Prøver å hjelpe barnebarnet til Evald Peterson med å finne ut hva den svenske prinsessen het og hvem hun var datter til. Håper på hjelp. Takk.
