Fra Vesterålen til USA

Legg inn av Rolf Sverre Alsos » 10 mai 2009 16:57:21

Maria Dorthea Jensen, født 20 april 1857 på Ringstad i Bø i Vesterålen reiste en gang etter 1878 til USA og skal ha giftet seg der. Før hun reiste, fikk hun 14 mars 1878 ei datter, min oldemor, som ble oppfostret hos sin onkel og besteforeldre på Ringstad.

Jeg har ved søk funnet ei som kunne passe, som giftet seg 20 april 1889 med Ole Kristian Lundby i Our Savior's Lutheran Church i Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Vet ikke om det er riktig MDJ jeg har funnet. Mer har jeg ikke klart å finne, så jeg håper på hjelp fra noen som er flinkere med dette enn jeg.

Hei!
I looked for Lundby in the 1900 and 1910 WI census...wonder why I can not find Ole (or Maria)?...I also searched in the Eau Claire, Phillipe Memorial Library site...nothing there either....
So in the church record you found...Ole was using the last name "Lundby"??

I should have included this information:

I found this on Familysearch, her name shown as Marie Dorathea Jensen, said age 27, born in Norway, and parent's names Jens K. Jensen and Johanna Johannesen, which fits, except her mother's family name.

Ole Kristian Lundby, said age 27, born in Norway, parent's names Johannes K. Lundby and Mathea Jensen. So perhaps later he could have used Johannesen as his family name or something like Johnsen, Jansen, Johansen.

The source is "Ministerialbog, 1876-1948, Vor Frelsers Norsk-Evang. Lutherske Menighed (Eau Claire, Wisconsin). If they had settled Eau Claire is an open question.

Hei igjen Rolf!
OK...I went back to the Eau Claire Phillips Memorial library website...(Research...local history)...bride groom index.
When I entered the name of Maria Jensen I found the same record as you...Except the last name was spelled "Lundley"...
It seems Ole might have changed his last name to one of the choices you mentioned...I could not find any Lundleys in the 1900 1910 census to match the info on Marie/Maria and Ole...
mvh Patty

Overwhelming, lots of thanks to both of you, Patty and Margit!

(I erased my earlier message, Patty, because I saw the Olaf I found had other parents.)

Now there is no doubt about that MDJ from Norway and MDJ in Wisconsin/Illinois/Washington was the same person.

Yesterday, in Familysearch, I found Jessie Johanna Lundby's birth date 15 March 1891, born in Eau Claire, Chippewa, Wisconsin. And more important, her parent's names written as Ole Christian Lundby and Dorthea Marie Ringstad.

:D to Patty and Margit, who helped me so much!
