Jeg har familieforgreningen inn i en av Steenstrupslektene som kom til Norge. Min Oldemor het Johanne Amalie Steenstrup (født 1833), og giftet seg med Carl Johan Petersen(Petersøn)
Johanne Amalie var datter av Ole Nicolai Steenstrup f 1805 på Kongsberg. Han var gift med
Karen Magdalene(a) Engel (født 1804 i Drammen). Jeg lurer på om noen vet når Johanne Amalie døde, og om noen vet noe mer om Engel slekta.
Takknemmelig for alle spor.
I am not sure I am doing this right but here goes......WE ARE THIRD COUSINS!!! My great grandfather, Peter Christian Engel Steenstrup, is Johanne’s brother.
This is the info I have about Johanne:
Johanne Amalia Steenstrup
Born: 9 November 1833 in Sondre Land, Oppland, Norway
Christened: 25 January 1834 in Sondre Land
Death: 25 December 1916 in Sondre Land
Husband: Carl Johan Petersen
Born: 20 Feb 1825 in Jevnaker, Oppland, Norlway
Christened: 13 March 1825 in Jevnaker

Peter Olaf Petersen born: 19 April 1858 christened: 13 June 1858 died: 26 Feb 1863
Maria Petersen born: 13 April 1861 christened: 16 Jun 1861
Caroline Petersen born 8 Janaury 1864 christened: 27 March 1864 – Caroline married Neils Christian Larsen on 15 Jul 1892 in Sondre Land

Karl Johan Steenstrup Petersen born: 29 march 1878 christened: 12 May 1878 – Karl Married Anna Aguustdatter on 12 April 1906 in Moss, Ostfold, Norway
I also have some info on Christian Engel (our 3rd great grandfather) and his wife Ingeborg Hansdatter
I found it on the following webpage:
http://www.drammen.kirken.no/wwfil/6540/6540
It is a museum in Drammen that has old cemetery markers and Christian and Ingeborg’s markers are there.
Christian Engel
Born: about June 1772 in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany
Died 28 December 1818 in Bragernes, Drammen, Buskerud, Norway
Married: 5 Oct 1803 in Bragernes
Ingeborg Hansdatter
Born: about 1766 in Drammen, Buskerud, Norway (I have looked through the parish records and can’t find her.
Died 15 Feb 1830 in Bragernes
Three children all born in Bragernes
Karen Magdalena Engel
Marie Engel christened: 22 April 1805 married Laurentius Olsen on 12 Jul 1838 in Brangernes
Jens Andreas Engel christened: 11 April 1807 married Guro Olsdatter 18 Oct 1836 Lier, Buskerud, Norway
I have one child for Marie and a large family for Jens. Jens had a son Christian who came to America and lived close to his cousin (my great grandfather) Peter Steenstrup. They married sisters.
I believe that Jens Engel (born about May 1738 - died 10 Aug 1795 in Bragernes and married Magdalen Johnssen on 2 Feb 1790 in Stromso, Buskerud) may be Christian's (our 3rd great grandfather) father or uncle. When I found his death, I realized he was old enough to be Christian’s father. And then the marriage could be a second marriage. When I googled Christian Engel and Drammen, I have found a site that tells about property that was owned by Jens, then after he dies it is owned by his wife, after she dies it is owned by Christian and then when he dies it is owned by Ingeborg. But Christian does pay for it. So, I think there is some type of a connection between Jens Engel and Christian Engel.
Which one of Johannes children do you come through? I come through Peter’s youngest daughter, Mabel Leona Steenstrup.
Do you know anything about Johanne and Peter's other siblings? One sister, Caroline, ended up in Minnesota with a large family. Carl went to Montana. We don't know what happened to Ingeborg or Jens. I don't know if they stayed in Norway or came to America. We do know that Ole and Karen also went to America. Ole dies in 1870. We found Karen on the 1870 census living with her daughter, Caroline, but haven't been able to find a death record.
