I am looking for anyone who might be related to me through my great-grandparents. Their names were Martin Andersen and Anna Andersen (nee Anna Christensen). They came to the United States from Denmark - I have Martin Andersen's certificate of naturalization dated September 26th, 1921; and Anna Christensen Andersen's certificate of citizenship dated May 22nd, 1939. Please email me, especially if you are still living in Denmark. Thank you.

Have you tried Daniel de Rauglaudre's database at http://geneweb.inria.fr/roglo?lang=en . The software in use, GeneWeb, is specialized in relationship and consanguinity computing. You can find more about this here: http://cristal.inria.fr/~ddr/GeneWeb/en/index.html#Par If you search for Carlos II von Habsburg in his database, you will see that he is more inbreeded than if his parents where siblings. He has a consanguinity of 25.35%. If his parents where siblings, and that was the only known inbreed, the consanguinity whould have been 25.00%. The Habsburg dynasty was known for beeing heavyly inbreeded with a lot of marriages between 1. cousins.

I am looking for a Swedish lady who did a lookup for me. I recently changed my ISP (with about a week's difficulty where I was offline) and consequently, I lost her email address. I do not remember her last name or anything else except her first name. We had talked about finding the grave of my greatgrandfather "Carl Oscar Ludwig Lundgren (Nilsson)" who is buried in a cemetery in Oscarhamm Sweden. My address is no longer with Att.Net. It is [email protected] Beverly Horner

Hello! I am searching Rndine Olsdatter Dalseie (Dalsveen), b. 10.14.1820 at Rudshaugen, Biri, Norway. She emigrated as a widow 05.15.1885 to Chicago with her son Martinius Olsen Dalseie, b. ca. 1866. Do anybody know something about her or her son? Her husband was Ole Halvorsen Dalsveen (1821-1876). Hilsen Liv Marit Haakenstad www.genit.no

Hi, I'm looking for my grandmother's father Even Gunnerius Johansen Eggen b, Sept. 22nd 1863 in Strinda or Bjornor (Bjørnør).

Many scholars have for sure that the old nordic societies, and irish and picts, had a lack of incest regulations. I know about some marriages between grandparents and grandaughters, a queen with his son, siblings, etc (sagas, eddas). But my interest is to look after some structure of incest repeated in time, that it's: if it exists one structure of avoiding incest, it may be another structure of incest. Someone there con help me to know genealogies of sagas and eddas? Thak you.

I rechecked, and do not think this is your Hans in the 1930 census. I find a Anders Langaas coming to New York in 1922 from Vaale Norway. This would be the man in the census record.

My belief is that it was not established until about 1936. You may want to verify the date of his death. From the leading three digits or so, the state in which he applied for social security can be identified. Here I'm guessing again, but 080 is probably New York. I looked for Andy Jorgensen in the SS Death Records and it came back with 38 Andrew Jorgensen's. Andy is a nickname for Andrew here. None of these records had the same three leading or four trailing numbers as the SS number you stated. Only one was born in 1907 and he lived in Wisconsin both when he acquired his number and when he died. There were no SS death records for Hans Langaas. Sorry, I couldn't help more.

I agree with Kurt. Only - sund (sound) is also the name for a narrow strait of water, like Øresund (Öresund), Virksund, Svendborgsund, Feggesund just to mention a few here in Denmark. regards Steven "Kurt Fredriksson" <[email protected]> skrev i en meddelelse news:[email protected] > > > > Hi Glenn > > > > One very likely possibility is Sunstrom where "strom" means "stream"" and > is > > simply a translation (i.e. Anglicization) into English.

If you do a lookup on the LDS website that I posted, you will find quite a few "Sunstrom" in Norway & Denmark. I suspect that a telephone search would give similar results. The "Sun" in Sun-strom would have to be a shortening and have the same meaning as "Sund" as I can find no other possible explanation. I believe that his Anglicized "Sunstream" was Sunstrom originally or possibly Sundstrom.

If you break it into syllables it is Sun-strom where sun is a channel or strait or similar and strom is stream. You may find it spelled with a special character such as strøm, for example. The Scandanavian languages are very similar in these regards. Go to: http://www.familysearch.org/ or http://www.ancestry.com/?rc=locale%7E&us=0 and do a lookup on the surname and also consider the variation Sundstrom. You'll see that it was a fairly common name and, who knows, you might find a connection there. HTH Bob

Hi everyone I'm seeking help about the likely spelling of my gg grandfather's name. His marriage certificate and death certificate show his name as Augustus William Sunstream but after arriving in Australia in 1860s he was commonly known as Charles Brown. He worked as a mariner and harbour master in Tasmania.until his death in 1929 Oral history refers to him as "the Dane' although another branch of the family believed him to be Norwegian. It is known that he spoke english with an accent and conversed a language other than english with visiting sea captains. The difficulty I have is determining where he was actually from. The name Sunstream I'm guessing is an anglicisation - but of what? I've seen listings of the name Sunstrem in Denmark which might be a candidate but am unsure of the pronunciation. Does anyone have any thought about likely surnames, especially those that sound phonetically like Sunstream? I'd appreciate any advice Glenn Brown Perth Western Australia

Det er riktig at han står oppført i folketellingen fra 1900 som født på Frosta men dette er sannsynligvis ikke tilfelle. Det finnes utallige historier om ham; bl.a. rodde han på fiske til Lofoten - som så mange andre - men etter sigende kantret han og mannskapet på veg tilbake på veg inn Trondheimsfjorden(?) og han frøs fast på den kantrete båten i lang tid før han drev til land og ble reddet (denne historien er fortalt på folkemunne - dvs "slektsmunne":-) Egentlig veldig lang og heroisk historie... Vil sette stor pris på all mulig informasjon om ham. vennlig hilsen Marianne Draugsvoll (f. Stenhaug)
