Halfden Trygve Sundbye was born in Norway in 1878 and (according to the Pasadena Morning Sun in 1926) "was born in Norway to seafaring people he and rose in the profession to become a officer of ocean ships."
In 1900 he was in Honolulu Hawaii, and 1/1/1901 was in Pasadena California. He became a naturalized American citizen in 1907 in Los Angeles, California. He settled in Pasadena where he married Alberdena Sophia Meyers and had a son John George Sundbye who became a dentist there.
I am completely at a block for his family! I have been able to reach back 6 generations for everyone else in the family but him!
Any help would be appreciated! Sheila |

After re-reading your post, I think I may have gone in the wrong direction . . .  |

| A US naturalization in 1907 will list information about Halfdan's origins in Norway that will allow you to research. You should get a copy of those naturalization papers, the entire set of applications, etc. |

A hearty thank you to all who have responded! How nice to not be alone in this search any longer... to Hopkins: can you tell me how to get a copy of the 1907 naturalization papers? Should I write to the Los Angeles department of ???
I do have the family that follows HT Sundbye, not the family of HT himself, or of Alberdena Sophia Meyers (although I do know thanks to the Pasadena Library that her father was Henry (Heinrich) Meyers.. |

I joined footnote.com to find out that HT's naturalization papers state that he arrived in Eurika CA aboard the ship "City of Adlaide" out of Newcastle Australia, however on the Adalaide ship website they do not list any sailings past 1886. The mystery just keeps coming!
It also statted that he is from Fredriksstad in Norway.... |

Here is a Trygve Sundbye in the 1900 telling, from California, and born in 1878. He could be visiting his parents. #56
His occupation is a Styrmand = shipmate. Digitalarkivet is not working tonight, so I can't check for his birth record.

In 1906 all naturalization processes were taken over by the federal government. There are entire books dedicated to the subject of US naturalization, obtaining and using those records for genealogical purposes.

Fredrikstad is in Østfold, Norway.

And both records has the same adress Les:
The 1900-telling has : " Hjørnet af Bingsgd+Glacisgade" By the corner of Bingsgd +Glacisgade, and the 1879 census has Glacisgaden. gd/gade/gaden means street.

This looks like Johan Jorgen's parents in the 1865 census: 1865
So now there are some ages given for Halfdan's grandparents. Jørgen was age 55, and Petro was age 54. They could have been married around 1840 or before.

Petroe Anne was born July 4 1812, see top of right hand page here
her parents were Hans Hansen and Olaug Andersdatter, Ramstad.
Has not found Johan Jørgen Pedersen Sundbye yet, but it is reasonable to believe that the marriage June 18 1802 at the bottom of left hand page here
is his parents, they were Peder Fridrichsen Sundbye and Johana Maria Jørgensdatter.
Their first child was Andri Fridericha bapt March 17 1803, see left hand page here
Jan 26 1806 they baptized their first son Friderich Anthon, see here
In 1807 they had their second daughter Juliane Maria, see here
Halfdans father Johan Jørgen was actually baptized Jørgen, see left hand page next to the bottom record here
he was born Oct 21 1810 and bapt Nov 4.
His confirmation record is #4
In 1801 corporal Peder Friderichsen-Sundbye was at Friederichstad Fæstning and Johane Maria was a servant for Johannes Rye.
