[#68699] Abraham Abrahamsen Eitland

[Gjest Gordon Ryersen]

Hello, I am looking for information about him, his wife and children. His children were Abraham, Pauline(born 1892), Adolph, and Sara who was married to Remine Apeland. In the Svinor book by Guldbransen in the Reiersen house there, she is noted by husband Thorleif Reiersen, it says Pauline was from Austad. Any help is appreciated!

[Gjest Berit Knudsen]

Could this be the family in 1900? Lenke

[Gjest Gordon Ryersen]

Looks like this may be them. I was off on the date of Pauline, and could not find her, as I took it from a 1930 USA census record for Thorleif and Pauline Reiersen in Staten Island, Richmond, NY. Many thanks Berit!!

[Gjest Berit Knudsen]

I belive this is the wedding of Abraham and Rebine May 27. 1875 Austad, Lyngdal, Vest-Agder (VA) No.7 [url="http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=6203&idx_id=6203&uid=ny&idx_side=-129>LenkeI belive this is Abraham in 1865 LenkeAnd this must be Rebine Gundersdatter in 1865

Hi, With your help, I found the immigration records for Abraham and Gabriel, it says Gabriel was born in Farsund, maybe the records are there for their birth??? Tusen takk.

[Gjest Berit Knudsen]

Strange, but I have found only 1 child: Anna Berdine born Dec. 12 1876 and bapt. Jan.14 1877 in Lyngdal. Maybe she emmigrated to America, because she got an Attest 25/4 91. I have searched the churchrecords for Lyngdal-Austad 1875-1885 and Lyngdal 1877-1882 and no children.

[Gjest Gordon Ryersen]

hi Berit, I am not having any luck either. Is it possible she did not register her births with the church? Have you ever heard of that? Thanks again Berit for all of your searching. Thanks to all of the others who looked also!!!!

[Gjest Berit Knudsen]

I have been looking 1877-1882 in Farsund and Vanse, and nothing. I must be looking the wrong places.

The fathers name is shown as Abraham Andreassen not Abrahamsen.Did Abraham use 2 names? Gordon says his name is Abraham Abrahamsen Eitland?Ron

Hi all, Pauline was also known here in the USA as (maiden name)Pauline Anderson, according to her daughter who is still alive. She said that the brothers used Abrahamsen. This little bit of information may help. Tusen Takk!!!!!!!

[Gjest Gordon Ryersen]

Also, the daughter of Pauline says that Pauline's brother and father both used the name Abraham Abrahamsen. I can also see that in the 1930 USA census on Ancestry.com, the brother in law Abraham Abrahamsen is listed as living with Thorleif and Pauline Reiersen.

Pauline Elisabeth conf.9 Oct.1904 Austad b.6 Sept.1890 ( Hautland? )chr.14 Sept 1890 Herad-Spind? I could not find her in the records Gordon.Ron

[Gjest Ron Berg-Iverson]

Abraham Andreassen b.28 May 1844 Eitland chr.23 June 1844 Andreas Aslagsen ( Aslaksen ) & Cathrine Pedersdtr Found in Austad church book. When you are researching in Norway use the names that are found in the church records.Names were changed when they went to the US and Canada.Pauline Abrahamsdtr. would become Pauline Abrahamsen or Abrahamson for example.Her brother would remain Abraham Abrahamsen.Also many emigrants used the farm name in Norway as a surname.This leads to a lot of searching farms with the same name!! Ron

[Gjest Gordon Ryersen]

Hi Ron and Berit, Thank you both for trying so hard. Do you think they were moving from place to place over the years in Southern Norway??

[Gjest Ron Berg-Iverson]

Gordon,I forgot to mention about Pauline using Anderson? No doubt she used her fathers last name Andreasen which is also Andersen ( Anders & Andreas often confused )

[Gjest Ron Berg-Iverson]

I doubt they moved around Gordon.Abraham Andreassen was born 1844 in Eitland and was still there in 1900. You could probably find his father or mother around there before that.

Andreas Aslagsen f.Eitland age 33 marr.4 Aug.1835 Austad Berte Catrine Pedersdtr.( Hausevig? ) age 31 So Andreas was born in Eitland ( Eidland )

Gunil,Esters mother is enke Gunna in 1801 Eitland Torchil Nielssen age 60 is possibly Aslaks father?

[Gjest Gordon Ryersen]

Ron, do you think that Pauline is simply forgotten in the registers regarding her birth, or is your best guess that she is mis-filed? Have you ever had another that the birth record is not found? Just your best educated guess.
