Hi, I'm researching my 3rd Great grandfather Martin Stenerson He was born around 1854 and immigrated from Norway in 1886 . He changed his name totally . His last name was Andersen . He showed up in the 1900 census in Wisconsin . See I can't find him at all before 1900 in the United States . I believe his name was Martinius Andersen , but I can't prove it . if that is his correct name his parents are Anders Stenersen and Susanne Erkisen. I'm looking for any information that might help me . I'm thankful for anything . Thank you so much for your time. Talony |

Wel, I'm sure you've come across these links, but still; I put them up here:
Martinius Andersen, census 1865 for Gaaserud farm in Sande, Vestfold county.
Martinius Andersen, emigrant from Oslo in 1886. Occupation seaman, 32yrs old, residence America.
It does actually seem likely that someone named "Martinius Andersen" would change it to Martin Stenerson...
People in Norway started to change into a fixed lastname during the end of the 1800's, so he could have taken the lastname to his father...

He is listed in the California Death Index Click Here He died March 12 1929 in Shasta County CA. If you haven't already, you should get a copy of his death Certificate to see if his parents names are listed
