Thanks, Lisbeth. It was transport that I couldn't read. We understand she was one of the thousands who died in Norway in 1918 in the Pandemic Flu that devastated the whole world. We believe one of her children also died in 1918. Edward A.

Thank you Lisbeth. I interpret that to mean he was buried at the Buxnæs church in Lofoten. (I found translations of everything from pigeonfest to pit attached, to finally grave attached) :-) Seems strange to bury him so far away. I tried to look in the Buxnæs church records (Buksnes sokn?) to see if there might be a record of the burial there with a reason, but they only go to 1748. I guess I will never know why he was buried there. Maybe he was traveling and died there? > On May 13, 2017, at 2:22 PM, Lisbeth Dyrnes <[email protected]> wrote: > > Gravfestet i Buxnæs kirke i Lofoten. > > Lisbeth >> >> http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:NBN:no-a1450-kb20050426030946.jpg >> #7 died 13 March _________________ ________ Hans Mortensen 44 of Sandvor >> >> There is a notation made in the burial column unlike that of anyone else >> on the page.

Thank you for any help with the transcription/translation of this burial record. http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:NBN:no-a1450-kb20050426030946.jpg #7 died 13 March _________________ ________ Hans Mortensen 44 of Sandvor There is a notation made in the burial column unlike that of anyone else on the page.

I am at a loss reading the comments in the last column for this death record and would appreciate a translation. I do have one source that says she died after 7 years with leprosy and I do see 7 Aar, in the comment but cannot read anything else. Am I correct in my understanding that the far right three columns are for stillbirths and have nothing to do with the death/burial record I am interested in? At first that confused me until I realized that was a different record. #12 - died 24 May, buried 5 June 1854. ________ Elen Maria Christensendatter age 69 of Sandvoret, http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:NBN:no-a1450-kb20050426030983.jpg Thank you Lenise

There are others who are probably better authorities than me, but my understanding from working with Swedish records is that "piga" or "pige" was the term for young peasant class girls, while "froken" was used for young single girls that were in a somewhat higher social class, such as school teacher for example. ----- Original Message ----- From: "EDWARD A SCRIVEN" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, May 12, 2017 6:45:21 PM Subject: [NOR] Pige og Frøken Most single girls when I find them marrying say Pige, but some say Frøken.

Dear Listers, For more than 30 years I have tried to figure out what happened to this young man from Hafslo parish in Luster County, Norway, but so far to no avail: Arne Hansson Urness born Aug. 7, 1839 Urness farm in Hafslo parish, Norway emigrated in 1861 to his brother Johannes «John» H.

Dear Annette and other Listers! Thanks a million, Annette, f0r your wonderful message! You have apparently found another newspaper site which can be useful and which seems to be entirely free! So, now we know at least where Ranveig lived at the time she died (by the way, it was 1937!), and that seems to be as close as we can get!

Lenise, I suggest you try contacting the person with the Ancestry tree, because they may be able to tell you their sources and save you a lot of time, even if it doesn't appear that they have any. I've found that my non-Ancestry sources don't show up well in Ancestry trees. Of course, they may not have sources, but it's worth a shot.

The brother, Hans Andreas Jensen, is #39 on this page, born in Ytre Ønøen 11 September 1859 and christened in Lurøy (or Lurø) 30 October 1859. He is listed as illegitimate. https://media.digitalarkivet.no/view/2593/130 The parents then married in Lurøy 8 July 1860. They are #7 on this page https://media.digitalarkivet.no/view/2594/63 There are a lot of spaces between the children on the census of 1900, so there may be other siblings born and married and moved or who died in infancy.

This makes the emigration record from Trondheim that Reina found look promising, as it states a Martin Jensen of the correct age, from Lurø, emigrated in 1890, the correct year. However, my search of the Lurøy parish book for Martin’s birth between 1872-1875 as well as for a Hans Jensen in 1859 with the correct parents was unsuccessful. > > Does this bit of information suggest any additional searches I might try? > > Thank you again > > Lenise > > >> On May 9, 2017, at 1:50 AM, [email protected] wrote: >> >> Hello Lenise, >> >> I have tried to look for your Martin Jensen (also tried the name Morten no hits) see emigration. >> >> I have this emigrationrecords for 1890 see here below and looked at the parishes mentioned, without luck finding a baptism with parents Jens Jensen + Bergete Olsen. >> >> I think you need first information of more censusrecords in the USA or where he lived there after 1890. >> >> Kind regards >> Reina >> >> EMIGRATION: >> Trondheim >> 1890 468 13 13 1 23.01.1890 23.01.1890 Martin Jens. ug Arb m 16 Lurø Barnesville Minn >> >> >> >> Kristiansund >> 182 1890 Juni 04 Martinus Jenssen Angvik M 1876 1876 U Arbeider Tingvoll Nordmøre Michigan Ja >> >> >> >> Bergen Hordaland Wedding >> Jens Jensen Uk tjenestedreng Kvindherred 160136 Brita Olsdtr Pige Haus 100340 Mai 08 1870 KK >> >> >> baptism in Haus #32 >> https://media.digitalarkivet.no/view/8282/44 >> >> Kristiana tillegg >> 1890 471 20 1 11.04.1890 Martin Jens.

I just found another bit of information that I’m hopeful could be of help, though my searches have not yielded much fruit. On family search at https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939X-XKSL-F3?mode=g&i=2080&cc=1834308 I found that in 1901, a Hans Jensen, living in “Luro” Helgeland, Norway, wrote to the U.S. War Department seeking information regarding his brother Martin Jensen, which I know from the military unit mentioned is the correct Martin Jensen I did find a Hans Jensen in Lurø in the 1900 census, born in Lurø in 1859. This makes the emigration record from Trondheim that Reina found look promising, as it states a Martin Jensen of the correct age, from Lurø, emigrated in 1890, the correct year. However, my search of the Lurøy parish book for Martin’s birth between 1872-1875 as well as for a Hans Jensen in 1859 with the correct parents was unsuccessful. Does this bit of information suggest any additional searches I might try?
