[#6870] Herman Marcus Julius Halvorsen & Halvor Mikkelsen

[Gjest Arne Mikal Mikkelsen]

Hei Alle,My great grandfather Herman Marcus Julius Halvorsen was born in (Oslo) Christiana 1842. His father was Halvor mikkelsen Abelsted (Abelstad?) I would like help on how to find records for his family if possible. Herman moved to Karmoy & worked in the kupper mines in Avaldsnes he died in 1898. I found a Halvor Mikkelsen in the 1865 census in the gard Gjermundrødrønningen, in Andebo Sogn. Listed as divorced and a lodger. This may be Marcus father?My question is there a way to find information on people born in Oslo? Tusen takkArne Mikal Mikkelsen

Some of the chuchbooks from Oslo are registrated in FamilySearch.I found one Halvor Mikkelsen in 1801 cencus: Buskerud, Kongsberg, Trollemoen. He was 6 years old an his father was working in the silvermine. His age is 42. His mother was Gunnild Kittilsdtr., 38 years old. He had 2 sisters: Gundbiør-Maria, 9 and Ingeborg-Kristine.Do you have more information about the family?
