Hi Yvonne, Did she use Hultgren when she left Norway? Before she left? I think of my grandfather whose father was Karlsen and my grandfather later took the name of his mother, Michelsen, booked passage as Karlsen and when he arrived he waas back to Michelsen. Your Anna was born before a "family" name was required and she could have taken her father's name - say he was Ole Larsen - and she could have been named Anna Olson, his father would have been named Lars, and when married she could have kept her name or adopted his. Do you have the marriage information? The ship passenger list? I hope this helps a little.:} Barbara in MA (also snowed and iced in but have been for 2 months!)

Thanks, Barbara. Your email about Anna Hultgren stirred up some memories. The quoted paragraph below was in my rat pack genealogy file from some years back... "The Vang migration records show that she [Anna] left Vang for Voss in January of 1881 to get married. Yvonne and her sources believe that Anna died after she and her children arrived in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada, on May 12, 1890. Peter arrived in Quebec on Aug 10, 1889. Peter [and maybe Anna and the kids] went on to Aberdeen, South Dakota. Called Anna Olson in her son Anton’s death certificate, the informant for which was her husband, and Anton’s father Peter Hultgren of Clarissa." So, to my way of thinking, there is only about a 3-year period in which to search for Anna because husband Per Hultgren arrives in Quebec in August 1889 and marries his second wife, Amanda Roxstrom, on 29 Jan 1892 in Aberdeen, Brown County, South Dakota. I checked Find A Grave for an Anna Olson (and Anna Hultgren) who died before 1892. I found one death for an Anna Olson b. 1854 and died in 1893. This lady is buried at Eagle Lake Cemetery, Battle Lake, Minnesota. [But, I don't think this is Per's first wife because by 1983 Per had remarried.] Per and Anna's children are Ole, Anton, Mary/Stina, Anna Emily and Amandus. Son Amandus' 1914 obituary identifies his mother as Anna Ellestad. Thanks for clues, ideas which hopefully will enable someone to find Anna after all of these years. Yvonne

Yvonne, The Anna Hultgren that Jerrald located at Union Creek, So. Dak. Find A Grave Memorial# 31241029, was "Monsdtr." and born Dec 1851. John Per Hultgren, Find A Grave Memorial# 31241285 was born Dec 1840 in Sweden. Although familiar with the Hultgren family, I did not know Anna or John Per. (I lived in that area from 1935 to 1953) Most likely not the family you are searching for. Jerry C. On Mar 6, 2015, at 11:34 AM, Yvonne Morehouse via wrote: > Thanks, Barbara.
