[#31952] Marcus Jacobsen, Tonsberg

[Gjest Ron Gulbranson]

In my search for family of Jacob Hansen, I have found a Marcus Jacobsen from Tonsberg. He Immegrated to US in 1900. This might be grandson of Jacob, since known son of jacob is Markus from Aker. I have not searched Tonsberg area. Can someone help?

Hi Ron.To be able to help, I think you need to give a little bit more information. Is Marcus Jacobsen a sure ancestor, or is Jacob Hansen a sure ancestor?Please write the information you know for sure (name, birthdate, birthplace etc.), and then ask for children, siblings, parents etc. The more we know, the easier to help!Best rgds, Cathrine

In FamilySearch/VRI I’ve found this marriage in Christiania in 1866 (Christiania changed name to Oslo from 1925):Marcus JACOBSEN Age At Marriage: 21Sex: Event(s): Birth: Parents: Father: Jacob HANSEN Marriage: Spouse: Anne Malene FINGARSDRAge At Marriage: 31Marriage: 04 Nov 1866 Place: Oslo, Akershus, NorwayAnd in Family Search/IGI I’ve found another Markus Jacobsen, son og Jacob Hansen, but he was christened as early as 1809 in Enebakk, AkershusMARKUS JACOBSEN Christening: 15 JAN 1809 Enebakk, Akershus, Norway Father: JACOB HANSEN Family Mother: ANNE JACOBSDR In the 1865 census for Aker (Østre Aker) I’ve found the widow Marthe Hansdatter with her three sons: Holm, Markus and Edvard Jakobsen on Vålerenga Lenke. Markus is 25 years old, born about 1840. Since Marthe is a widow in 1865, I can’t tell you if she was married to a Jacob Hansen. Then you need to check the church records for Aker.

This is my ancestral family. Marthe was married to Jacob Hansen. I know there is more family, but haven't been able to find them. I would like to find families of Holm, Edvard, and especially Marcus.
