Dear Listers! For quite some time problem has "tickled" me; I don't seem to get anywhere on this: Andreas Jensson Walaker aka Andrew Walaker (1869-1953), originally from Luster Co., Norway, emigrated from Aalesund in 1906 and was married in Brooklyn, NY July 9, 1914 to Walborg Jakobsen (1878-1958), who emigrated from Larvik in 1909. Andrew was a construction worker in New York City, NY until the couple returned to Norway about 1920 They went to live in Hedrum Co., Vestfold, near hear home town of Larvik. Two children were born to them in New York City, NY: * Anna Sigrid Walaker, born Aug. 1, 1916 * Henrik Walaker, born ?? (either fall of 1914/spring 1915 or fall of 1917-1919). He died shortly after birth! Here Andrew shows in the 1917 New York City directory: Name: Andrew J Walaker Residence Year: 1917 Street Address: 3787 3d Av Residence Place: New York, New York, USA Occupation: Carpenter Publication Title: New York, New York, City Directory, 1917 Is it at all possible to find exact dates for little Henrik? Also: Is it possible to find the exact date of the family returning to Norway? Thanks a million in advance for your great assistance in this matter! Very sincerely yours, Lars E. Oyane

Dear Listers! Just as I posted this message, the following information reached me off-list: ~~~~~ Henry Berthel Walaker New York, New York City Municipal Deaths, 1795-1949 birth: 22 March 1919 New York City death: 27 April 1920 Bronx, New York, New York, United States burial: 29 April 1920 New York residence: Bronx, New York, New York father: Andres Jansen mother: Valbary Jacobsen ~~~~~ This solves my main question about Henrik Walaker, but can someone tell me when the parents and their daughter returned to Norway? Thanks again for your great assistance! Very sincerely yours, Lars E. Oyane ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Apr 29, 2015, at 10:51 AM, Lars E.
