    1. [NOR] Can't find a birth or even a confirmation
    2. EDWARD A SCRIVEN via
    3. I am searching for the birth and parents of Hanna Edea Karlsdatter. She is the mother of an illegitimate daughter Adolfine Petrine BLIX, born 1 September 1879 in Vikjord, Nordland, and christened in Borge, Nordland, 19 October 1879. She also had another illegitimate child with a different man in Vikjord in 1882. Neither entry gives a clue about her birth, and she is only named Hanna Karlsdatter in both entries. Using census records I have found in 1865 a Hanna Edea Karlsdatter in Vikjord in Borge as a 10 year old serving girl in the home of Hans Jakobsen. In 1875 there is a Hanna Carlsen in Valberg in Borge in the home of Peder Ellingsen. It says she was born 1856 in Valberg B and is a maid. There is a Hendrikke Leonora Eddia Carlsdatter born in Kartfjord 23 June 1856 and christened in Valberg (also listed on Borge parish) 10 August 1856, daughter of Carl Olsen and Dorthea Elliasdatter. She is confirmed in 1875 I believe it was. There is a Hanna Karlsdatter married to Petter Martinussen on the 1910 census in Steinbakken in Borge born 24 Jun 1855 in Borge. That is off by a year and a day for the Hendrikke born in Kartfjord, and she has the middle name of Eddia when she was christened similar to the Edea on the 1865 Census mentioned. I can't decide which ones might be correct for the Hanna Karlsdatter I am seeking. Any other possibilities, insights, or suggestions? Edward A. Scriven Layton, Utah Always be Happy!!

    3. Hello Bev, I had already thanked Catherine Stallybrass last night and just now sent her the link to the newspaper and the translation we have done so far. I now have a general idea of the content but would like to find the outcome of the court case if possible. This means more research for me. As it was in a Hamburg newspaper I didn't want to bore everyone on the list. Thank you again for your kind thoughts.

    3. Dear Annette and other Listers! Thank you very much, Annette, for your latest comments on Herman Peterson. It is interesting to see there was indeed a pension application for Herman, so we know he was married at the time he died in the Civil War, so I must just assume we have found the "right" Herman! In the meantime Carrie's death record has also appeared, on FamilySearch: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Carie Peterson Iowa, County Death Records Name: Carie Peterson Event Type: Death Event Date: 15 Dec 1910 Event Place: Wayne, Mitchell, Iowa, United States Age: 82 Birth Year (Estimated): 1828 Father's Name: Peter Thomspon Mother's Name: C Peterson ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The mother's name is wrong; her name was actually Anna Knutsdotter, but all of the other details "match", her age, place of residence and father's name, so I am sure she's the right one! So, now it remains to identify Martin Hermanson, Bessie's 1st husband! Any chance he can be identified? Thanks again for your wonderful assistance in this matter! Very sincerely yours, Lars E.

Hello Bev, Thanks again for your imput, we do have several Latin & German dictionaries but the problem is how to work out the exact legal meaning in this public announcement in the newspaper in 1828.

    3. I can help here, a little. I've been to the courthouse, for adoption and estate records. They have an index. An index card file index. Some of the women that work there are very helpful. Some are not. Good luck. Viroqua is not in my list of places for this year. I may get up that way around Thanksgiving or Christmas, but have no current plans to do either. Otherwise, I'd offer to do whatever look up you need. I still have unresolved issues from my last visit to the courthouse. It's a frustrating place. Probably true everywhere in Wisconsin. All of my wife's brickwalls are from there. I will actually be in the region in July for a wedding, but I'm not sure I will have an opportunity to get to Viroqua.

    3. Dear Annette and other Listers! Thank you very much, Annette, for your latest comment on my Herman Peterson problem! So, I believe also we may assume there was just one Herman Peterson at Chattanooga, TN. But he apparently wasn't killed "in action". Somewhere it says he died from disease, as did numerous other soldiers at the same time and the same place! According to Wikipedia, the last of three battles at Chattanooga, TN took place in November of 1863! Could it be they had an army hospital at Chattanooga, TN? After all of this it remains to find evidence that his widow Kari, later known as Carrie Hermanson, indeed did apply for pension, and also I am still missing her date and place of death, which I presume must have been in Mitchell Co., IA some time between 1910 and 1920!?

Thanks for showing me that it Peder's connection through his mother and gmother to Vang. I have my ESPEPETHs on my maternal gfather side and he descends from Vik, Sogn de Fjordane, so it is interesting to see Peder passing through the same area. thanks again, and I look forward to figuring out how Peder's gmother might fit in with my "own" Vang Kjos et al.

    3. Dear Annette and other Listers! Thank you very much, Annette, for your latest messages! But now I am confused! We know there was a much younger Herman Peterson from Minnesota who took part in the Civil War, but he survived and lived even long after 1900. However, if I understand you, Annette, correctly, there were TWO Herman Petersons who were BOTH at Chattanooga, TN, one as a member of the Pioneer Corps and the other one a "real" soldier, one dying June 11, 1864 and the other one dying June 13, 1864? I am indeed confused... Were they both from Spring Prairie, WI? And how old was the other one? Thanks again for clearing me up on this topic! Very sincerely yours. Lars E.

And another fact, there is NOONE "matching" this Herman in the 1860 census, so he probably "lied" about his name as well...

Now, ve have a nice house, nice car, big bed and plasma screen TV, but I'm sleeping vith a 50 year old woman. It seems to me dat you are not holding up your side of tings." Lena is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a hot 25 year old blonde, and she would make sure that I would once again be living in a cheap apartment, driving a cheap car, sleeping on a sofa bed and watching a 10-inch black and white TV.
