[#24766] Nord-trøndere i Carlton, Minnesota

[Gjest Eldbjørg Lyngstad]

I mars 1899 emigrerte Hanna Grytten, 18 år, til Amerika, med 16 dollar i lomma. På skipsmanifestet står det at hun planlegger å reise til sin 'cousin' A. Reitan i Carlton, MN. Er det noen som kan gjøre et søk for å se om A. Reitan eller Hanna Grytten finnes i Carlton i 1900? Hun het forresten Hanna Mathilde, og var født i 1881 på Namdalseid. Hennes far het Ole Andreassen (Grytten).

En Anton Reitan emigrerte i 1884, 21 år gammel, fra Trondheim. Hans bustad er Namsos, men han er på vei til Baldwin, Wisconsin. LenkeEn Anton Reitan kan finnes igjen i Carlton, Minnesota ved søk på Ancestry.com. Jeg har dessverre ikke tilgang, men det ser jo lovende ut foreløpig?

There were two Anton Reitan's on the Minnesota death index, but the Lake County one seems more likely, because the other one who died in Lac Qui Parle County lived way over on the opposite side of the state, near South Dakota. REITAN, ANTON CertID# 1935-MN-007230 Date of Birth: Place of Birth: Mother Maiden Name: not indexed not indexed not indexed Date of Death: 04/14/1935 (April 14, 1935) County of Death: LAKEThe white pages for the USA (www.switchboard.com) show that there are still Reitan's living in that part of Minnesota, in Lake county. The town to type into the search is called Two Harbors, which is a port on Lake Superior. Duluth would also be a good city to search for possible Reitan relatives, and there is a listing for a Reitan in Hermantown, near Duluth. I know it doesn't give you the answer to your relative exactly, but perhaps someone alive today knew her.Taryn
