Hilmar Brekke (Brakke) from Tingvold to Virginia Minn. 1913
Hilmar Magnus Edvardsen Brekke b. 17.06.1895, emigrated to America from Surendal/Tingvold 1913. He arrived at Ellis Island, as Hilmar M. E. Brakke, sept. 8th. 1913. He was going to his brother Hans Gerhard Edvardsen Brekke in Virginia Minnesota. Hans, b. 17.09.1892, had emigrated in 1910. Hans married and has descendants in America. However, they seem to know nothing about Hilmar.
Hilmar never visited Norway again. Little or nothing is known about his life in America.
Hopefully, someone is able to giving a little help.

Hei Tom!
I find Hans in 1920 St. Louis co, Virginia City, MN with his last name indexed as "Bricki" (in the Heritage Quest program).
I may have found his brother...at least this is a possible fellow:
Adam Brakke, age 24 in 1920 living in the state of Washington, Clark Co, Heisson Precinct.
This "Adam" immigrated 1913. He is not married, and is a carpenter working on a bridge.

Re: Hilmar Brekke (Brakke) from Tingvold to Virginia Minn. 1
Thank you both!
I've been away since friday and it was very exiting to find these answers. I will try to check out the Magnus Brekke from the 1920 census.
One question; "boarder" - is it a person who is renting a room or something like that?

Hei Tom!
Yes...you are right about the word "boarder". The Adam in WA was also a boarder.

Hello
I'm trying to blow a new life into this thread!
Hilmar Magnus Brekke apparently uses the name ELMER BREKKE after a few years in America. In the USCENSUS 1920, he is listed in Virginia St Louis MN. He is also listed is the 1915 directory of Virginia under this name.
Elmer marries Alina Tyne Luhta in the Lutheran church feb. 23 1920. Their child, Viola Margaret, is born august 16 1920 in Virginia MN.
Elmer and Alina divorces after three/four/five years. I haven't found any documentation on the divorce. Elmer (or maybe the whole family) moves to Fargo, Cass ND. Elmer is listed as baker in the 1924 Fargo ND-directory.
I have established contact with grandchildren of Elmer, but they know nothing about his destiny. It is said he moved to Bismarck ND, but I'm unable to find anything there.
I can't find his death
I can't find him in the USCENSUS 1930 (or 1940 for that matter).
His brother's descendants knew nothing about him, but a grandnephew of Elmer found a postcard from Norway, dated 1929, to Elmer/Hilmar, address Seventh Street South 202 1/2 Virginia. I looked through the card collection on Ancestry and found this address. No Elmer, but the person who lived there, was a german baker, named Joseph J Sheriff. He was a baker and worked at CITY BAKERIES, so there may have been a link there.
Viola Margaret married Bernhard McCauley and lived in Hibbing St Louis MN. She died in 2004, but she has 8 children, all living, as far as I know.

Hei
Dette var fantastisk!! Jeg følger opp sporene.
Skjønner ærlig talt ikke hvorfor jeg ikke har fått disse treffene, for jeg har virkelig søkt Ancestry "forlengs og baklengs".
Dette er virkelig spennende, så TAKK nok en gang!

Re: Hilmar Brekke (Brakke) from Tingvold to Virginia Minn. 1
Nå har jeg sjekket ut dette tipset og det ga FULL KLAFF!
Jeg søkte på Jamestown ND og fant at et slektsforskermiljø hadde transkribert gamle dødsfalsprotokoller. Fant Helmer Magnus Brekke, med oppgave over foreldre. Se faksimile.
Dermed er hovedmysteriet løst. Vi har funnet dødsfallet; tidspunkt og sted.
Nok en gang takk til deg Egil!
