Emigrant til USA

[Odd Handegård]

Jeg står fast i Digitalarkivet etter fire forsøk, men håper at rutinen her kanskje kan hjelpe meg videre: Jeg ser altså etter en "Carrie" (skal vel være Kari) som antas født i Oslo den 25. mai 1866, og hvis far skal ha hett Peter, og en bror."Brent". Jeg har sjekket folketellingen i 1875 og diverse emigrantoversikter, uten resultat. Kan noen hjelpe meg et skritt videre?

 

Grunnen til spørsmålet, er en mail fra et treff på FTDNA: "Thank you for responding to my email.  I think it is just so interesting to find someone you know is a cousin, however distant.  

 

My father's mother's mother was from Norway.  What we have is that Carrie was said her last name was Petersdotter.  She married Nels Hanson (b. Sweden) in Manistee Michigan in 1899.  Her father was either Peter Bjorson or Peter Jergeson.  She listed them as her father--one on her first marriage application and the other on her second marriage application.  We believe she had a brother Brent (b. Dec 1848 Norway) who came to America and lived and died (1908) in Manistee Michigan.  He was also known as Byron, Berent, Berant and married a Mina Gustavson in Nov. 1877.

 

Carrie was born in OIso on 25 May 1866 and died in Seattle, WA in 1937.   We do know they followed the Lutheran Church in Manistee as children were baptized there.

 

That is all we know about this family.
