Hjelden family
Hello,
These are the children of Jens Halvorsen and Anne Haagensdatter from Hjelden, Leinstrand, Sør-Trøndelag:
Halvor, born 1 Jan 1869
Olava, born 5 Jun 1870
Kjerstin Marie, born 17 Oct 1872
Haagen, born 28 Mar 1875
The children all left for Minnesota as follows:
Halvor Gjelden - 18 Apr 1888 (to Minneapolis, Minnesota)
Olava Hjelden - 29 Apr 1891 (to Duluth, Minnesota)
Christine Hjelden - 16 Sep 1891 (to Minneapolis, Minnesota)
Haagen J. Hjelden - 26 Apr 1893 (to Minneapolis, Minnesota)
I am looking for any information about the children AFTER they arrived in America.
We think that Halvor might have used the name "Henry Johnson" in Minneapolis. We do have info about Henry Johnson, so hope that we can prove he is the same person as Halvor Jensen by finding out what became of Olava, Kjerstin and Haagen.
The birth record for Henry's daughter, Anne Marie, is why we think Henry might be Halvor Jensen:

Re: Hjelden family
Marriage of Olava Hjelden:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903 ... cc=1803974
Witnesses:
H. Hjelden (Halvor?)
K. Hjelden (Kjerstin?)
The 1920 census for Ora, Nelson, North Dakota, shows that Olava was born in June 1870 and arrived in Norway in 1891. I would say this proves that This is the Olava Hjelden born in Leinstrand on 5 Jun 1870. I woudl also think that H. Hjelden is Halvor and K. Hjelden is Kjerstin.
Olava's grave does prove she is the sister of Halvor:

So now we know that Halvor Hjelden was in Minneapolis in 1892. But did he come "Henry Johnson" as he is listed in the 1895 census?

Re: Hjelden family
The marriage seems to be the right one. The Solberg family in census 1900, living in North Dakota, https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M9VK-KD1.

Re: Hjelden family
Thank you for your repla, Maud!
I did just find proof......
The 1890 Minneapolis City Directory lists:
Hjelden, Halvor, laborer, boards at 302 26th Avenue North
The 1892 Minneapolis Cuty Directory lists:
Johnson, Henry, laborer, boards at 302 26th Avenue North
So this is proof that "Halvor Hjelden" became "Henry Johnson" in 1892!
