Ole Olsen Skifterud frå Tinn - sakna i Amerika

[Haldis Skårberg]

Ole Olsen Skifterud - som er grandonkelen min - reiste til Amerika i 1903 og etter det eg veit har ingen høyrt i frå han. Eg skulle gjerne ha visst kva som kan ha skjedd med Ole. 

Historien er slik: Ole Olsen kom til verden 24. juli 1882, på Fisholt. Han var den fyrstefødde til Aslaug Johnsdotter Fisholt og Ole Jørgensen Kolbeinsrudplassen. Far hadde 2 månedar før omkome i ei fløtningsulykke i Austbygdelva. 

8 år seinare giftar mor seg på nytt med Ole Sondresen Skifterud og dei får 6 ungar. I 1891  bur Ole på Fisholt med gomo si. 

21. august 1903 emigrerar han til Amerika. Da kallar han seg Ole Olsen Skifterud. Han kjem i land i Boston 2. september. På skipslista står det at han skal til uncle Kittel Johnsen (Charles Tverberg) i Forston, Minnesota. I Boston stoppar alle spor.

Det blei sagt at her heime høyrde dei aldri meir i frå han, men han er nemnt i skiftet etter mor si, som døyr 1927.

Han hadde 3 onklar i Minnesota. Sondre, John og Kittel (Charles). Dei var frå Tverberg. Eg tenkte han kunne ha teke namnet Tverberg, men finn ikkje noko. Dersom han har kalla seg Ole Olsen, so er det mange å ta av. Eg tenker det som er mest truleg er at han har blitt sjuk/forulykka og døydd ikkje lenge etter ankomst. Veit heller ikkje om han traff uncle Kittel som han skulle besøke. 

Er det nokon som har tips?

Mvh Haldis Skårberg

Rettelsar: Sondre, John og Kittel var frå Fisholt, men dei kalla seg Tverberg for mor kom der i frå.

[Jackie K Marler]

Okay.  This family tree has Sondre, John and Kittel Tverberg and says they were born in Dane county, Wisconsin.

Yes, it`s not them, but they are related to Ole Olsen.

[Haldis Skårberg]

Sondre was born 1860, Charles (Kittel) was born 1868 and Halvor was born 1855. They emigrated to USA. John stayed home and died young, but also his son emigrated. I know about the three brothers. They had many children, and they lived in Minnesota.

A langskudd. Fødested er Minnesota, ikke Norge. Fødselsåret er feil, 1884, og fylket er Clay, ikke Polk, men i nærheten av Polk. Nr 63?

Obit of Charles Tverberg b 1868 but who lived in Fosston:

Of course, Ole Olson is a common name but this fellow is right age and also came in 1903:

"United States, Census, 1910", FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MPKN-QQN : Mon Jan 20 21:00:11 UTC 2025), Entry for , 1910.

I did not find  a useable link. Can you give more information so I could look at what you are seeing and also see what I can find on Ancestry.com on this fellow 

 

Never mind I found it.

This is standard practice at familysearch.org to include the link in the citation which I copied.  It goes to their text and from there you can click on the image and get that.

Ole Olson as a labour in Wisconin could very well be my grand uncle. Yes.
