    3. I have this register. There are two which meets your criteriea; Jakob Østenson, Rossemyr, on page 660 and Jakob Østenson, Tjøstheim on page 275. There is only one Siri Johannesdtr from Havrevoll, page 539. Seems that Jakob from Rossemyr is the actual one, he has a son Østen (Øystein) Johannesson listed on Rossemyr (660). There is two Ola Jakobson and two Johannes Jakobson listed in the register as well As a comment; can anyone explain why I now sudddenly have to log in to use ths Rootsweb service (DIS Norway password required, have never experienced so rigorous way to take part in this newsgroup) Best regards Knut Hildal Odda Norway

That process, if always honored, is much more thorough than the way it has been done over here. It makes those census records far more credible. > >>The interesting matter here is whether this specific family was > >>correctly registered.

Within the past few hours, I was able to locate what certainly must have been that particular Peter Helland in the New York Ellis Island ship passenger lists. The age matches an 1877 birthyear and he was from Romsdal. If we can resolve that 6 year discrepancy, my friend will probably want to pursue this further including those Vestnes parish records. Thanks again! Mvh Bob

This is all true and in my fairly extensive reading of US censuses that all happens - name errors, date errors, age errors, and so on - and for some of the reasons you mention. My question might seem naive on the surface, but it is based upon a lack of knowledge of how Norwegian censuses are conducted. For all I know, there might be a rule, for instance, that information could be *only* taken from the head of household. Measures such as that would increase the accuracy and cause me to accept data from a Norwegian census that I might reject from a US census. > The interesting matter here is whether this specific family was > correctly registered. Normally, this can be verified from other sources, > in particular, the parish registry. Furthermore, the source for "your" > Peter's birth year should also be scrutinized. That's right and I will question my source again, but a 6 year error seems unlikely unless I have mistakenly been given the wrong person's birthdate or my source has been given such. If that Einen household census record becomes more credible I'll pursue investigation of the nedre Helland pasish registry. Thanks again for your help! Mvh Bob

I was wondering about errors because I haven't been successful in locating a Peter Helland who was born 1883 with a father named Ole and who was probably from that general area of Norway. I've searched for the variations of Peter, Peder, Petter, Per, Pehr and numerous spelling variations of the surname, but the household listed above is the only one that comes close. Could the census taker have written down the wrong birthyear for Peter or could he have reversed the names of Peter & Nils there? Have you observed errors like that in the 1900 census and are they common? In the US censuses, the information could have been given to the census taker by any member of the household or even a neighbor and not just the head of household, so errors are frequent. Is that also true of the Norwegian census? Thanks again! Bob

The answer to the first question is apparently "yes". For the remaining, there are some questions to the source and the regitration of it. It appears that the farm name i Helland nedre. This is farm No.45 i Vestnes, and it is the vicars's recidence. Einen is a 'husmannsplass' (small, rented farm) under Helland. Geographically, Einen may be in some distance from the main farm houses of Helland but still within the area of it. Thus, somehow, the person registering the family in the census has witten Einen as surname for the parents and Helland for the children. This may be correct or incorrect - there is no general rule that can help you figuring out this.

    1. Naming Practices - Norway
    2. Robert Heiling
    3. Hei I'd like to double-check my understanding of Norwegian naming practices or be corrected. The following household is taken from the 1900 census, More Og Romsdal, Vestnes, and the farmname is EINEN. (please forgive my formatting) Name Family status Marital status Occupation Birth year Ole Einen hf g Husmand, forpakter m J 1844 Berte Einen hm g Husmandskone 1845 Peter Helland s ug Skomager 1877 Olufine Helland d ug Husligt arb., kreaturstel. 1881 Nils Helland s ug Arbeider i snedkerfabrik 1883 Marie Helland d ug Barn 1888 Julie Helland d ug Barn 1890 Hans Helland hf g Driver snedker- og dreierfabrik1869 Seriana Helland hm g Snedkerkone 1875 Olav Helland s ug Barn 1900 Questions: Ole & Berte have the surname Einen because that's the farm that they currently reside on? They changed their surname to Einen when they moved there from wherever they had been before? The children have the name Helland because that is the name of the farm that the family lived on when they were born? I note that there is/was a local parish farm by the name of Helland and wonder if that is likely the place that they previously resided? I see that Helland seems to be more of a place on the map now than a farm. For those who are familiar with the numerous errors in the US censuses of given & surname spelling errors, birthdate errors, placename errors, etc; would you say that the Norwegian censuses have far fewer errors? about the same number? more? Mvh Bob

    1. Last rites declaration of Ioannes Paulus PP. II (Karol Wojtyla)
    2. Ioannes Paulus PP. II (Karol Wojtyla)
    3. "The unforgiveable sins this earth must confront and overcome are Nationalism, capitalism, and hoarding. The idea of every nation should be forgot, price should be struck from the commons, and princes should be seen for the devils they are. The sins include our church, secret societies, and other religions which make of the spirit of God a divide." Last rites declaration of Ioannes Paulus PP. II (Karol Wojtyla) 2nd April 2005 -- Do this as exceptional. But of the exception you make a rule without exception, so that you do not even want the rule to be exceptional. 905. On confessions and absolutions without signs of regret. God regards only the inward; the Church judges only by the outward. God absolves as soon as He sees penitence in the heart; the Church when she sees it in works. God will make a Church pure within, which confounds, by its inward and entirely spiritual holiness, the inward impiety of proud sages and Pharisees; and the Church will make an assembly of men whose external manners are so pure as to confound the manners of the heathen. If there are hypocrites among them, but so well disguised that she does not discover their venom, she tolerates them; for, though they are not accepted of God, whom they cannot deceive, they are of men, whom they do deceive. And thus she is not dishonoured by their conduct, which appears holy. But you want the Church to judge neither of the inward, because that belongs to God alone, nor of the outward, because God dwells

The correct name of the ship is the Olympic. The Olympic's passenger manifest includes a Signa Andersson, age 24 from Dorarp, Sweden. The Olympic sailed on April 2, 1913 from Southampton, England to New York City. Your great grandmother would have taken some other ship or ships from Sweden to Southampton. The Olympic was sister ship to the Titanic and Britannic. The Olympic could carrry 750 1st class, 500 2nd class and 1150 3rd class passengers. You can view all the Olympic's passenger manifests at www.ellisisland.org.
