It looks like all of the census 'lenke' that Arne gave, will not show the census information, unless a person agrees to sign up with Ancestry.com. mvh Patty

Hei, Det har vært og blir en travel uke.Dette ser strålende ut og jeg kan lese hva Arne har sendt. Dette begynner å bli så myeå holde rede på at jeg legger ved en begynnelse på en rapport med de personer det gjelder.Har dere noen råd? Jeg vet heller ikke om dette forumet er det riktige? Håpet er at andre kan bidra og ha nytte av dette. I det vedlagte er det særlig de to brødrene til min relasjon som er av interesse. Altså Jakob Svendsen f 1836 som vi er kommet langt på. Den andre broren Svend Svendsen f 1847 er vi ikke kommet i gang med? Andre personer i vedlegg som er emigrert: Bjørner Bjøkre Marit Olsdatter I bygdebok for Lesja står det også at søster til min Guttorm dvs Marith Svendsdatter emigrerte til USA i 1857 ? Patty- Stay online -I am just busy for the time being and will follow up later. Arnulv

Hei igjen! It seems to me that Marit S. 'Ekren' (born 1856) should have settled near to her brother Jacob, in 1880. I guess the bygdebok was wrong when it said she left for the USA in 1857. I wonder if Kari (Jacob's wife) is still living in Chippewa County in 1900, after Jacob died. Do you know what year Jacob died? Also the son Peter, should be about 21 for the 1900 census... perhaps he is still with his mother? Just some thoughts for now. mvh Patty

Jeg lurer litt på denne Mary Swensen her, om det kan være Marit. Det er mulig at denne hotellverten Gilbert er identisk med Guttorm Svendsen Holen. Han har også sin bror Lars boende hos seg. :Name: Gilbert Swensen Home in 1880: Flambeau, Chippewa, Wisconsin Age: 31Estimated birth year: abt 1849Birthplace: NorwayRelation to head-of-household: Self (Head)Spouse's name: EmmaFather's birthplace: NorwayMother's birthplace: NorwayOccupation: Hotel ManagerMarital Status: MarriedRace: White Gender: Male Household Members: Name AgeGilbert Swensen 31Emma Swensen 20Swensen 1MLars Swensen 25Charles Thompson 35Edward Brennen 24Lars Brennen 26Knut Nordurhus 30Gabriel Lambert 35Mary Swensen 22Annie Johnson 18Ellen Engebert 24Michael Boyer 25Peter Marrion 24Frank Patnon 20Anderson Angus 36Edward Duffany 32Daniel W.

I wonder if this is could be Svend (f. 1847). In the 1880 Dakota Territory Census, Spink Township, Union County: Peter Ekren age 30, wife 'Sarah' age 39(?), Ole age 4, Oscar age 1. In 1900 the location is now South Dakota, Union County, Spink. Peter O. Ekren, born Jan 1849, wife Sere born 1843. The thing that caught my eye (thinking back about 'Lansing' (Michigan?? or not) as a destination...their sons Ole P (f. 1875) and Albert P. (f 1879), were born in Michigan...there is a daughter-in-law, Betsy and grand daughter, Serina (f. March 1900). Father, Peter and 'Sere' immigrated in 1870. Boarders Christian Sogge age 12, and Eli Sogge age 7. By 1920 (Union co, Emmet township) Ole Ekren (f 1875) is head of household and is married to Betsy....they have children and Peter is 70 and 'Signi' is age 77. I have not written all of the census details...just giving you the some of the points of interest (kanskje!). Of course this may not be part of 'your' family... mvh Patty

Hei! I am not familiar with the whole Ekren family...how does this Peder 'fit in'?? So he was baptized in Soer Trondelag (Melhus)...is he still part of the same family as Jacob Ekren? mvh Patty

Hei, I have been out travelling and just to give you a reference to my family relations see topic 45606 on this site. My relation is Guttorm Svendsen f 1827. he was one of many sisters/brother(14 with 2 mother) I am seaching for. Guttorm went to Northen Norway(a kind of emigration?) in 1848. 2 brothers and 1 sister went to USA as far as I know and so far this is my prime interest. Svend Svendsen Ekeren f 25 may 1847(Half brother of my Guttorm) went in 28 may 1869(22 years old)to Reeds Landing/Reds Lansing.He most likely went together with two fellows from the emigration papers:Haldor Haldorsen Bjøkne and Lars Bentzen Torthol both from Lesja.(This Svend must not be mixed with the son of Jakop with the same name) The other brother Jakob J Ekre with family and sister Marit S(to my Guttorm) went from Norway in 1879 as shown in contribution 9 here. It was also a fellow called Karl P Skatte(Skotte?) travelling it seems together with them.(Linked to Marit S ?) I have to study the new information you have provided properly before I can give you a proper feed back. (Trondheim could also be a emigration harbour from Lesja) Why did my relative Guttorm go north in 1848 and his brothers and sister go USA in 1869 and 1879? I read in the news paper that it was some exstremly hard winthers around this time and that it was hunger in Lesja? It seems like a lot of people emigrated from Lesja .Thanks to all of you so far I will get back to you. Arnulv

