Paul Hansen Skjeggestadstuen, f. 6.9.1878 til USA 1904

[dn18246]

hei

er på jakt etter slektninger på morsiden, og har funnet ut noe. Men, det stopper etter en stund og trenger hint om hvor jeg skal gå videre.

Paul Hansen Skjeggestadstuen, (onkel til min mormor) fra Østre Gausdal. Født 6/9-1878. Reiste til USA i 1910, nærmere bestemt 5/4 fra Kristiania med ss "Montebello". Jeg finner navnet hans på ellisisland.org, men da kommer han fra ss "Arabica" som seilte fra Liverpool. Kan han ha byttet båt??

Han ankom USA 24/4 samme år. Fant en oppføring på han som Steren Paul Hansen Skjeggestad, aner ikke hva Steren er, kanskje de mener Steven? At han ville bytte navn? Han reiste til slekt i Wisconsin.

Av dokumentet på ellisisland, står det at han skal besøke slekt, Helge Thompson. Om det er hans slekt eller sin kones slekt aner jeg ikke. Han står gift med Mathea. Og her stopper det..

Men jeg tror han senere står som Steve Paul Hauste - om jeg har funnet rett person.

Er det noen som kan hjelpe meg litt videre? Skulle gjerne visst om de fikk barn

takknemlig for alle hint og hjelp

vennlig hilsen

Anita K. Risan

Hei Anita

Du skriver: Kan han ha byttet båt?

Svaret på det er nok "Ja", da S/S Montebello gikk fra Kristiania - Kristiansand - Hull, England.

Derfra tok man (i følge Norway - Heritage) tog til f. eks. Liverpool, som i "ditt" tilfelle.

Og derfra har han så tatt S/S Arabica til New York.

Vel, dette var mitt lille bidrag

It looks like he came to America in 1904 with his wife Mathea and was going to Elroy, Wisconsin to his brother in laws, Helge Thompson. He left Liverpool on the 15th of April and arrived in New York on April 24, 1904 on the USS Arabic. He is #12 on the manifest.
His first name IS NOT Steven on the manifest. His name is Paul Skjeggestadstuen, the other writing belongs to the person above it appears.
It is rather hard to look any other place in America for him as you did not give his parents names.

Hello Margit

thank's for your reply

This is a part of my family I don't know much about I'm afraid - so I don't kow his parents names. Yet. But I am searching...

I believe that he spent most of his life in Wisonsin, but one can never be sure

But (sorry if I am asking a stupid question here now...) how can his parents names help? Are they registered anywhere?

anyway - I am glad for your help! Thank you so much

Hei Anita,
It appears he did not use the surname Skjeggestad/stuen, so if I know his father's name, I could perhaps search more for him.
What is your source for the information??

Hei igjen, Anita

Nå har jeg også tatt en titt på ellisisland.org.

Du skriver at han ankom USA 24/4 samme år, dvs. 1910.
Men i den skannede skipslista står det at S.S. Arabic seilte fra Liverpool 15. april 1904 og ankom N.Y. 24. april 1904.

Jeg har også en teori om hva Steren betyr:

I den skannede skipslista står det tydelig SkjeggestadSTUEN Paul Hansen (med strek over u'en i stuen), så det er opplagt at for den som har skrevet av dokumentet, har 'stuen' blitt til 'steren'. Ta en titt og se om du ikke er enig (krever innlogging.)

Ooops!

Mitt siste innlegg ble skrevet før jeg så at Margit hadde svart!

Hei Toril,
I found his baptism record in 1878 and the names of his parents. I cannot find any other information then his coming to America.

Signing off for tonight

thank you soo much for your help!!

Margit, my source of information is my mother. But she doesen't know much, since many of this part in our family passed away early - and noone wrote anything down in the old days

But I am trying to locate some old papers to see what else I can find out. So Paul Hansen Skjeggestadstuens parents are Hans Paulsen and Randi Pedersdatter? Have I understood correctly?

again, thank you both very much! :)

You should always do all your homework in Norway before searching in America.

Ask more questions of relatives. Genealogy is based on facts, not hearsay.

Thanks Margit - I also found these earlier today:)

So.. it is hard to do any homework in Norway when people tat might have known something has passed away I can't talk to the dead.

the only source right now is my mother - and all she has are some notes found in an old Bible, where somene has written down birthdays and other significant dates. Including the date when Paul and his wife left. There are alot of pictures of people too, but we don't know who they are..

I know where they are from, I know their parents, and where they went in America.( The next thing for me to find out is who is the relative they went to, and what they maybe changed their name to) So I think my homework so far is quite ok

So thanks alot for your help!

[Margit R Bakke]

Yes, I have often wished to speak to the dead.
I did find this today, which is the best one for your man. He is living in a boarding house, is listed as married, in Wisconsin, born ca 1879 and came to America in 1904 and has been married 7 years. He is #27.
I will check some more.

Thanks a lot Margit! I haven't been here for some time now- other projects also take my focus. But this is interesting - now I have something else to look for. Fasinating to try and find out where these people went1

Again, thank you so much for your help so far


best wishes, Anita
