In search of information on ALF LINDO, born 1894 in Haugesund and married my 1st cousin 2x removed Aslaug Knudsen Hauge

[Barbara Scates]

I am presenting the forum with another mystery. In the five years I have been researching my ancestors it is almost impossible, even on The Digital Archive, to find information on the entire Lindo family. What is curious is that this family was in the shipbuilding business and were not common folk. I have been able to gather easy information, birth and so on but nothing that is intricate. I would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction. I am enclosing a screen shot of his profile on my Ancestry page - which is public - bs796. When my grandmother, Thelma Johnson Currie (mother Ditlofa Albertine Moller) was ill she wrote down some information on her Norwegian ancestors and mentioned the sons had visited her in the US. 

 

Any help will be appreciated.......

Svend Lindø married in Haugesund in 1891:

The 1920 Census for Haugesund says that Svend was born on January 5th 1862 in Tysvær (Tysvaer) parish in Rogaland county.

 

This must be the birth and baptism record for Svend - entry no. 5:

Svend Lindø died in 1935 and here is an obituary in the newspaper Haugesund Dagblad on December 12th 1935:

 

[Barbara Scates]

Grethe, thank you so much. You must have the touch! I kept searching for Alf - in fact I am been doing it most of the day on this site. I was about to try for Svend and wow - saw your response.

 

Thank you so much. I am striving for the perfect tree with no mistakes. Like one of the researchers on this site taught me - do not accept all the hints that are given on Ancestry. I like to back everything up with hard evidence. I am over the top with the newspaper article you sent me. 

 

Have a wonderful safe day Grethe!

But sometimes the hints are correct and you can use them if you also check the original records. Ikke sant. It also allows you to pick up more information, such as the fathers of the bride and groom.

Hi Anton! Been a long time. I have really come a long way since we last "chatted". You're a good teacher. Thank you for adding the above information. 

 

I decided to ask the forum for help on things I just could not find. Alf Lindo is the hard one in that family. I knew they had to be in Norway. I even used different spellings of the last name.

 

Many thanks!

Oh wow thank you Lars! Aslaug is my 1st cousin 2X removed! I really like to add things like obituaries and photos to my profile of my ancestors. Much appreciated! Can you suggest a site where I might be able to find photos of Alf Lindo and other relatives? Since he was in the shipping business I was hoping there might be some information. My grandmother left a lot of photos with people in them that I do not know who they are. Alf, Aslaug and the children visited about 1930 or a year or two before.

[Lars Kittilsen]

Try nb.no

It’s important to search with quotation marks "..."
(Example: "Alf Lindø", "Alf Lindo")

[Abbi]

 I am Aslaug & Alf’s grandchild. They had two sons, Svein August and Sverre Kristian, both dead (as can be seen on the tomb stone photo above). My dad was the youngest, Sverre Kristian (b 1925, d 2004). My siblings are Aslaug (b 1955) and Alf (b 1956). 

Tried to post a photo of my grandparents on this page via my iPad, but unfortunately didn't find out how to do this.

[Barbara Scates]

Oh my goodness!!!! My email address is bs7@comcast.net. Please write to me Abbi! Were you named after Albertine, Aslaug's sister? Her nickname was Abbi. She would send postcards to my grandmother, Thelma whose mother was Ditlofa Albertine Moller. I have some pictures that you might be able to identify who they are.  I am so excited....

 

Your long lost relative, Barbara

 

 

 

[Barbara Scates]

Here is a picture of a man that might be Svein. My grandmother said he visited her and the family in New Jersey before he passed

[Abbi]

Hi Barbara, I do not recognise the man in the top photo. The one below, however, is a gorgeous photo of my farmor (grandmother), ie Aslaug (left), her mum, her sister Abbi (right), and her sister Johanna (called Jo) behind them. I have not seen this photo before, I think. But my sister Aslaug has all the photo albums after our farmor, being named after her. I’m named after my mormor (grandmother on mother’s side), also called Albertine, nick named Abbi. Abbi in this photo ran a shop in Haugesund bearing her name, «Abbi Hauge», selling women’s lingerie. I cannot remember her, she died early. But I remember «moster Jo», as my dad called her, I think she died when I was around 6. My farmor died when I was 12.
