[#4707] Hamnaes

[Gjest Brent Mikkelsen]

Where is Hamnaes? What count and Parish would it be in?

[Gjest Kjell Hamberg]

I believe Hamnes might be a small farming/fishing community near Namsos in Nord-Trøndelag county. (possibly Namsos parish).Kjell Hamberg

[Gjest Åse K. Kristiansen,]

There's a Hamnes in Troms county, Northern Norway, also written Havnnes. For further info. and help in translating words, you are free to mail me directly: aasekkr@online.no With kind regards Åse Kr.

[Gjest TERJE LILLEVIK]

There is two farms called Hamnes in the Balsfjord parish. Give me a name of person, and I will make a searched. Terry

[Gjest Lars Johannessen]

If you look up under "useful links" (here in DA): O. Ryghs Norwegian Farm Names, you will find four farms named Hamnes, two in Nordlands amt, one i Nordre Trondhjems amt, and one in Romsdals amt (amt = former county)

[Gjest Tor Ålbu]

Hamnes is a place (and farm) in Surnadal, Møre og Romsdal County. Former situated in Stangvik prestegjeld (Parish).

It is a person here on this side who wonder if anyone knows where the place Monistex, Wis. is in USA. Can you help him?

[Gjest Kjell Hamberg]

Ref. my answer in item #2542: To my opinion, Monistex is a linguistic misinterpretation of Manistique. The fact that Manistique is in Michigan and not in Wisconsin might be a geographical mixup in the emigration records for Sør-Odal.Kjell H

The person I am looking for is Malena Johnsdatter. The 1865 census lists her birthplace as Hamnaes with a question mark(?) Also the a nd e are together as if it one letter. My english keyboard can't type this letter. (I don't think so at least) As for Monistex Wisconsin, I have not heard of it and neither has anyone else I know. Many of the towns in Wisconsin have Native American (Indian) and French names. Such as Monona, Mosinee, Mequon. Sorry.

[Gjest Berit Knudsen]

thank you for your answer. Malene is in the 1865 census you say, but do you know in which place you found her. It is a place named Hemnes in Nordland.

[Gjest Brent Mikkelsen]

Malena Johnsdatter was found in the 1865-telling for 1246 Fjell

[Gjest Berit Knudsen]

Fjell is in Hordaland. She was born in Hamnæs prestegjeld (parish)? I belive you should look for her in Hemnes. In 1801 you can find Hemnes under Ranen parish and in 1865 I belive the parish had changed name to Mo.

[Gjest Dag Brodin]

Hello everybody I agree with Berit, that it is Hemnes in Nordland, but it is not Ranen Parish, but Heimnes in the 1865 census. However, you will have to go to the church-records to see if you can find Malena there, I can event. look it up sometimes if it is difficult for you.greetings Dag

Hello Intelligent! Maybe you could tell us how you came to this conclusion.
