"Hi Trond
Do you know which of the children of Hans Nilsen and Lena Andersdatter who traveled to Wisconsin as quite young?
My mother talked about that there was at least one who traveled to America, which was common at the time.
Your cousin Berit."
These two, Nils and Petrea underneath are the two of Hans and Lena's children neither my cousin in Drammen or I have managed to track down.
Neither in census in Norway after 1875, nor in the emigration register.
All the other children of Hans and Lena lived in or near Drammen, as Hansen or Nilsen
Someone who can help whether one or both emigrated
Regards
Trond
