Jensina (Sena) L. Olesen born May 1867
I am looking to find information on my Ancestor Jensina L. Olesen born 1867 in May. I am unsure of the location of her birth but it may be Horsens. She came to the United States of America in either 1884 or 1885. I do not know what port she came in on, but she was Married in the State of Montana in 1889 to Peter Kingo Knudsen (originaly of Denmark).
I would like to know her parents and Grandparents names and any siblings. I have found her in United States Census records and in United States death records. I have an ancestry.com tree (knudsen family tree) with her info, but i guessed on parents names.
her children's names were Albert and Marguerite Knudsen.
I appreciate any help. Her picture attached.

Are you sure she was born in Norway? Horsens is in Denmark.

Re: Jensina (Sena) L. Olesen born May 1867
Do you have a picture of the original document from the death/marriage records?
Vennlig hilsen Gry
Re: Jensina (Sena) L. Olesen born May 1867
I do not have photo copies of birth marriage or death records. But I am in the process of trying to get marriage records form Lewis and clark county in Montana. I am sorry about Horsens, that was a mistake. I do not know the county Jensina was born in but I do believe it was in Norway. I have a copy of Jensina's marriage announcement where I got the date and place. It is a family treasure. I would really like to find reference to her parents names, but I may have to make a trip to Montana to do so.
I do appreciate all of the Help!

Re: Jensina (Sena) L. Olesen born May 1867
Thank you!
I do believe this must be the right Jensine. I noticed that she had a sibling named Albert, and that is something I was looking for. Her son was named Albert and I wanted to know if it was a family name. I appreciate all of the help from a world away. I have attached a picture of her with her family.
Best wishes.

Re: Jensina (Sena) L. Olesen born May 1867
In the 1875 census that shows Jensine living in Tjøtta, do you think that Ann Rasmussen is her grandmother? and where is her family if so where is the rest of the family? I tried to look in the census, but I am unsure of the results, and found no death records for her parents. would you have any ideas?
Thank you.

Hi!
I noticed that your question still stands unanswered, but maybe you have found the information yourself by now?
Well, better one too many:
Karen Annas christening in 1835:
Kildeinformasjon: Nordland fylke, Tjøtta i Alstahaug, Klokkerbok nr. 830C01 /2 (1829-1840), Fødte og døpte 1835, side 151-152.
Permanent sidelenke: http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?i ... x_side=-10
Her parents are listed as Jacob Nilsen and Ane Rasmusdtr, so I believe you were rigth in assuming that Jensine was looked after by her grandmother in the 1875 census.
I've also had a quick look thru the church-books for deaths between 1865-1875 without being able to find them at first glance.
Let us know if you would like some more help!
Regards, Bente

Re: Jensina (Sena) L. Olesen born May 1867
Thanks for the help. I am sorry it took awhile to reply. I am still looking for tools to find more information on this family including other descendants of Karen Anna Jacobsen and Ole Fredriksen, such as Thea Lovise Olsen, or Albertine Helmine olsen. I am Most interested to know if there are still descendants of this family living in Tjøtta or nearby. It looks like a beautiful place to visit!
Re: Jensina (Sena) L. Olesen born May 1867
Hi!
Maybe you should ask the moderator who has helped you earlier on to move your request to the forum for Northern-Norway now that it has been established where the family came from?
Local researchers up there might have useful information available for you
