[#28392] Olaus Johansen - Kongsberg or Drammen

[Gjest Robert Evensen]

I'm trying to find the birth date of Olaus Johansen. He married Antonette Mathilde Olausdr on 28 May 1871 in Kongsberg. They may have moved later to Drammen. Thanks, Robert

[Gjest Gunn Huglen]

Here is the wedding I think?LenkeI will try to help you to find more information. Sorry a I am not able to give you the birthdate from Churchbooks.Best regards from Gunn Huglen.

[Gjest Robert L. Evensen]

Tusen takk Gunn. Yes, that is the wedding record. I am hoping to find his birth date, so I can establish if he is the correct Olaus Johansen. The person I am seeking is Olaves Johanessen Løsnes, born 27 Oct. 1849 in Kongsberg. I do not know the name of his wife. He had at least one daughter, Lina Løsness, born abt. 1877 in Drammen.Robert

[Gjest Gunn Huglen]

I think this must be their first daughter. LenkeGunn.H

[Gjest Gunn Huglen]

I wonder if Karoline Løsnes in Drammen i 1900 is a daughter of your Olaves Johansen?LenkeI will try to find out more.Gunn.h.

[Gjest Gunn Huglen]

I found a Løsnes family from Kongsberg in Lardal,in 1900.LenkeI know there are people i Vestfold still using Løsness as their familiname.In Horten and in Larvik I have seen the names.Gunn. H.

Here are more Løsness famliy in Kongsberg 1865. Father is working in the silvermine .LenkeDo hope that will be of some help.Gunn. H.

[Gjest Robert L. Evensen]

Hei Gunn,Yes, you have found several of his brothers and family in Kongsberg. Many of the family moved to Drammen. Karoline Løsness is not his daughter. This is a puzzle. Robert

[Gjest Gunn Huglen]

Here you have the Løsnes famliy i Drammen in 1900. LenkeI do hope you will get some help to find the bapt.in Kongsberg.Gunn H.
