HI! I realy need help getting information on my Great grandparents. Their names are Jonas and Anna Tevik. They came over from Norway around 1900. They had a little boy named Hilmer and Anna was pregnat on the ship. I know that while in Minnesota, they lived in Staples. They had more children here. I can't seem to find any information about them regarding the ship they were on or how to get informantion in Norway about them. I would be so happy with any help on this matter. Thank you!!!!

There is only one close match in the 1910 US census - a Jonas and Annie 'Tevak' in Cass County, Minnesota. Listed with 4 children surviving (of 5 total born) Halmar, Helen, Andrew and Margarite - the oldest son listed as born in Norway all the younger born in Minnesota. Jonas is listed as 30 years old, Annie as 32 years old and the three members of the family from Norway are all listed as immigrating to the US in 1903. There is also a 'brother' in household listed as 28 years old Elias Tevak.
In the 1920 US census the family is listed as 'Tenik' or 'Tenick', Jonas is a 40 year old widower with children Helmer, Helen, Andrew, Margarite, Emma, Daniel, Alma and Albert still living in Cass Co., Minnesota. Jonas lists that he immigrated to the US in 1903 and became a naturalized US citizen in 1909.
(I have no idea where a location like 'Staples' is in Minnesota, have never heard of it.)
Do you have information about where in Norway they may have come from? |

| Thanks so much for the information! The town of Staples is up north in Cass County. I believe that they lived in or near Kristiansund Norway. I know that Jonas had Brother Peder and a sister Anna that stayed in Norway. He also had a brother named Albert that came to America and went back to Norway. I hope this helps! Thanks again for responding so fast for me!! Jodi |

Thanks so much! I found out alot of interesting information! I like it because some of the information is in English. The farm that they lived on has a different name then theirs. I wonder if it was owned by someone else or, if the name is more of my family.
Thanks again!! You were alot of help!

| Interesting family information and relatively accurate - Jonas Tevik was my great Grandfather; he lived in Duluth Minnesota during his final years in the 1960’s and died early 1969. On occasion he would come down to Minneapolis to visit his son (my Grandfather) Andrew Tevik who passed away a year after retirement in 1974 in New Auburn Minnesota and my Grandfathers wife, (my grandmother) Elvira is still living (under assisted care) in Shakopee Minnesota. She will be 99 years old October 2007. My Father, David Tevik lives in Chaska Minnesota and I (Mark) live with my Wife ToniAnn in Tempe Arizona. We have a son Sean Tevik who lives in Scottsdale AZ. I remember Jonas when I was a child, very friendly, loved kids and had a thick Norwegian (mixed with a touch of northern Minnesota) accent. My father David had two brothers, Dennis and Norman Tevik who have both passed away in recent years. I have a brother Scott who lives in Chaska MN and my two sisters, Robin and her family in Minneapolis and Kim and her family in Shoreview Minnesota. |

I thought it would be intereting to see the birth record for Hovlik and Elens first child, Marit in the 1900 census, here Marit Mathea is as #91.
Note the years in the column for the parents names 1851 - 1851- 1876 which are birth years and year of marriage. The marriage record is #1
Again note that both Hoflik and Elen is 25 years old - they were born 1851 and not 1857 as the 1900 census says.
In the 1865 census you will find Hovlik (Haflik), his parents and siblings here
and Elen, her parents and siblings here |
