Does anyone know of any descendants of Seselia/Ciselia Margrete Zacchariasdtr (Brustad) (born 1855 on the island of Ytteroy) and her husband Karl Henrik Pedersen (born 1852 Stornfinland). Their children were Carl Sigfrid (1882), Birger (1884), Anna Nicoline (1886), Henry Johannes (1888), Arthur Nikolai (1890), Ane Fredrikke (1892), Marie Olava (1895) and Sunniva (1899). Seselia was the youngest sister of my great grandfather. He was born Iver Zacchariasen (Brustad) on the island of Ytteroy. He emigrated to the UK and settled in Swansea (Wales), where he was known as John Brustad Nielsen. I am visiting Tromso in March and would like to meet any descendants who may still live in Tromso or nearby.

You could contact the Tromsų church (click "Send E-post"), and ask who is paying the ground rent for the grave. It should be someone in the family. If there is no contact person for the grave, the grave is available for re-use, since the preservation time has exceeded (+ 20 years).



Name: Henry Pedersen
Born 08-Apr-1888
Dead 24-Feb-1954
Tromsų cemetery

Census-1900
