Jens Andreas Guttormsen Vestfold Norway

[Nada Kilgore]

Can anyone tell me anything about a family that left Selvik or Strommen
Vestfold Norway on 06 Mar 1887 via the Angelo of the Helgesen line. I can
find where father and I think seven children left on that date. Father is
listed as a widower but youngest child is only 8 mo old so the loss of his
wife must have been fairly recent.

Here is what I have:

I found a record with Jens Andreas Guttormsen's marriage to Ella Halvorsdr
on 15 Dec 1872 in Strommen, Vestfold, Norway. The names and date are a good
possibility for the family I am looking for. ( On Hilda's Social Security
Application she gives her mothers name as Ellen Halvorson and says that she
died before the family came to the US. )

There was a widower who left Norway with up to 7 children c 1887. His name
(as I can find it) was Jens Guttormsen (May have been Jens Andreas
Guttormsen of Vestfold, Norway).

The four daughters I knew:
Jensine Annette (b. 09/13/1874), Grew to adult and married John Fossum,
had two children Earl and Pearl
Hilda Katrina (08/18/1876), Grew to adult and married (1) can't remember
(2) Rohde, had two children
Anna Theodora (12/12/1884), Grew to adult and married Lars Christian
Goskesen, had four children
Thora or Tora (nmn) (10/24/1881). Grew to adult and married C. Meland,
had two sons

These are the ones I knew about as they survived to adulthood. I assume the
birthdates are correct as that is how they listed them.

One listed I can find nothing on: Hildor born about 1880

And there are two buried within the year of their arrival in Minnesota with
names of
Gusta Eljonora (d. 09/15/1887)
Haldor (nmn)(d. 08/25/1887).

I had partial records at one time that there was an Andreas, but did not
find him in Minnesota so he possibly died before the family came over.

If anyone has access to records in Strommen (where is that anyway?) or
Selvik (this is what is listed as residence on the ships roster) I would be
very appreciative of any assistance.

The family shows up on \"Emigrants sailing from Kristiania 1871-1930\" as
sailing 03.06.1887 on the Helgesen Angelo. The listings have numbers
95545-95552. Names are listed as: Jens Guttorms. (48 m e), Gunhild
Guttorms.(20 k), Jensine Guttorms.(12 k), Gusta Guttorms.(10 k), Hildor
Guttorms.(7 m), Thora Guttorms.(5 k), Anna Guttorms(2 k), and Haldor
Guttorms. (8mo m). They are listed as having resided in Svelvig and heading
for Ada Minnesota, which is where they ended up.

I would love to nail this down while my father is alive, he will be 80 next
year. His mother (Anna Theodora) was 45 when he was born and he never knew
very much about her family.

This is Svelvik or Strømm (Strømmen) near Drammen. I think that you will
find Jens here in 1865:

There is also his mother, Elen Hansdatter, widow, 61 years old, born in
Hurum. I think that this is Elen baptized:

It seems that Elen Hansdatter was married to Guttorm Torgersen 08.12.1835
Hurum. You MAY find Guttorm's father and grandfather here in 1801:

You mentioned Jensine Annette above. FamilySearch (LDS) tells that she was
bapt 25.10.1874 Strømmen, and that her parents were Jens Andreas Guttormsen
and Ellen Halvorsen. There is a "bygdebok" (local history-book mentioning
persons and farms) for Svelvik (or Strømm). My library has the book, and I
will take a look.

with
names of
Gusta Eljonora (d. 09/15/1887)
Haldor (nmn)(d. 08/25/1887).

I had partial records at one time that there was an Andreas, but
did
not
find him in Minnesota so he possibly died before the family came
over.

If anyone has access to records in Strommen (where is that
anyway?)
or
Selvik (this is what is listed as residence on the ships roster)
I
would
be
very appreciative of any assistance.

The family shows up on \"Emigrants sailing from Kristiania
1871-1930\"
as
sailing 03.06.1887 on the Helgesen Angelo. The listings have
numbers
95545-95552. Names are listed as: Jens Guttorms. (48 m e),
Gunhild
Guttorms.(20 k), Jensine Guttorms.(12 k), Gusta Guttorms.(10 k),
Hildor
Guttorms.(7 m), Thora Guttorms.(5 k), Anna Guttorms(2 k), and
Haldor
Guttorms. (8mo m). They are listed as having resided in Svelvig
and
heading
for Ada Minnesota, which is where they ended up.

I would love to nail this down while my father is alive, he
will
be
80
next
year. His mother (Anna Theodora) was 45 when he was born and he
never
knew
very much about her family.

It seems that Elen Hansdatter was married to Guttorm Torgersen
08.12.1835
Hurum. You MAY find Guttorm's father and grandfather here in 1801:

This is Svelvik or Strømm (Strømmen) near Drammen. I think that
you
will
find Jens here in 1865:

There is also his mother, Elen Hansdatter, widow, 61 years old,
born
in
Hurum. I think that this is Elen baptized:

Can anyone tell me anything about a family that left Selvik or
Strommen
Vestfold Norway on 06 Mar 1887 via the Angelo of the Helgesen
line.
I
can
find where father and I think seven children left on that date.
Father
is
listed as a widower but youngest child is only 8 mo old so the
loss
of
his
wife must have been fairly recent.

Here is what I have:

I found a record with Jens Andreas Guttormsen's marriage to Ella
Halvorsdr
on 15 Dec 1872 in Strommen, Vestfold, Norway. The names and date
are
a
good
possibility for the family I am looking for. ( On Hilda's Social
Security
Application she gives her mothers name as Ellen Halvorson and
says
that
she
died before the family came to the US. )

There was a widower who left Norway with up to 7 children c
1887.
His
name
(as I can find it) was Jens Guttormsen (May have been Jens
Andreas
Guttormsen of Vestfold, Norway).

The four daughters I knew:
Jensine Annette (b. 09/13/1874), Grew to adult and married
John
Fossum,
had two children Earl and Pearl
Hilda Katrina (08/18/1876), Grew to adult and married (1)
can't
remember
(2) Rohde, had two children
Anna Theodora (12/12/1884), Grew to adult and married Lars
Christian
Goskesen, had four children
Thora or Tora (nmn) (10/24/1881). Grew to adult and married
C.
Meland,
had two sons

These are the ones I knew about as they survived to adulthood. I
assume
the
birthdates are correct as that is how they listed them.

One listed I can find nothing on: Hildor born about 1880

And there are two buried within the year of their arrival in
Minnesota
with
names of
Gusta Eljonora (d. 09/15/1887)
Haldor (nmn)(d. 08/25/1887).

I had partial records at one time that there was an Andreas, but
did
not
find him in Minnesota so he possibly died before the family came
over.

If anyone has access to records in Strommen (where is that
anyway?)
or
Selvik (this is what is listed as residence on the ships roster)
I
would
be
very appreciative of any assistance.
