Kamilla Olssen, born 1899, married Thorsen: In California?
Moderator: MOD_Emigranter
Kamilla Olssen, born 1899, married Thorsen: In California?
My grandfather Laurits Olssen (Fanebust) was born in Bergen, Norway, and had several sisters and brothers. Kamilla, or Camilla, was one of them, born in Bergen in 1899 or 1900.
As far as I know, Kamilla left for The United States in 1923, and she married a man by the name of Thorsen (or Torsen). They had a son, Ernest Thorsen, living in California in 1999, and let’s say 75 years old then. He had a daughter, but I don’t know her name.
I’m looking for my family in USA, and wonder if anyone can help me to find them.
Kamilla’s father was Martinus Olsen (Fanebust), born in Lindaas north of Bergen in 1862, and her mother was Kaja Andrea Larssen, born in Vaagan, Lofoten, in 1866.

I would suggest that you find her "exact" birthdate in the online Church book. What is the source of the information about her marriage and birth of her son Ernest?

Re: Kamilla Olssen, born 1899, married Thorsen: In Californi
Thank you, Margit.
You have been VERY helpful. It seems to me that what I need now, is the name of the daughter of Ernest. Ten years ago I heard that she wanted to get in touch with her family in Norway, and maybe - someday - I'll find her.
Camillas father was born on a farm called Fonnebost, north of Bergen. I've been there, and it is a VERY beautiful place. He moved to Bergen, and died before I was born.
Laurits, Camilla's brother, however, was a very friendly grandfather to me.
Once again, thanks you for your assistance, and have a nice day!

Thanks again, Margit.
It seems to me that Karen, born 1964, should be the right one, the daughter of Ernest.
I'll try to get in touch with her as soon as I can.
Have a nice day!
