Heisann :)

Da prøver jeg meg på slektsforumet til DIS-Norge med håp om en løsning, etter å ha prøvd diverse andre steder som for eksempel digitalarkivets brukerforum og slektshjørnet på facebook uten hell. Har også benyttet meg av frelsesarmeens søkekontor, der jeg nettopp fikk svar at de har gitt opp å finne personen.

Lenke til det jeg har lagt ut på digitalarkivets brukerforum:

https://forum.arkivverket.no/topic/390- ... =vestervik


Jeg søker da altså min oldemors bror. Han het Anders Aslaksen Vestervik f. 29.03.1903.
Lenke til dåp (Anders er øverst):
http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?i ... x_side=-40

Han ble født på Bergtun, Varaldsøy i Hordaland. Hans foreldre het Aslak Abelsen Vestervik og Anna Mathilde Gjuvsland.

Lenke til folketellingen i 1910: http://digitalarkivet.arkivverket.no/ft ... 6672000013

Lenke til konfirmasjon i 1917 (Anders nr 13):
http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?i ... x_side=-46

Min Mormor Johanna f. 1930 har alltid lurt på hva som skjedde med hennes onkel. Det hun har hørt er, at han dro til Amerika dagen etter hennes mors bryllup (hans søster) 01.07.1922. Han er ikke å finne blant emigrantprotokollene, fordi han var etter det hun hadde hørt, sjømann (Jeg har ikke funnet ham i disse emigrant protokollene)

Videre har hun hørt, at han hadde giftet seg med en dame fra Hallingdal og at de hadde fått en sønn Andrew.

Jeg fikk hjelp på brukerforumet til å finne ekteskapet til Anders i Philadelphia, der han giftet seg i 1930 med ei jente fra Gol i Hallingdal som Anne Kristoffersdatter Bredok. (Så da stemte det mormor fortalte). De amerikaniserte navnet sitt da til Westervick.

Lenke til Anne sin dåp, nr 15:

http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?i ... x_side=-54

Hun emigrerte til USA i 1927 Lenke:

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KXG9-TYW


Lenke til ekteskapet funnet på familysearch: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JV99-8QB

De fikk en sønn Kenneth (Andrew) som ble født ca 1932.

Denne sønnen befant seg i 1940 på et barnehjem i Philadelphia drevet av frelsesarmeen.
Lenke:
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KQJT-LJT

Jeg har ikke lyktes med å finne Anders eller Anne i 1940 folketelling i USA.

Det er ikke noe spor av Anders etter bryllupet i 1930 i kildene, men mormor har hørt at han sendte et brev til sine foreldre rett før krigen der han ba de om penger for å komme seg hjem igjen til Norge. Det hadde de ikke økonomisk mulighet til og rett etter kom krigen og de hørte aldri noe mer til ham. ( Jeg synes det høres litt rart ut å be om penger om for å komme seg hjem, da han skulle være sjømann og da sikkert kunne ta seg hyre på et skip for å komme seg hjem?)

Sønnen Andrew Kenneth og moren besøkte Norge sammen en stund før 1974. De besøkte da bare Anne sin side av familien, og tok ikke kontakt med Anders sin familie. Jeg fikk høre av Anne sin slektning at han hadde hørt at Anders og Anne hadde blitt skilt, og at det sikkert var grunnen til at de ikke oppsøkte Anders sin side av familien. (Min mormor som nå bor på Ål i Hallingdal visste ikke om at søskebarnet og tanten hennes hadde vært på besøk bare et par mil unna).

I 1974 har Anne flyttet tilbake til Norge og hun dør på et gamlehjem på Gol i Hallingdal.

Dødsattesten blir sendt til hennes sønn som da bor i Granite Street i Philadelphia.

Det er ikke kjent av Anne sin familie om Andrew Kenneth hadde barn eller om han lever nå. Jeg har fått hjelp av frelsesarmeen sitt kontor i Norge, som har sendt saken videre til USA, men uten å lykkes med å finne hverken Anders eller Andrew Kenneth.

Dette er svarene jeg har fått fra frelsesarmeen:

Regarding the above referenced, I regret to inform you that I am now closing this case. Despite my best efforts there has been no contact and I've exhausted all search efforts.

I went to the Department of Buildings site in Philadelphia, PA and the house is owned by someone else. I tried the telephone record on file, but no response. I will send a letter.

I have research several Westerwick's around the country most recently another update yield some news address. Awaiting responses.

A previous internet search proved positive for your Missing Person, however the telephone number is not in service and there was no response to a previous letter. I will send another.

..due to Hippa guidelines we are not able to access any medical information and a Death Index check did not yield any results. I have researched several like named individuals and sent letters but no responses at yet.


