Hello,

I am trying to find the emigration for Christ J. Foss, and also his home in Norway.
This is the information I have:

Christ J. Foss, born August 1862 in Norway
Father: Christian Olsen
Mother: Maren Grue

Christ arrived in America between 1879 - 1884 (every census gives a different year).

His first son, Christian, was born 2 Sep 1895 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

He married Caroline Peterson on 24 Oct 1889 in Minneapolis, Minnesota and lived all his
life in Minneapolis.

He died 3 Jun 1930 in Minneapolis:

I hjave all the information about his life in America, but am hopig to find information on where he came from in Norway.

Mvh,

Brian

Hi Margit,

Thanks for the tip! I am 99% sure this is the correct person.

Here he is leaving Oslo in 1883

The records for the family are all over Vestre Slidre, Oslo, Akershus.... but I am finding them and getting things put together!

Thanks again,

Brian
