Johan Marius Mikalsen

[dn09256]

Noen som kjenner til følgende:
Johan Marius Mikalsen f 2/9 1892 på Rundsvoll (Eriklien) i Hemnes.
Foreldre: Mikal Johan Lossius Jakobsen (1852 - 1944) og Grete Christine Olsdatter (1863 - 1896)
Finnes i folketellinga fra 1910 som Johan Rundsvoll.
Han var sannsynligvis på Rjukan hvor han fikk en sønn som visstnok druknet i elva, deretter reiste han til Amerika (Canada?). Han var gift (bodde sammen?) med Anna Nilsen - de fikk Ragnar og han har etter sigende bodd i Prince Rupert, Vancouver.
Mikal og Grete er mine oldeforeldre, altså skla det finnes minst en tremenning ett eller annet sted "over there", og jeg veit ikke hvordan jeg skal begynne å leite.

Hei!
Do you know when Johan's son died...then Johan emigrated after that...
Have you found the family at the Hemneslekt website?

Have you checked all the emigration records to find them leaving Norway? If so, where did it say they were going? What is your source for them living in Vancouver?

I can't find him in any emigration list, only rumours in the family.
The latest I heard was that he lived in Prince Rupert in Canada an had a son named Ragnar Bjørn, born 1920 may 22 (maybe in Rjukan, Norway). He was merried to a sweedish girl, Evy, and they have a son Bobby, born between 1946 - 1952.
But still it is only rumours.

Perhaps you can find someone here to help you by looking up and obituary on the two I found earlier.