Hei igjen! I will answer a few of your questions, Arnulv! The 'Peter' age 70 that I mention in #38 is the 'Troendelag' Peter Ekren (not the son of Jacob)...he is listed last in the census, because he is no longer head of the household...that is why I 'jumped' to Peter. I did not list all the children of the Ole Ekren who is the head of household for the 1920 South Dakota census...sorry about the confusion.Unfortunately there is no 1890 census...almost all of the censuses were lost in a fire (I think in Washington, DC).So Marit, age 20 (I think) listed in the emigration record with Jacob is not Jacob's sister?I did some 'basic' searches in the 1900 census using 'Swainson' for a spelling...nothing 'fit' your family. I somehow believe this was a 'misspelling' of the family name (Swendsen) recorded in the 1880 census. mvh Patty

Hei, I have the same problem finding Marit S f1856 and Svend f 1847.In fact I have problems in general seaching in the census as newcomer. Marit S 20 years at emigration is the sister of Jacob f1837 and Svend f 1847. In fact I will try again based on the new information. Oliver Jackson died in 1991 it may be a solution to follow this line(Children if any?) to get information about the others? Thanks so far Arnulv Arnulv

Hei igjen!Well, I just have to tell you about this 'possibility' I found in the census. I think this is the same 'Gilbert' that Arne found in 1880 living in Chippewa County (#36).1900 census Watonwan, St. James township (same as Samuel Jackson!) I found the following:Gilbert Swensen is 53 years old, born April 1847 (I realize 'Sven' is supposed to be born in May), wife is Emma and they have 4 children..names are hard to read...Severon, Clara, Lawrence, Joel and a nephew Sigur age 2. This Gilbert immigrated 1869...all the children were born in Minnesota.All for now! mvh Patty

Hei, I am trying to find norwegian contributors to the same family and it seems like I might succeed? I will keep you informed. I tried to follow the track of bygdebok for Svein to be in Colfax Wisconsin 1909 without success so far. I do understand we are operating on the boarder between Wisconsin and Minnesota with the locations? Anyhow Colfax has a genealogy homepage I did not have much success with since all links seems to end up in anchestry.com or equivalent? Lenke (Dunn County) 31% of this small town has norwegian origin! Back to Gilbert who most likely is a member of the family as outlined also by Arne but only a relative and not the brother of Jacob. I hope we all are confused at a higher level? Let us see if we get some help here from others and I find this still interesting! Arne have have you left us? Regards Arnulv

Hei igjen Arnulv! Just as a 'follow up'...Looks like this Gilbert Swensen and his family moved back to Wisconsin later on.In 1910 he and his wife 'Ingeborg' (I can tell this is the same person as 'Emma'...based on her age and year of immigration)... are living in Washington, Rusk County...just north of Chippewa. With them are their 4 children and a John 'Linage' (father-in law)...John's last name is hard to read.In 1920 Gilbert W. Swenson is age 72, Ingeborg is age 60...with them are Lawrence, Joel and Sigurd (the nephew).Even if these are not part of the family you are looking for, I felt I better give you the 'whole picture'...just in case it might be helpful.Sure I can accept that we are confused at a 'higher level'...vidunderlig...and a bit funny!I was searching in Dunn county 1910, with no luck...Am I right that it is Svend (brother to Jacob) who is supposed to be there in 1909...I wonder why you just called him Svein.mvh Patty

Hei, Yes it is Svend f 1847 who is supposed to have been in Colfax. Sorry about the name confusion about him- Seaching I find it common for people called Svendsen in Scandinavia also to call themselfs Swanson in USA and normaly you get loads of people with this name seaching. Carry on everthing might be useful in the end! Arnulv

Hei Arnulv! There is a pretty 'useful' website for info about Eau Claire genealogy: www.eauclaire.lib.wi.usAt that site you can search for marriages, obituaries and cemetery records under the genealogy 'heading'.I forgot to tell you that Gilbert and family were living in Eau Claire in 1920. The listing of him and Ingeborg can be found under the 'obituary' listing at the above website. Gilbert died Dec. 1922 and Ingeborg died June 1925. But to look at the obituary, you have to pay for it.Anyway, it says that Ingeborg's maiden name was 'Lyngeved'. Perhaps someone in Norway can find what family she came from? Then you might know (for sure??) who her husband, Gilbert is.Arnulv, I guess you are 'quite sure' that 'Gilbert' is not Svend?mvh Patty
