Walter Nilsen fra Larvik død Erie, New York og to brødre
Min fars fetter Valter Nilsen født i Larvik 11 oktober 1896 http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?i ... _side=-240 reiser til USA i 1914 (eksp.25. november) linje 3533.
Hans bror Einar Ragnvald Nilsen født 18 oktober 1894 http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?i ... _side=-214 reiser til USA i 1914 (eksp.26. november) linje 3537.
Jeg søker etter deres familie og eventuelle etterkommere. Er det noen personer som har kjennskap til de?
Jeg har forsøk å lete litt i kilder i USA, men er ikke så dreven i å finne fram der.
Jeg har fra slekta hjemme fått vite at Walter som han skriver seg i USA er gift med Gladys og at de har en datter som heter Thelma. Telma skal være gift med en Olav. Jeg har et bilde fra 50-tallet hvor Walter har med seg et barnebarn (gutt) på besøk til Larvik.
Det er alt jeg har av hjemlig info.
I USA finner jeg en Walter Nilsen som jeg regner med er min person som er død i 1970 i Tonawanda, Erie, New York, men har også sett Buffalo, Erie som bosted.
Når det gjelder Einar Ragnvald Nilsen tror jeg at jeg har funnet han død i 1970 i Detroit, Wayne, Michigan
Deres tredje bror Asbjørn Gerhard Nilsen født 18.oktober 1904 http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?i ... _side=-214 er på sin første tur til USA http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/we ... =3345#ovre sammen med sin mor Inga Nilsen i 1913. Hun skal besøke sin mann som er skibsfører Anders Martin Nilsen som nok bodde en periode i USA.
Asbjørn ble også værende i USA, men jeg har ikke funnet ut hvor han havnet bortsett fra at han hadde endel anløp til Ellis Islands som sjømann.
Jeg er meget takknemlig for tips til å finne mer om eventelle etterkommere for de tre Nilsen brødre.

Re: Walter Nilsen fra Larvik død Erie, New York og to brødr
Hei Jan-Sigbjørn!
I find the following in the 1920 Erie county, Tonawanda, NY census:
Walter "Nelsen" age 23, immigrated 1918...he is a boarder (living with another family) and is working as a dock builder.
I imagine it is his brother listed below Walter in the census:
Einar Nelsen, age 25, immigrated 1914...he is also a boarder.
Walter and Einar are single (not married).
mvh Patty

Re: Walter Nilsen fra Larvik død Erie, New York og to brødr
Thanks to you both. You are working fast on my problem.
First to Patty: No doubt that we have the brothers Walter and Einar in 1920.
Second to Magit: Einar in 1930 seems to be a good candidate too.
The best one is Walter and his family in 1930 with Gladys and Thelma an in addition Osborne. He must be the third brother Asbjørn Gerhard born in 1904!
Asbjørn seems to be too complicated name over there.
This is a very good start.

Re: Walter Nilsen fra Larvik død Erie, New York og to brødr
Thanks for your findings.
You are working faster than I can answer you.
I have two old pictures of soldiers whithout names and I will try to attach them.
Who is who is difficult to say, but that is my problem.
It is at least clear that both Einar and Walter joined the army.

Re: Walter Nilsen fra Larvik død Erie, New York og to brødr
Thank you for all the help you have given me.
I have searched for more information related to Oluf Leonard Wake
I hav not found him christened in the Churchbook of Haugesund yet, but i found a 6 year old boy Oluf Leonhard Vake who died 29 oct. 1918, http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/We ... =2631#ovre
This boy can be the brother og the person I am looking for and he could be renamed after his dead brother.
I also found
Source Information, Publication Number: M1677 Publication Title:
Alphabetical Index to Petitions for Naturalizations of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York, 1907-1966
Publisher: NARA, State: New York, Court: U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York , Document Year: 1950 Full Name: Wake, Oluf Leonard
My third finding is that Oluf Leonard Wake is named at "Little Norway" in Canada.
Personell Little Norway 1940-1945. And this informatin can give an answer to how he came to US from Canada in 1942 during World War II.
The Name Asbjørn Nilsen is also at the "Little Norway List", but only the name is to little to say it is my fathers cousin Asbjørn.
