Margarete Dorothea Persdatter Hellesvik

[gj03955]

Margarete was the daughter of Margarete Dorothea Larsdatter and Per Jorgen Persen Hellesvik born in 1859. Her mother apparently died in childbirth. She lived with her grandparents Lars Magnusen and Olava Jacobsdatter Tiltrem at Tiltrem. Lars Magnusen, his wife and two children as well as Margarete emigrated to the US in 1881. Margarete returned to Norway and apparently lived with her father. Are there any records of her return to Norway and whether she married and had children? I think she apparently died fairly young, but don't really know much about her. Any information on her would be appreciated.

mvh,
Curt

Hi!

Just her baptismrecords, showing she was born 11th August 1859, and her name being Margrethe Dorthea Jørgine:

Kildeinformasjon: Sør-Trøndelag fylke, Åfjord, Ministerialbok nr. 655A06 (1847-1860), Fødte og døpte kvinner 1859, side 78.

And I think this is her in the 1865 census, living with her father:

Peder re-married 17th October 1865:

Tusen tak Bente. This helps to fill in the missing gaps in our family. Only two of our slekt appear to have stayed behind in Norway and I have only been able to track three of the Lars Magnusen family here in the US.

Mvh,

Hi!

This is what is written about Margrethe Dorthea, her parents and grandparents in "Åfjord og Jøssund gårdshistorie; 2".

Unfortunately, it does not say what happened to her. (And it is all in Norwegian...)

Mvh Bente
