I know I've been saying this a lot, but I'm so grateful for all the help.  

 

Probably a stupid question, but I received the information about Tore Thorson, is that the one who was a sister/brother to my Great-Grandpa and Jorine?  Knute and Dorothea's listed as having 3 children (below).  I had no information on Tore at all, as you can see.

 

1-JORINE "LENA" CECELIA KNUTSON: b. March 17, 1867, Norway; d December 29, 1964, Ohio
2-LAURITZ (LEWIS) KNUTSON: b. December 25, 1870, Norway; d. April 07, 1956, Soldiers Grove, WI
3-TORE THORESON KNUTSON: b. Unknown

I don't think Randi Elisabeth has been able to find further information about him?

[Sherry Knutson Kuelz]

That's right, thank you for the reminder, Jostein Stokke, I keep forgetting Lauritz was the 2nd child, Thore was the 3rd and Jorine was the firstborn.  I wonder what happened to Thore, why he didn't go to the USA with his older brother and sister (Lauritz and Jorine), that's really got me curious.  I also wonder if Cecilie was also his caretaker after my Great-Grandparents drown.

She was - quoted from post # 24 /Randi Elisabeth:

Census 1875, Jorine and her brother Thore in Stavanger. They do not live with  aunt Astrid in 1875.

[Sherry Knutson Kuelz]

Can you tell I need more sleep, thank you, again, Jostein.  

 

Do you have any idea of the date that my Grandfather and Jorine came to the USA, my Dad thought Knute was 2 years old, my aunt thought he was 9, there's been such a variety, and because the records were lost when the building at Ellis Island burned down, we can't find anything on their travel here.  Thore had to have stayed with Cecilie and not went with his brother and sister, that's strange.

 

[Randi Elisabeth Haugros]

1. Thore, born 1865, lived with aunt Cecilie Ommundsen in 1875, in Stavanger.

 

2. Jorine Cecilie, born 1867 lived with aunt Cecilie Ommundsen in 1875, in Stavanger.

 

3. Lauritz, born 1869,  lived with aunt Astrid Thorsdatter in  1875, in Årdal in Ryfylke.

 

Sisela/Cecilie was Dorthe Hertervig's sister.

 

Astrid  was Knut Thorsen's sister.

Wow, now I know that's my Grandfather as he Married Emma, but now I'm curious about the 3 kids, as none of them are listed on our family tree....could they have been her children before marriage?  Thank you for posting what is said on the Ancestry.com site (I can't get into it and currently can't afford a membership, however my Mother may pay for it)

Back to Norway, 

Lauritz (Johannes) Knutsen. His baptismrecords is found, in St. Petri Churchbook.

But I can't find his confirmationsrecord, not in Domkirken, Stavanger, St. Petri, Stavanger or Årdal/Hjelmeland.

 

And why Johannes? The birth record says Lauritz, not Lauritz Johannes? Entry 113:

SAST, St. Petri sokneprestkontor, 30/30BA/L0008: Parish register (official) no. A 8, 1868-1876, p. 69

Grandpa Knutson's middle name was Johannes (from what we found), my Dad's middle name was believed to be Johannes, at least until we found his baptism certificate and it had Johan for his middle name.  Thank you for posting what is said on the Ancestry.com site, also.  

 

I also knew Tillman, and Tolene, I believe the others, most of them, were known by nicknames, which explains why I don't recognize them.  I don't think they used their real names, for the most part. 

[Sherry Knutson Kuelz]

I'm guessing we're stuck for any relatives in Norway beyond  1906.  I do want to thank you all for you're help, this is further than I've ever gotten and I'm so grateful.

[Sherry Knutson]

I looked at the ship log which was posted here, and that's for a Jorine Thorson, Jorine's name, I believe, would have been Jorine Knutson, though I'm not 100% sure.  my G-Grandfather's last name was Lauritz Knutson, so I'm guessing hers would have had the same last name. 

 

Can someone please let me know if I'm thinking right?  I was told the records from when they came into the USA, Ellis Island, were destroyed in a fire, and I have no idea if they were ever recovered.  

 

Thanks, everyone.
