Sjå side 838, Nr. 80 g.

 

Her står det at søstera Gerda vart gift andre gong med ein skotte Oscar Bentson, men denne Oscar BENSON synes å ha foreldre frå Noreg (ifølge slektstre på Ancestry var dei fra Eidsvoll/Feiring). Gerda fekk to barn med Oscar, nemleg Norman Arthur og Raymond Oscar.

 

Sigvald vart gift med ei søster for Oscar Benson, Mabel Julia Benson (ho først gift med A. Oolman).

Er det mogeleg å finne att den yngste broren til Gerhard Martinusson, 1860-1938, nemleg Johan Matias aka Matias f. 9.6.1863 (https://www.digitalarkivet.no/view/255/pd00000014751001) ? Han drog til USA i 1887, ifølge bygdeboka: https://www.digitalarkivet.no/view/8/pe00000000677771. Han var heime i 1910: https://www.digitalarkivet.no/view/8/pe00000000726398 - bustad: WA

Kan det vere han (Mathias) vi finn att i Alaska i 1910: https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&dbid=7884&h=31343260&tid=158671055&pid=352235750254&queryId=c60a35285e2fd03f63b0e5044ebf699e&usePUB=true&_phsrc=vlV51&_phstart=successSource ?

 

Og han (Mathias) som bur saman med nevøen sin Karl Gerhardsen i 1920: https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&dbid=6061&h=70966936&tid=158671055&pid=352235750254&queryId=c60a35285e2fd03f63b0e5044ebf699e&usePUB=true&_phsrc=vlV51&_phstart=successSource ?

Far er Gerhard Martinuson? Er fødselsåret 1893 eller 1895?

1895. Sjå følgjande debatt...

 

[Alf Strand]

Hjarteleg takk til Gisle og Anton for gode innspel. No må eg sortere alle opplysningane eg har fått slik at eg får oversikt. Det er rett at fødselsdatoen til Sigvald er 09.03.1895. Han hadde ein bror med same namn fødd i 1893, men han døydde før "vår" Sigvald vart fødd.

 

Mvh

Alf

[Alf Strand]

Eg har dessverre kkje tilgang til ancestry.com, så eg kan ikkje svare på spørsmåla dine, Gisle. Men i utgangspunktet høyrest det sannsynleg ut. Derimot har eg eit par andre spørsmål når vi fyrst er i gang: Gerda Gerhardsdtr. f.10.05.1888, utvandra 02.03.1912. Veit vi noko meir om henne og det fyrste ekteskapet hennar? Og korleis kjem Finn Jacob Larsen inn i biletet?

Takk for oppklarande innlegg. Dette var nytt for meg. La meg summera opp: Gerda Folkestad reiser til sin far i Worthington, Minnesota 2, mars 1912. Ho er komen tilbake til gamlelandet seinast i  1914, for det året, den 15. desember gifter ho seg med gullsmed Alf Andreas Larsen. Dei får sonen Finn Jakob 1915. Finn og mora reiser til USA 25.05.1921. Reisemålet er faren hennar i Adrian, Minnesota. Så får eg sjå nærare på andre ekteskapet hennar seinare.

 

Mvh Alf