Så det er ikke så lett å finne disse, så jeg håper det kan være noen her inne som kan hjelpe meg å finne opplysninger om Anders og sønnen Andrew Kenneth. Da hadde jeg blitt veldig glad :)

Legger ved noen bilder av Anders og familien, så dere kan se hvem dere leter etter :)


Her er er noen google søk jeg fant, som kanskje kan være til hjelp:

Hei Ronny!
Well it looks like you have done a lot of work trying to find Anders and family.
It helps so much when you give all the info you have found!!

My idea is that you send an email to the public library in Philadelphia.
I suggest you keep it short for now..
looking mostly for Andrew Kenneth (Kenneth?) Westervick born 1932 (Janusary 18??).
Give the names of his parents and the link to the 1940 USA census (Kenneth age eight).
And give those 2 last known addesses ( granite street and Knorr St)

Here is the library link
(use the contact form at the bottom)
http://libwww.library.phila.gov/contactus/contact.cfm

Good luck!
mvh
Patty
I hope you are able to write in English??

Thank you for the replies :) I will try to send an email to the Philadelphia public library!


I have tried to translate some of the text above to english. (there are more links above)

My grandmother Johanna g. 1930 have always wondered what happend with her uncle Anders Vestervik.

The salvation army in america have tried to help me, but they have given up. They sent me an email last week.

My grandmother and some of her cousins are still alive, and they ask my often i have found some more information, but i have not found anything more information in some time.


I have tried digitalarkivets brukerforum on digitalarkivet also: https://forum.arkivverket.no/topic/390- ... =vestervik


This is what i have so far:

Anders Aslaksen Vestervik, born 29.mar.1903 in Hordaland; Norway. Link (Anders on the top)

http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?i ... x_side=-40


confirmation in 1917: (Anders nr 13)

http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?i ... x_side=-46


My grandmother said that he went to america, the day after her mothers (his sister) wedding 01. july in 1922. He was most probably a sailor, so he is not to find in the emigrant archives. (i have not found him there)
I have found him in Philadelphia, where he married a norwegian girl in 1930, named Anne Breidok.


Link to familysearch: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JV99-8QB


His wife came from Gol, Hallingdal in Buskerud and was born 26.april.1893. She emigrated in 1927: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KXG9-TYW

They got one son, and his name was Andrew Kenneth Westervick and born in 1932.


In 1940, Anders and Anne was probably divorced. Andrew Kenneth was living at a orphanage in Philadpelphia runned by the salvation army.


Link: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KQJT-LJT I have not found Anne or Anders in the 1940 census.


Andrew Kenneth visited Norway with his mom, and in 1974, Anne had moved back to Norway and died 27.feb.1974 in Gol. The death certificate were sent to her son, living in Granite street in Philadelphia.


The family in Norway, don`t know if Andrew Kenneth had children, or if he is still alive. The salvation army have given up, and they send this to me last week:

Regarding the above referenced, I regret to inform you that I am now closing this case. Despite my best efforts there has been no contact and I've exhausted all search efforts.

This is some of the messages i have received from the salvation army:

I went to the Department of Buildings site in Philadelphia, PA and the house is owned by someone else. I tried the telephone record on file, but no response. I will send a letter.


I have research several Westerwick's around the country most recently another update yield some news address. Awaiting responses.

..due to Hippa guidelines we are not able to access any medical information and a Death Index check did not yield any results. I have researched several like named individuals and sent letters but no responses at yet.


------------------


So this is difficult! So if someone can help me with this it would be great!

The last they heard of Anders, was that he sent a letter to his parents Aslak Abelsen Vestervik and Anna Mathilde Gjuvsland, begging them to send money for a ticket home, but they did not have money to send him, and then the war came, and no one have heard of him since. (This is a bit strange i think, because i would think that he as a sailor could have been taken work at a ship and like that, returning back to Norway)



Anne and her son visited only her side of the family in Norway, and they don`t know what happend to Anders or Andrew Kenneth.

I checked the online obituaries in two different databases for that time period and there is nothing. I suspect that if he never married, there would be no one to give information for an obituary. I found one site online that stated he died in 1995.

He visited Norway in 1950.

Thank you Margit :)

So he came to Norway so early as 1950, i did not know that.

Regarding the dead in 1995, i believe you have found that in myheritage?

A relative of Anne Breidok Westervick, Ola Helge Rust have written that he died in 1995. But he have said to me that he was not sure on that information.


I forgot to write one more thing, and that was that Kenneth Andrew was probably working with ships, either ship electrician or ship engines.

I have now sent an email to the Philadelphia public library :)

Hei igjen!
I see that Ann-Mary found a Social security death index (SSDI) for Anne Westervick d. feb 1974.
I wonder how that is possible...since you have said she returned to Norway and died there...and a death certificate was sent to her son in the USA.
Normally a person is listed with the SSDI if they died in the USA.

