Hi,
we should have sticked to only one topic, but still:
Carpenter Thorvald Roraas (20y) from Grebstad, Chrsand, Norway arrived on Ellid Island on May 01, 1912, with the ship Oscar II, sailing from Christiansand, Vest-Agder (county), Norway on April 20th.
As closest relative is mentioned mother Oline Roraas, Grebstad, Chrsand, Norway. (Chrsand=Kristiansand.)
He is going to a friend Anders Aursebak (?) in Sheridan, Ill.
I found him twice in the emigration records from Kristiansand, he could have changed his mind the first time.... ? :-) March 09th 1912 April 19th 1912
Albert Andreas Andersen Røraas went 7 years earlier, on May 18th 1905
Here is the family in the 1900 census: click here

If anyone find any information on the Roraus aka Røraas family it would be wonderful even the farm as well
Anita, have you looked at the links in the above message????
The link to the 1900-census shows that the family lives on the farm "Røraas". Click on the link above, and you will find everyone who lived on the farm at that year.
And you will find the same farm in the 1865 census for the parish/municipality called Søgne in Vest-Agder county. You will find Anders and Alberts father there, and plausibely what is their grandfather, Jens Andersen (widower) born ca. 1803.
And for the future, stick to this topic...!

| If I am following my genealogy correctly, Thorvald J Roraus is my Great Grandfather. Talvin Judine Roraus(his son) is my Grandfather and Terry James Roraus(Talvin's son) was my father. I have some census and other info available if you need it. |

The birth year for Torvald Jørgenius in the 1900 census is wrong, it should have been 1892, see his baptismal record #5
His parents Anders Jensen and Olene Andrea Olsdatter were married Nov 2 1876, see #7
Anders Jensen was a widower and his father was Jens Andersen. Olene Andrea Olsdatter was born out of wedlock and her father was Ole Andreas Olsen.
The 1900 census is not correct for Anders Jensens birth year, he was born in 1839, see #12
his parents were Jens Andersen and Anne Taralsdatter, Røraas.
Olene Andrea was born 1851, see #80
her parents were Ole Andreas Olsen at Birkaasen and Aase Jørgensdatter Iglebæk.
Aase Jørgensdatter was born Aug 24 1827, see #5
her parents were Jørgen Poulsen (born 1794) and Aase Aanonsdatter (born 1794), Fjeldkjøen.
Baptismal record of June 22 1794 for Aase Aanonsdatter see left hand page
top
her parents were Aanon Christensen and Aase Salvesdatter.
