[#17213] Carl Ludvig Knudsen Bergan Larvik born 1867?

[Gjest Jeff Erickson]

I am looking for some information on my great grandfather Carl Ludvig Knudsen born about 1867 at the farm Bergan near Larvik.

[Gjest Laila N. Christiansen]

Hi! Did your great grandfather emigrate to Australia? Or, his children? Do you have more names and years? Laila

I have since this morning found his naturalization papers in Australia. It seems that he may have been born in Horten on 15/1/1868 and maybe later moved to Bergan before coming to Australia. He was a seaman and arrived in Adelaide South Australia before 1896. He married in Adelaide on 1896.

WHat about his marr.cert? It dont tell his fathers name? Laila

[Gjest Mette Gjertsen]

Could this be his parents?LenkeI found them first at fam. search as parents to Carl Ludvig...then I search at ft 1865.There is also a farm called Bergan in Borre (Horten)...but I cant find any of this people in my 'Borre-Book'. I dont find them at the farm Tveiten, Tveitan either.Mette Gjertsen

He was known as Henry Thompson in South Australia. His marriage shows his fathers name only as Henry on the 1st marriage and Christof on the second marriage. The naturalization certificate shows he was Carl Ludvig Knutsen. The farm Bergan may have been in Horton.

Hey.There is also a farm named Bergan in Solum Telemark.

I have found out that the Carl Ludwig Knudsen known as Henry Thompson in Australia is not the Henry Thompsom I am looking for
