[#51164] Johannes Jensen family in Drammen (Stromgodset)

[Gjest Kara Gustafsson]

I have been researching my grandmother, Anna Marie Jensen's ancestors and descendants from Drammen. I have traced the Jensen, Andresen and Knudsen lines to relatives born in 1921. I am visiting Drammen in 2 weeks and would love to find the cemetery where Johannes Jensen b. 5 Nov 1851 is buried.

[Gjest Gunn Huglen]

I think that this must be your family in Strømsgodset, Vestfold county at that time. ( today it the area belongs to Buskerud Area) LenkeI will try to find the church they belonged to for you.Best regards from Gunn.

[Gjest Gunn Huglen]

Here i found Anna Marie baptised in 1895. Nr. 5 at the bottom of the page. The family lived on Nøstedodden. Lenke I will try to find more information. Gunn.

[Gjest Gunn Huglen]

Here I do hope you can get som information and picturres from Churches in Drammen: http://bu.disnorge.no/kirker/Drammen/kirker.htmIf the the graves are registrated on ' Gravminne registeret' there are posibilities to find the graves there.Do you know the daugthers married names, it will be easier to find their graves.Gunn

Hun het Dina. Kirkeboka for Bragernes etterlater ingen tvil om det. (MINI II 2 for Bragernes 1848-1859 (dp#136-1857).Med det samme jeg er igang: Nøsted eller Nøsteodden er ikke Strømsgodset, men heller Tangen. (Der Drammen Glassverk ligger/lå). Det hørte også til Skoger den gangen, men er nå en del av Drammen. Hvis familien fortsatte å bo på Nøsteodden vil jeg tro at Johannes og Dina ble begravet ved Skoger kirke eller muligens Tangen kirke.Mvh Kjell Hamberg

[Gjest Gunn Huglen]

Takk til deg Kjell! Ser at jeg har lest feil i 1. bokstav D for Dina i kirkebok ved vielsen i Bragernes kirke , innlegg 8. (DINA is obviosley the correct name.) Jeg er helt enig med deg at Strømsø eller Tangen kirkegårder er mulig begravelsesplasser, men ikke lett å vite hvor familien har bodd ved dødsfallene.En henvendelse til kirkevergen i Drammen vil forhåpentligvis kunne gi svar.Jeg fant ingen sikre ved søk på Dis gravminneregister. ( Det er flere Jensen familier, og noen med graver som er slettet.)Mvh. Gunn

Here you have Gina with her parents in 1865: LenkeGunn

[Gjest Gunn Huglen]

Here is probably Johannes Jensen with his parents in 1865 i Ø. Eiker? LenkeGunn

[Gjest Kara Gustafsson]

Dear Gunn- Many thanks for the links. Some of these I have already found. My main concern now is to actually be able to visit the place where my grandmother lived- Nøstodden, find the cemetary where her siblings are buried or find descendants. Her niece, Gerd Jensen b. 1921, lived near Drammen. I do not know her married name. I do have info on all of Anna Marie's siblings. I will post that separately.Unfortunately, I do not read Norwegian at all. So navigating some of these sites is difficult.Thank you so much for all of your help.

[Gjest Kjell Hamberg]

Kara! If you know for sure that Johannes and Dina lived at Nøstodden until their deaths, the nearby Tangen cemetery is probably the place, even if Tangen sorted under another parish at the time. (Johannes' and Dina's youngest daughter in 1900, Gudrun Lovise, died in Apr. 1906 at Nøstodden (Skoger parish), but was buried at Tangen cemetery, which I believe was Strømsø parish).Best regards Kjell Hamberg

[Gjest Gunn Huglen]

Thanks to you Kjell! Here you have the churchbook , Ministerialbok II 8 , Per. 1902-1933.nr. 9 LenkeShe died from ( Hjernebetennelse) Brain fever, inflamation of the brain. dead 10 Apr , burried 18 Apr. in Tangen cementery.Best regards from Gunn.

[Gjest Kara Gustafsson]

how do I find Nøstodden? Is that considered the 'farm'? I will be in Oslo in early august and would like to visit these cemeteries. thanks to you both for all of this help.

[Gjest Gunn Huglen]

I am not sure this map will help?LenkeNØSTESTRANDA and Nøsteveien you find in BRAGERNES part og Drammen. Tangen is on the other side of the river, Drammenselva. Part STRØMSØ in Drammen.Do hope you will get a better map when you visit Drammen.Gunn

[Gjest Gunn Huglen]

Try to contact the lokal turist information, they probably can help you to find the places.Best regards from Gunn.

[Gjest Tormod Thoresen]

Hello. I'm living close to Nøsted. It's not Nøsteveien , that's another Nøsted in Drammen ,called Vestre- Nøsted. ( The Nøsted West) I'm pretty sure that Nøsteodden is no more. I have never heard about it. I have been living in the same area in 33 years. I could ask other people tomorrow about Nøsteodden.Take care! Regards from Drammen Tormod

[Gjest Kjell Hamberg]

Gunn! Nøstodden is NOT located on the Bragernes (northern) side! It's on the southern bank, about half a mile from Tangen cemetery in the direction of Svelvik; midway between Tangen and Solumstrand and right where the glass factory is located.(I'm not good in making links, but Nøstodden is marked on the same map as Gunn referred to - just go south to the southern bank from her map reference.Best regards Kjell Hamberg

[Gjest Gunn Huglen]

Thanks to Kjell! i should have remembered. My parents lived in that area before I was born. Near the Glass factory.I think here is a map to Tangen Churchyard: Lenke,+DRAMMEN,+TettstedBest regards from Gunn.
