Hello. I am looking for some genealogical help finding my ancestor, Jacob Zachariasen Hervig, who was a sailor on the Seaman’s roll in the 1870s. My family does not know much about him, other than that he was my great great grandfather Ole’s brother. Links to Jacob’s information below: Jacob Zachariasen Hervig was born March 30, 1848, at Hervig farm in Tysvaer parish, Rogaland county, Norway. His parents were Zakarias Hansen Hervig and Guri Olsdatter Hunsnes: https://media.digitalarkivet.no/view/1705/11 Jacob’s family in the 1865 census. Location is Lillesund udenfor Haugesund, Rogaland county, Norway: https://www.digitalarkivet.no/census/person/pf01038220002828 *I didn’t even find Jacob in the 1875 Norwegian census right before he was enrolled in the Seaman’s roll. The seaman’s roll listed his address in 1876 as Stavanger, Row 12, and his brother Ole was working in Stavanger in 1875 as a shoemaker’s apprentice, but I still didn’t find Jacob. Jacob Zakariassen Hervig in the Seaman's roll. This is a transcribed record that gives ID #4734 for Jakob but does not give a date. Jacob’s name, birthdate, and birthplace match: https://www.digitalarkivet.no/view/91/pc00000000411856 Stavanger seaman's office, name register to the main roll. See row #14 on the right side. This gives his ID numbers to find him in the main rolls. Jacob Zachariassen Hervig, #2977/4734: https://media.digitalarkivet.no/view/39400/120 Stavanger sjømannskontor, Annotasjonsrulle nr. 5, 1872-1900, patentnr. 1786-3585 (del 2). ID #2977, 2nd entry on lefthand page. Record date starts 26 Feb 1876: https://media.digitalarkivet.no/view/39441/243 Annotation roll duplicate: https://media.digitalarkivet.no/view/39445/239 Stavanger sjømannskontor, Sjøfartshovedrulle, patentnr. 3605-4804. Record date starts on 8 Jun 1878. States Permitted to emigrate to America 17? Feb 1881. The day is hard to read. There is a note on the righthand page that he escaped in Antwerp in 1878. https://media.digitalarkivet.no/view/39412/656 Duplicate roll here also. The date here says permitted to emigrate 12 February 1881: https://media.digitalarkivet.no/view/39423/570 Given that Jacob was listed on the annotasjon’s roll as “escaped in Antwerp”, my main question is where do I go from here to keep looking for him? I read an article on Norwayheritage.com that stated the seaman’s roll was also a way of keeping a list of sailors for possible military use, but I’m not sure I understand what I’m reading in the seaman’s roll. 1. If Jacob’s contract was for a certain period, like 5 years, and he escaped in 1878, why was his information transferred to the main roll even though he was no longer in Norway? Was this common? 2. If Jacob was found after escaping, it appears he didn’t sail on any further ships for the remainder of his contract? 3. Why would the seaman’s roll say “allowed to emigrate to America” in February 1881 if he escaped in Belgium? Was emigrating to America something that was a stated condition of his enrollment? Do records of the actual seaman’s contracts exist? 4. How hard was it to jump ship and disappear back then? Would Jacob possibly have changed his name when he escaped in Antwerp? I didn’t find Jacob in either Norway or America after his records in the seaman’s rolls. I’m aware that the Stavanger emigration records for that time period were lost in a fire, and also that a large amount of immigration records to America are not scanned and available online yet. I’d much appreciate any further education about this topic or suggestions about where to direct my research. Thank you! Joanne

Looking for any Dorge family and genealogy

The record image is: https://media.digitalarkivet.no/view/8250/88 The item is the first one under Anno 1817, female #1. We have conflicting readings of the word before the deceased person's name, Dorthe Hansdatter. Two people say it is "barn" and another says it is"krone." Can you help clarify this word for us? The woman married to Knud Hansen, if this is the right one I'm searching for, was named in other records as Dorthe Christophersdatter, but in this record for her death, she is listed as Dorthe Hansdatter. I am trying to prove that this person is the same Dorthe Christophersdatter married to the blacksmith Knud Hansen originally from Ulefoss and Hørte working at the ironworks mill there, also known as Knud Hansen Møller (born abt. 1779). He married Dorthe Christophersdatter 9 Jul 1807 in Bø, Telemark. The records of their children's births list her also as Christophersdatter. I've been searching for a marriage between a Knud Hansen and Dorthe Hansdatter to disprove that this is the same blacksmith and wife, but haven't found such a record yet. A cross-reference for the death of Dorthe Hansdatter is also found in the Larvik ministerial book nr. I 1/1814 - 1825 at https://media.digitalarkivet.no/view/8253/106. It references page 695 in the "general register" and I haven't found that yet. Could you point me to that image? Thank you. I really appreciate any assistance you can provide for this. We've several genealogists debating over the transcription of the Norwegian word in the record, and debating over whether or not this is the "right" wife for our Knud Hansen. LOL! Thanks for helping solve this mystery. Lorelle
