(Anne) Guri/Gurine Abrahamsdtr, f ca 1854

Legg inn av dn35567 » 11 feb 2018 03:37:28

We are searching for the roots of Guri Abrahamsdtr, f ca 1854 who emigrated to the US (Stoughton, WI), married in 1872 and in 1876 had a daughter named Anne Gurine.

One record suggest that Guri emigrated in 1868, so the 1865 census of all of Norway was searched and 5 candidates were found, 3 of which are from Søgne or nearby area, as listed below.

Unfortunately, I could not find emigration records for this time for all 3 women and I could not find them in the Vigmostadboka nor the Konsmoboka.

Does anyone have any other information on any of these women or can suggest other sources ot see if they emigrated or remained in Norway.

Takk skal De ha - De kan skrive på norsk.

In 1872, she married Anders Johnson Drogsvold in Wisconsin.

In Wisconsin, he was known as Andrew Drogsvold.

Unfortunately, we don't know where in Norway he was from.

Takk,

John

The name Drogsvold suggests that he might be from Voss, Hordaland.

Here is one Anders Johnsen Drøgsvold born 1847 departing for the US in 1857

Do you know Guri was from Søgne, since you are excluding your other two hits?

Hi Matthias ~

Oooh, that is a great lead on Anders. The year of emigration matches perfectly.

No, I am not excluding the other two women. I thought -- in my ignorance -- that they were all from the same area, since the community numbers were so close.

Which other areas should I be posting notes for the other two women?

Takk!

John

PS ~ Please, all, don't spend a lot of time on this yet. On Wednesday, I am going to our State Vital Records office to look up Guri's death certificate. Hopefully, it will list the names of her parents.

But, if someone has this woman in their family tree or can suggest places for me to look for data, that would be wonderful.

Hei Harald ~

Yes, that is the correct family. We have the US data, but are trying to find her home in Norway.

Takk,

John

PS ~ The data for the Herad are incorrect. There is no Herad of Dunn in Dane County (this is county I lived and worked for the County for 2 decades).

Instead, the herad is Dunkirk.

In addition to the three you mention, there are a few other candidates in the 1865 census, like Gurine Abrahamsdatter b.1855 in Christiansand

Guri Abrahamsdatter has been identified as Guri Olsdatter Bakke, daughter of Ole Abrahamsen from Nærøy, Sogn og Fjordane, here:
https://slektsforum.slektogdata.no/view ... highlight=

The land route from Nærøy to Bergen would have taken Guri straight through Drøgsvold in Vinje, Voss, so there is a logical connection between Guri and Anders

Matthias ~

You found her!!

I just found a new resource - storie om Udvandringen fra Voss og Vossingerne i Amerika, which was written in 1930 in Madison, WI and on page 511 it identifies her as Guri Bakke.

I also found this name for her on her husband's death certificate this morning. Her death certificate did not have either her maiden name nor her parents's names.

Thank you so, so much.

Let me know if I can ever return the favor by looking up records at our Wisconsin state vital records office.

Med beste hilsen,

John

Well, it was a good team effort!
Oddgeir asked the critical question about the husband’s name, which shifted the focus to Voss, with new sources from the US. And Sverre found Guri in the Aurland church books.

I can add that Ole Abrahamsen Bakke and his family, including 10 year old Guri, are recorded as leaving Aurland prestegjeld for America on April 16, 1861.

Wow, Matthias ~

What another great find to locate the out-migration records.

I owe you and the others big time!!

Thanks so, so much for all this wonderful help.

My best wishes,

John

Hi

There is a book called "Ættebok for Aurland fram til om lag 1900".

You find the family of Guri in this book and her ancestry.
Here is what is written about her parents and siblings:

Ole Abrahamsen Styvi married 1833 to Guri Knutsdatter Dyrdal born 1808.
The wife Guri is confirmated in Aurland 1823. She is supposed to have been born at Tufte by parents Knut and Guri. The church-book does not mention this. Husband and wife emigrated 1861.
Children:
Sjur b 1833 at Tuft
Anna b 1835 confirmated 1851
Ola b 1838 emigrated 1858
Peder b 1841 died 1845
Gunhild b 1843 emigrated 1861
Peder b 1846 emigrated 1861
Guri b 1851 emigrated 1861

Don't forget no 23 Sjur Olsen Tufte (son of Ole Abrahamsen) and his wife Ingeborg (24) and their son Ole (25) and no 26 Gunnild (daughter of Ole Abrahamsen) :)
