Kraft family - Hammerfest

Legg inn av gj09923 » 01 sep 2009 05:04:01

Please excuse this in English. I do not speak Norwegian.

My Great Grandfather, Jonathon Jones Kraft, born in about 1839, a farmer, migrated to Australia in or about 1837, was the son of Edward Kraft, clergyman and Ellen Ellis Stuart.

His town of birth is recorded as being Hammerfest. Edward Kraft is also registered as a resident of Hammerfest.

I would appreciate making contact with anyone who is familiar with the Kraft family name in Hammerfest.

Thank you

John Kraft

Hello :)

Here is the parents wedding in Kristiansand, Vest-Agder. (as far from Hammerfest You can get in this country). I think the fathers proffession is adjunct (teacher). I have seen on another familytree that they also lived in Oppland after Møre & Romsdal.

Hello Linda

Thank you so much for your reply.

I am not now sure he was born in Hammerfest. The information you, and the following posters have provided has made me doubt that.

I will now look at widening my search somewhat.

Best regards

John

Anne

Thank you so much for the information in this and your following messages. You and Linda have helped me so very much.

I will now meet with my family and suggest we amend our old and apparently innacurate records.

Thank you again.

Best regards

John
