Otto Anton Jamesen

[Mark Jamesen]

Seeking information about my great grandfather, Otto Anton Jamesen, who was born on April 23, 1860 in Norway and died February 5, 1911 in Minneapolis, MN

[Ivar S. Ertesvåg]

Welcome to the forum!

 

"Jamesen" is not a Norwegian name - presumably changed at immigration.

You do not know where in Norway?

 

Anyhow,

here is a candidate (No. 56): 

Jevnaker prestekontor, AV/SAH-PREST-116/H/Ha/Haa/L0007: Ministerialbok nr. 7, 1858-1876, s. 15
Brukslenke for sidevisning: https://www.digitalarkivet.no/kb20070205640200

 

birth date one day in difference;  24 April (1860)

Jenssen might well have become "Jamesen"

 

Emmigration: https://www.digitalarkivet.no/view/291/pu00000000022952

(with parents, click at the date, and then "forrige"/"previous")

Or maybe you know some of the descendants registered here?
