Re: Thor Erlandsen til Albert Lea Minnesota i 1881?
Hei!
Johanes Steindahl listed with Thor ("Thomas") Hollow in Anderson, Eddy ND in 1900 has a birthday of December 1873. So this really does not match with the birthday (Oct. 1870) for Johannes Steindahl, who is the nephew of Thor Erlandsen. Do I have the dates right?

OK...so that means that Thor(Thomas) "Hollow" in 1900 Eddy ND is probably not your Thor Erlandsen (as far as I can tell)!

Re: Thor Erlandsen til Albert Lea Minnesota i 1881?
You are Probably right. I also find it unlikely that he should have changed his name from Thor to Thomas. And the dates do not match either. Thank you for your tip!

Hei Oddmund!
Oh...it IS reasonable for Thor/Tor to become Thomas "over here"!! We have a Tølløv in our family who became Thomas in the USA!
Looking back at what Hanna Lina found I AM interested that THor's she found a Johannes Stendahl living in Nelson county ND in 1900. It says in that census that "Johannes" was born October, 1874 and immigrated 1900. I know the birthyear (1874) is off...but there are often errors in the census.
Do you know any more about Johannes?

I dont know about Johannes, but this Thomas is born nov 1854, same as Thor Erlandsen, and he uses the same surname as other emigrated familymembers. I think Thomas is the right one for Thor.
But I'm not sure about Johannes, so you may check if there are any other Johannes in the family or from that area that likely to have taken Steindahl as surname and emigrated.

Hei Hanna Line og Oddmund!
I don't know the "history" of the family...
Hanna Line, was the surname Hollow or Hollon that others in the family have used? Where did these families live??
I looked on a North Dakota map and found it interesting that the "Thomas Hollow" lived in Eddy county and the Johannes Steindahl (who was born Oct. 1874, working as a hired man) lived in Nelson county (Forde township) which is just east of Eddy county...pretty close! So it is "reasonable" that Thor (Thomas?) and his nephew (johannes) would be living this close.
I will look at the census again...but I think, that the name Thor (not Thomas!) is actually what is written in the census in Eddy county. I think the name "thor" looked to be the abbreviation "we" use for Thomas...Thos....but it WAS in fact THORin the handwrtten census!..I will re-check this in a minute.
It is confusing that there is a Johannes living with Thomas Hollow as well as this other family in Nelson county. However, it could be the same person...recorded in 2 different censuses (this has also happened in my family). And the birthyear can certainly be recorded wrong (for Johannes!)...
I agree, Hanna Line...it sure is a perfect match regarding the Nov. 1854 birth date for Thomas Hollow and Thor Erlandsen!
All for now!

Re: Thor Erlandsen til Albert Lea Minnesota i 1881?
Patty is right. It is Thor E. Hollom.
Thors brother Hans used the surname Hollum: https://slektsforum.slektogdata.no/view ... hp?t=74721

Re: Thor Erlandsen til Albert Lea Minnesota i 1881?
Hei Hanna Line og Oddmund!
OK...now this makes sense!!
I wonder where Thor "Hollom" and family were in 1910 and later census years.
I tried to find them...
The 1900 census says Thor immigrated 1882, the same year as his wife Albertina...were they married in Norway?

Thor was unmarried (in norwegian ugift) when he emigrated, this according to Oddmunds first post in this thread.
