| Looking for information regarding Hans Mathisen and his wife, Emilie Martena. Don't know when they immegrated to US, but their daughter, Lena, was born in Christiana, Norway, 16 Oct 1888. Hans was born in 1861. Emilie was born 3 Aug 1854. They ended their travels in Denver, Colorado, where Lena married Thoralf August Durkop (Danish). |

The 1900, 1910, 1920 and/or 1930 US census enumerations should list at least an approximate year of immigration for each member of the family. It is always best to start collecting information from the latest most current dates and step by step searching earlier and earlier so you've probably already searched out those documents for other details - check those pages again carefully for the immigration year. That information will probably be of great assistance to those of us who would try to help you.

In the 1910 census, Denner, CO:
Hans Mathisen, 49, born Norway, carpenter, immigrated 1892
Emelia, 55, born Norway, 1 child, 1 living, immigrated 1891
Lena, 21, born Norway, immigrated 1891
1930 census, Denver, Denver, CO
Thoralf A. Durkop, 45, born Denmark, city policeman, imm.1898
Lena, 42, born Norway, immigrated 1898
Sylvia-17, Mary-15, Ruth-13, Thoralf A., Jr.-10, John-8, George-5, Charles-2, all born Colorado
There is more information on the free Rootsweb database, it appears the family name became Durkop.
Unfortuately, the immigration dates on census' are be very inaccurate, you note that Thoralf and Lena both show 1898. In the 1910 census it shows Emelia and Lena immigrating before Hans but I don't think this is correct, probably the other way around.

This appears to be them in the 1900 census but with quite differences in first name and ages of parents than the other census:
Arapahoe, Denver County, Colorado
John Mathieson, Born Norway Sept. 1855, ore sampler, married 13 years
Emily, born Norway Sept. 1867, married 13 years, 1 child, 1 living
Lena, born Norway Oct. 1888
All immigrated 1892
