Emigrants

So far the only connection I have found between Ole Østensen and Gittlaug Trulsdatter is that both seem to have been confirmed in Kristiansand. 

 

Ole confirmed in 1887. At age 25, that seems a little late in life?

Also Ole lived in Kristiansand in 1885.

When Ole was 39, he left Oslo for America.

In 1900 Census, he was living in Hovin, Telemark.

Beklager - så nå at Ragnhild døde i 1953. Men Ole, Lars og Østen finner jeg ikke begravelsesåret på. Har lett under "findagrave", men mulig de har byttet navn. Tenkte muligens at de lå begravet i Roseau county siden de bodde her. 

 

Some information on Østen might be useful. 

 

In 1905 Minnesota Census Østen is living with his wife and two children in Roseau County.

Estimated Birth Year:abt 1876

Race:White

Father's Birth Location:Norway

By the 1910 Census it is likely that the younger Østen has died as his wife  and two children are living with the older Østen Bratrud.

and by 1916 wife and children are living in Canada.

I did not find Østen in "Minnesota, Death Index, 1908-2017" so he may have died between 1905 and 1908 in Roseau County.

Thanks for your help.

 

Is there any good source of information to see whether Ole returned to Norway?  I can see quite a few sources of information for people who left Norway but I do not see any sources showing people who returned.

 

For the United States, I cannot see that Ole registered for the World War I draft.  I know that does not necessarily mean anything, but it could mean that he left the U.S. before 1918.

Not many sources available around 1900 for people leaving US for Norway or for anywhere for that matter. I have used the 

 

"U.S., Departing Passenger and Crew Lists, 1914-1966" on Ancestry but have never had much luck.  The title states Passengers but all I have ever found were Crew Members. 

 

You can also search the Immigration & Travel search site and put in a year in the Departure slot. Also not very much luck using that either.

Hi

Ole O. Bratrud left New York 6 mai 1911 with the ship Lasitania. He left New York with his parents Østen Olsen Bratrud and Astri J. Bratrud. Lasitania saild to Liverpool. According to the passenger list they are sailing to Christiania in Norway. But I can not find that they arrived Christiana. Possible they arrived Kristiansand?

Østen Olsen Bratrud and Astri went back to USA, but I dont know when. Ole was shoemaker in cencus 1900 in Hovin in Telemark, Norway. In Minnesota he ownd a farm in 1910.

Brynjulf, I apologize for being so late in thanking you for the new information.  I have been researching Swedish relatives and forgot to come back to check this site.
