Oluf W. Pedersen, født 7. juni 1853 i Hammerfest

Forespørsel fra USA.
Noen som kan hjelpe med informasjon jeg kan vidreformidle til henne?


Hello,
I am sorry I'm writing to you in English, but I don't speak Norwegian, even though I am half Norwegian. I don't know who to contact in Hammerfest about my questions, so I am writing to you! Perhaps you know of someone who could help me.

My name is Mary Vige Harding. My husband and I will be visiting Hammerfest for a few hours on August 12, 2011. We are from California, USA. We will be on the Kong Harald Hurtigruten ship, which leaves Bergen on August 5.

My great-grandfather was born in Hammerfest on June 7, 1853. His name was Oluf W. Pedersen. His parents were Johan Peter Pedersen and Olava Margreta Jorgensen. I want to find out more about his family and where he lived.

My father, Richard Vige, talked to someone in a bank along the waterfront in 1989 ( while on a Hurtigruten trip ), and the person somehow got access to old records and told my father a little about Oluf.

My great-grandmother was born in Vadso, but we stop there for only half an hour, so there is no time to see anyone. Her name was Marie Johanna Pell ( perhaps Pelli ), and she was born on February 26, 1854.

I am hoping to meet and talk with someone while we are in Hammerfest on August 12 from 11:15 A.M. to 12:45 P.M.

Thank you so much for reading my message. It is difficult to know who to contact in Norway when I am in California! I would so appreciate any information you could give me about who to talk to. Feel free to pass on my e-mail address to someone who might know about my great-grandfather or great-grandmother.

Most Sincerely, Mary Vige Harding

Hei

Finner familien til Oluf Wilhelm i Hammerfest i 1865.

Finner Olufs foreldre og to søsken utvandret 3/7-1872.

Olufs søster Jette Jørgine emigrerer året etter med mann og to barn 17/5-1873.
Emigrerte hele familien?

Finner Maria Johanna Pelli i 1865 sammen med to søsken som begge er født i Finland, kan Pellinavnet komme derfra?
Er bare disse tre med dette etternavnet i 1865.

Mvh
Marit

Kan dette være Oluf og Marie med barn i Astoria City, Clatsop, Oregon i 1900
