Ole and Elenus Boe in Minnesota

Legg inn av 23582 » 29 mai 2008 10:49:16

Ole Sylfestson Bø or Boe in US, born 1869 in Vågå, emigrated to US in june 1876. His brother Elenus Boe, born 1856, emigrated also, but I can't find him in the emigation lists. In census 1880 in MN he is reg. as a worker in Hegbert, Swift county MN.

Can anyone find their families, how many children, names on children etc? They lived in Minnesota.

I did not find Ole in 1869.
I found him in 1855:
Born: 06.04.1855
http://www.arkivnett.ol.no:81/dbsok/nde ... Post=43836

Thank you, Margit. Yes, I did a mistake, in 1869 he was confirmed. Ole Sylfestson was born 6th April 1855. Elenus was born 30th Nov 1856. Elenus was married to Hansina, it is the right people! In 1909 Ole had a farm 18 miles from Appelton.

Not living descendants.. only their nearest family members (which you have given me) and when Ole and Elnus died, if you can find it.

Ole and Elenus was what we called legdeslemmer, very poor, young boys in Vågå, Gudbrandsdalen. Their father left his wife and got 6 children outside marriage with a widow in Vågå, Ole and Elenus are amongst them. These young boys had nothing to loose, very poor, and left Norway to find a better life in US.

Their brother Iver in Norway died in 1904 and Iver's family left Vågå and emigrated - to their family in Minnesota. Iver was married to a halfsister of my great granmother.

My great granmothers daugther emigrated to MN in 1909 - and she settled with her aunt. AND - my great granmother followed in 1911! A classic emigrant history - and today I have more than 100 descendants in MN!

Perhaps Elenus was moved, that was quite common if the spouse was buried elsewhere.

I have a picture of Elenus and Hansine with their children. From left: Elenus, Annie, Rachel, Thea, Emma, Nellie, Peter and Hansine.

Could Peter be "Baby Boe" or?? I cannot find a Peter amongst their children...

Hei once more -

I found her in the emigrantlist! She left in 1887. But she was written as Roe instead of Boe. And her sons had paid for the ticket, it was prepaid:
