Emigrant Helene Olsdatter Braatevolden/Toten

[Kai Rune Olsen]

Søker etter Helene Olsdatter Braatevolden (Hexum søndre, Vestre Toten) født 9.aigust 1844. Datter av Ole Hansen Braatevolden f 1809 og Marte Larsdatter Gamme f 1806. Helene fikk 2 barn med to forskjellige menn (barna Ole Peder Hansen 1862 og Mina Olsdatter 1865), men lot begge barna bli igjen hos besteforeldre og dro selv til Amerika. Vet at hun dro fra Oslo 5/5-1869 med Helvetia til Quebec, Canada. Der forsvinner alle spor.. Hennes onkel Hans Hansen Grevløs Stenberg f 1816, dro 3 år tidligere med hele familien og bosatte seg i Radcliffe, Iowa. Kanskje Helene bosatte seg i nærheten? Noen som vet hva som skjedde med Helene eller kan hjelpe meg å finne henne?

Ja, her stopper også mitt søk etter Helene. Det er vanskelig å søke videre ettersom det virker som om hun reiste alene og at jeg ikke aner navnet hun tok der borte.

Alernativer er Hansen(farens etternavn), Hanson (det navnet tok onkelen da han kom over), Braatevolden er vel ikke så aktuelt, mens Hexum/Heksum er ett alternativ.

Hun passer godt med den fødselsdatoen, men skulle gjerne sett noe dokumentasjon på foreldrenes navn.

Kjenner man til om dette paret nr. 29 - Christian Johannessen og Ingeborg Pedersdatter hadde noen slags relasjon til Helene?

Kildeinformasjon: Oppland fylke, Vardal, Ministerialbok nr. 5 (1831-1853), Ekteviede 1852, side 227.

Permanent sidelenke: http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=8948&idx_id=8948&uid=ny&idx_side=-214

Permanent bildelenke: http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:NBN:no-a1450-kb20070201650627.jpg

 

Av div. kilder på nettet ser jeg at de skal ha slått seg ned i Rock Run, Stephenson og i 1900 er det vel Christian jeg finner som enkemann bosatt hos sønnen Morris. Tenkte at det kanskje kunne være en sammenheg her.

[Kai Rune Olsen]

Først vil jeg takke alle som har bidratt til å løse denne nøtta. Det hjelper noen ganger at andre tar en kikk, og så løsner det. Er 100% sikker på at dette er riktig Helene som er funnet. Ettersom vi ikke visste om hun dro alene eller sammen med andre, var det vanskelig å knytte henne til noen andre.

MEN når en kikker bedre på lista over passasjerer med Helvetia i mai 1869, ser en jo at skomaker Ole Christian Olsen(langt oppe på lista nr 9) stemmer med den Ole Chr som er funnet i Illinois. Stemmer med alder/fødested (Voldsæter).

 

Min søken etter Helene har dermed eksplodert i nye personer å gripe fatt i :)

 

Når det gjelder Christian Johannessen og Ingeborg Pedersdatter som det spørres om, så er disse iallefall ikke i slekt med Helene, kanskje med Ole Christian. Kjenner ikke navnene dessverre

 

Noen som finner mer...så er jeg takknemlig :)
