Ekteparet Crist (Christian) Benson fra Solør og Marion (Maren) Knutsen fra Gran, Hadeland emigrert til Nord Dakota – finne igjen i norske kilder?

[Jackie K Marler]

Also Findagrave finds no Christian Bentsen in the same cemetery as Amalia.

 

1888-1889 City Directory has a Christian Benson living at the same address as for Amalia's burial record 919 29th Ave S.  His occupation is machine hand at Simonson Bros. Manufacturing Co.  He is still there in the 1891-1892 directory.

 

A Hjalmer Brastad is also in Minneapolis in the 1885-1886 directory working at the same place as Christian, working as blacksmith.

 

Interesting Hjalmer had a son named Einar Oluf Brastad who married a distant cousin of mine from Norderhov--Anna Olava Gulbrandsdatter.

 

And Hjalmer and his family are on line 1598 on the same page as Christian and Amalie passenger list.

My apologies for duplication but I wonder if more follow up is in order?

The website that I use to post screenshots is down today, but the transcription could be wrong as his name looks to me as Christian Bend? age 27 place could be Valdres?
