Blanche Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 I'm actually doing research based on my family genealogy but I can't read the archives online because I can't read in your language, is there someone who could help me translate? I would be very grateful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Biberg Kristensen Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 Blanche, this is a far too general way to ask for help. If you could provide us with some names, places, and dates, we may be able to help you. Blanche and Torbjørn Igelkjøn 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanche Posted October 3 Author Share Posted October 3 I'm searching on the side of my great grand mother, and someone from larvik is in my genealogy, his name is Anton Hansen, born the 9th June 1851, his mother is Annelia naltisen and his father Martinium Hansen, I don't have any date for these two, but Anton Hansen is from larvik, he run away from war on what I know and he ended in Quebec and had a child with my great great grandmother in 1888 in Quebec, I'm trying to find if he had sisters/brothers who also had child, trying to find maybe some family still in larvik and also wanting to know more about his family line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Biberg Kristensen Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 (edited) Hmmm. I've searched for the baptism of Anton in and around Larvik without success so far. Do you have a link to any source for his birth or his parents? His father's name may have been Martinius, surely not Martinium which is not a Norwegian name. His mother's given name may have been "Annelia" or something similar. but "Naltisen" sounds completely unfamiliar. Edit: Also, I wonder which war he may have run away from. Norway was not involved in any war between 1814 and 1940. Edited October 3 by Leif Biberg Kristensen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mother's patronym Mathisdatter ("Mathisen") may well have been garbled into "Naltisen". I hadn't looked into Tjølling yet, but it's quite close to Larvik.

Kristian Hunskaar (privat) Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 The heirs of Anne Mathisdatter, also known as Anne Hansen Østby, were her daughter Amalie Hansen and her daughter Hermine Hansen's son Magnus Nilsen: https://www.digitalarkivet.no/sk60098638000232 Hence, the two other children, Mette Martine and Hans Anton, were dead - or at least assumed to be dead.

Blanche Posted October 3 Author Share Posted October 3 Martinium Hansen and Annelia naltisen are in Quebec archive but just named as the parents of Anton Hansen who changed his name to be Charles Wilson, but thank to yours help I think I might have found something, maybe annelia was wrongly registered, same for martinium, but with some of the information concordance, I might have found them, thank you so much, if you find anything else I'll gladly take it, once more, thank you so much!

Only Anton's two sisters Amalie and Hermine were named, Apparently, Anton was assumed dead. He has probably left Norway without leaving a trace.

I just know that he had a child with my great great grandmother in 1888, we don't have much information about him except for the fact he came from larvik, his birthdate and the fact that he run away from war, if he was hiding, he was very good at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif Biberg Kristensen Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 It's an interesting story. He may have run away from a war, but that war was probably fought on the North-American continent. The fact that his parents' names are known and correlate well with what Ketil have found in Tjølling, seems to mean that he had no intention of hiding his Norwegian roots. Yet he had no contact with his mother or sisters, and when his mother died in 1904 he seems to have been assumed dead without issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Biberg Kristensen Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 There is one important point to make here: If his child with your great-great-grandmother in 1888 was born out of wedlock, this child had no right to inheritance after her father according to Norwegian law before 1924. So, theoretically speaking, the 1904 probate would not have mentioned Anton if he was then known to have died without legitimate children.

The child was born legitimately, just, at the time, he was no longer called Anton Hansen but Charles Wilson, and the child took the name Wilson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it looks like he really had no contact with the folks back home. I still think Ketil has the right family, even if he was not named in his mother's probate in 1904.

It fit with what I had as information so I think I found them, sadly, I can't find anything further than the grand father of Anton, and there is very little information, I can't even find the mother of Anne Mathiasdtr or martinis Hansen, it's strange, like they don't have mother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the crucial point was/is to assert Anton's parents with any confidence. It's now late night in Norway. I bet that we'll see more tomorrow.

Anton Hagelee Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 (edited) This looks like your Charles Wilson in the 1931 Canadian Census. The emigration year is incorrect, Probably is 1870.
