[#41677] Trenger hjelp til å oppspore emigrant fra Kristiansund til Chicago.

[Gjest Tor Rustad]

What did I do wrong??Rune; I'll send the image to you.

[Gjest Tor Rustad]

Correction: I read 'Sohol(d?)tIn some Norwegian sources they wrote Soholdt. It looks like Rogewr found him; but none of us have so far found him at any Census.

[Gjest Tor Rustad]

Rune;do you know this site:http://www.chicagogenealogy.com/

[Gjest Rune Thorstensen]

I have had the oportunity to look at the image Tor send me by mail, and I totaly agree with him. The image says A. Soholdt.Og siden vedr. Chicago som du la inn lenke til,Tor , var ny for meg. Men jeg oppfatter det som om jeg må ha konkrete opplysninger om Andreas i Chicago for å dra nytte av lenken. Og pr. øyeblikk har vi bare opplysningen vedr. emigrasjonen som indikasjon på at det var dit han dro. Mvh. Rune T.

[Gjest Tor Rustad]

Rune;I added the link because it also is possible to do some online searces there; such as Illinois Death Idex and others http://www.chicagogenealogy.com/online.htmlNow we know he is noted as a 'US version' of Sjøholt; probably Soholt (there's a lot of them in US sources.I (and others too) have been searching for various spelling (and the possibility of misreading the images by ancestry.com)I doubt he changed onto Larsen/son or Lawson.Did he die befor 1900?However; where are the others??

[Gjest Roger Thauland]

What others in USA? fyi, the death index for Cook is complete as the source records allow, but i will look at the film of ALL dc's (alpha, 1871-1933) because a 'dc' was prepared in Cook when a burial permit was needed...for those who passed while 'out of town'; they are coded OT in the index. ..but, really, i have to look at all of them as coding mistakes happened. The birth fiche might also help, along with the city dirs. The lds fhc library will resume normal hours next week, perhaps i'll get there soon. Does the wife of Anders Larsen, Marg..Caroline have a sister: 'gertie'...born abt 1856? Was Ludvig(louis/lewis) born March 1, 1869? Roger.

[Gjest Rune Thorstensen]

Hi Roger.Acording to the link in nr.18, Ludvig Nicolai was born on the 5th of december 1869. Andreas and Ludvig are the only two members of the family I have found emigrated. I still don`t know if Andreas ever made it to Chicago. The only information I have regarding that, is his emigration. His son Ludvig Nicolai was going to New York. But at this point, that is all I know about their emigration. I will try to look into the question about Margrethe Caroline having any sisters.Rune

[Gjest Tor Rustad]

The Norwegian Emigrant Archive ia not a proof for emigration - only a registration to the Police telling a person was plaming to leave Norway.After Roger's entry # 23 we KNOW he arrived America.

[Gjest Rune Thorstensen]

Yes, and he was not together with his family in Kristiansund in the 1885 census. At least that is an indication if not a proof that he did not return, at least not before 1885.Rune

[Gjest Roger Thauland]

Vell, if not found in ancestry...have some ice cream and try heritage...your Louis is alive and a widower..louis scholt.. in the 1920, age 50, calif, solano county, to usa in 1889, an electric groundsman, whatever that is! ..the local public service company, perhaps; this source did not finish the 1930 census...try ancestry in this location, i suggest. In the 1910 he is 40, single, whatcom county, washington state at bellingham, he is a servant seaman, 1887..likely info provided by someone else...like the office of the place he lived/employed. In the 1900, he is Louis Sohlt, 31, born dec 1869, a sailor, at astoria, in clatsop county, ore. So either Wa or Ca should have a 1910's marr record and either death/divorce record..i did not try family search. Still no Anders, Roger.

[Gjest Rune Thorstensen]

Thanks to Roger for the information about Ludvig/Louis Sohlt. According to the information he moved around a bit. In 1910 he is single, and in 1920 he is a widower.So he must have married between 1910 and 1920, not married for many years it seems.I hope it will be possible to find Andreas/Anders somewhere in the censuses. What about a 1890 census , is that available somewhere?Rune

[Gjest Lars E. Øyane (Luster kommune)]

Det aller meste av FT1890 vart øydelagd av ein brann for mange år sidan, so den finst ikkje!!Med venleg helsing,Lars E. Øyane

[Gjest Rune Thorstensen]

Takk for svaret Lars. Mvh. Rune Thorstensen

[Gjest Tor Rustad]

There's no doubt: The man Roger found at entry #35 is the right one. I looked at the image; it is written SOHOLT. (He is indexed as 'Scolf') Rune; I'll send you the image.

[Gjest Rune Thorstensen]

Takk for svaret Tor. Jeg fikk mailen din Tor, men mailprogrammet låste seg. Kan du sende den på nytt?Men Andreas er fortsatt sporløst borte? Mvh. Rune Thorstensen

[Gjest Hanne Heen]

I kirkebøkene for Kristiansund fant jeg i dag begravelsen til Andreas kone.Det står Arbeidsmannskone Margrethe Karoline Søholt, født 20 januar.... i Hornindal, død 7 desember, begravd 14 desember 1897. Nermeste pårørende Andreas Søholt, som anmerking står det at han har reist fra familien til Amerika for ..... Der kunne jeg ikke tyde resten. Hun døde på fattighuset av hjertefeil.Så da har ikke hun reist over i alle fall.MvhHanne

[Gjest Tor Rustad]

Flott Hanne!Da tyder det på at Andreas levde i hvert fall i 1897.Noe spesiellt at ....'han har reist fra familien til Amerika for ..... '!Vi får fortsette å lete.

[Gjest Rune Thorstensen]

Hjertelig takk Hanne.Da falt den brikken på plass i puslespillet. Men det behøver ikke å bety at Andreas var i live. Om han stakk fra familien sin for å søke lykken i Amerika, kan det godt tenkes at ingen har visst hvor han oppholdt seg og at det heller ikke har vært noen kontakt med gamlelandet. Mvh. Rune T.

[Gjest Tor Rustad]

En tanke: Kan den godeste Andreas Søholt, som reiste fra kona i 1883 ha operert med et helt annet navn i USA (for å 'skjule seg')For ikke så lenge siden var jeg borti en bigamist som hadde forsøkt å skjule sine spor.

[Gjest Rune Thorstensen]

Her kan ingenting utelukkes. Fakta er så langt at bortsett fra opplysningene vedr. emigrasjonen samt ankomsten til Amerika, har vi ingen andre opplysninger om Andreas i Amerika. Mvh. Rune T.

[Gjest Roger Thauland]

Anders/Louis not found in any Chicago resource; i looked at several years of city directories, Roger.

[Gjest Rune Thorstensen]

Thanks anyway Roger for your help. Regards Rune Thorstensen