Ronny, sorry!
I asked if you could write in English, wondering if you could send an email to the library OK.
My Norsk is not perfect...but I can read it OK.
It still helps that you wrote out your story again..paa engelsk!

mvh
Patty

Can you please tell us if they help you get an answer to some of your questions....

I also wonder where are the parents during the 1940 census...
Obviously Andrew and his mother are together in 1950!

There is no doubt in my mind, this is your Andrew. He died in August 15th of 1945. He had Hepatitis and heart problems. He was still married to Anna.
Let me know if you have any questions. :wink:

Thank you so much for the information!! That was quick :)

So Anders (Andrew) died of hepatitis and bad heart in 1945 and still married? Can you please show me the link to your information, that would be great!

It is strange that he is not living with his wife in the 1940 cencus, can he be in hospital maybe?


80 hours pr week, that is many hours! And so interesting to read the 1940 census information!





Beneath is the answer i received from the library: But when i try to go the genealogy link, nothing happen :(

Hei Ronny,
The library link worked for me..
But their answer was not helpful...they only gave you other links to research yourself...
You wrote a nice email to them Ronny...but they did not work with those details.


I suppose this is a big library...many libraries will answer questions like yours with more details.
Sorry this library was not helpful.
If I could find a local (smaller) library in Philadelphia they might be more helpful.
I'll see what I can find.
I think it is important to also explain where Anne and Andrew (age eight) are living in the 1940 census...
question...do we think that Andrew Kenneth died in 1995?

Looks like Margit found some great answers about Anne (1940 census) and that her husband, Anders, died in 1945.

YES...Anne working 80 hours a week is a lot in 1940...she must have been supporting her family.
No wonder Andrew age 8, was at the Salvation Army in 1940.

mvh
Patty

Hei Ronny,
They want you to use Ask a Librarian which I use all the time when looking for information. They can be very helpful or they sometimes will not help at all.
Try Ask a Librarian at this website: http://libwww.freelibrary.org/faq/aska.cfm
I have checked and the Oddfellows Cemetery they buried him is no longer there with the exception of a few people. They moved a lot of the bodies to two other cemeteries.
The information I found was from ancestry.com and familysearch.com
I gave you copies of ALL information, the census and two pages of the death certificate. You can download them to your computer and print them out. :D

Hi!
Actually my uncle was buried in that cemetery (it is located in NJ across from Philadelphia)
Burial of my uncle was 1995.
Margit, when did they say the cemetery burials were re-located?

Thank you all so much for the help! I was at work, and that is why i did not see the link for downloading (we have some kind of barrier for download).

Yes Margit, there is no doubt that this is my Anders Vestervik :)

It is so great to finally know what happend! I`m going to call my family and tell them the news about Anders.

So the last thing to discover is what happend to his son. I hope we can find out what happend to him also.

It would also be great if it`s possible to find Anders in the 1930 and 1940 census also!


I will send an email to Ask a librarian also, and hopefully there will be some information for me there :)

I will look and see what I can find. Why did you think they were divorced?

The divorce was something a relative of Anne thought he remembered. That must have been a misunderstanding, since the death papers shows that he was married.

I wonder about divorce as his wife is listed as 38 years old on his death certificate and Anna would have bee 52???? He could have married another Anna/Anne

I only saw the name of his wife and thought that was Anne Breidok Westervick, but with that age 38 years and Anna instead of Anne, it could be that he was remarried.

Hei igjen
What about this spelling for Anders, b. in Norway 1904 listed in 1930 USA census as
Andrew Westrich
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XHZT-G4J

I know he married in 1930, but I do not know when...this Andrew is single in the 1930 census...
Then I am wondering about the immigration year...1912...could that be an error...
Or is this the wrong person??

mvh
Patty

Hi Patty :)

It could be the same. But it is 10 year difference on the immigration year, since Anders (Andrew) came there in 1922. I don`t know how accurate they are in american cencuses? Or is it normal that they can misperceiving information?

Hei Ronny!
Oh yes..there are many errors in the census records.
If this is a different person (not Anders) he should be "somewhere" in 1920 (since immigration is 1912)...I did not find this "other" Andrew in 1920....

When the census info is given to the "census taker at the door" of the family, someone may give the wrong info ("Andrew" may not have been home at the time of the census).

So yes, the immigration could be off by 10 years, due to an error.

mvh
Patty

Hi again :)

My family name Stolen are coming from Voss, Hordaland.

We are the only one in Norway with that family name. The Stolen name from Balestrand, is actually written differently in Norway, Stølen.

Sorry if I repeated information that you already knew, but in order to help properly I need to get the whole picture. :wink: I suspect that he has died. I would suggest you try Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness - RAOGK USA. Perhaps someone in the group may live in Philadelphia and can look at local records such as death records. https://www.facebook.com/groups/raogkUSA/
