There are no Hilton's in Bergen neither in the 1865 nor 1875 cencus'. The persons carrying this name are living in Ullensaker and the Oslo area.
But if your birth information is right: There are only one HANS born in Bergen in february 1866 - on the 24th: the son of Hans Guttormsen Haukeland and his wife Berthe Mikkelsdatter.
Maybe Haukeland was too difficult to pronaunce in english and was changed to Hilton? Everything is possible - but it doesn't sound very likely to me.
There are no suitable Hans' emigrating from Bergen in 1886. Are you sure about the Bergen connection??
Or do you have any additional information?

| Sorry must have been sleeping when I typed that one. he came to the US around 1860 and was born in 1846. Do not know the exact location he came from in Norway but it is believed to be Bergen. Again sorry for the mistake has been a long day. |

| it is believed that he was married to a Anna Marie (Johanson or Johnson) born in 1866 and had a sun Henry H who was born in 1888 in Norway. The only other info that I have is scetchy at best, is that he came from bergen and his wife may have been from lapland? |

| Just an idea: If your family history suggests that Maria was from Lappland, maybe her surname originally was Hildonen. It is a finnish name also common in Troms and Finnmark due to finnish and kvenish migration from northern Finland to northern Norway. I can't find any Hildonen in the Oslo/Kristiania emigration lists, but her name could have been norwegianized. The emigration list claims she was living in Oslo when she left for America. I should be possible to trace Maria/Marie Hilton (Hildonen?) in adress books nd/or censuses in Oslo. |

| Her maiden name we believe was Johanson or Johnson, her mother lived with them and her name was Karen B. Johanson who was born around 1842. Marie and Hans were married in Norway but do not know the date. There is also a Karel Knuden listed as mother-in-law born April 1841, who also migrated in 1888. The Karen B. Johanson that I mentioned earlier came over in 1987 she was 68 in the 1910 US Census. |

I think the Hans Jacob Olsen Askeroi found is him. Here is a marriage record for Hans Jacob Olsen Hilthon and Anne Marie Johannesen at the LDS Click Here

Again I thank you for your help, but have a question, have read some on naming conventions in norway and am still having trouble. If Ole Jensen was Hans Jacob Olsen Hilthon. How would I find Hans in the norway census. I think Forenamn is first name, and Etternavn is second name, and Fodselsar is birth year. can you tell me if this if corrent.
and where did the name Hans Jacon Olsen hilthon get from Ole Jensen or is Julius Olsen his father. |

Ole Jensen could not have been Hans Jacob Olsen Hilthon. Ole would have had to be Hans Jacob's father. Olsen meaning "Ole's son". Julius Olsen in this case could have been Hans Jacob's brother (I haven't gone into this material, so I don't know if you are using these names as examples or if they are real persons). Hilthon/Hilton is a farm name, and I would guess that the best way to find your guy is to search for the farm (and the nearby area) in the censuses.
Your translations are correct. |
