Does anyone know anything about: The Tarlason.
I am looking for information on Anna T. Tarlason born Jan 1834, Norway. came to the US in 1886.She had two sons, Olaf(Ole),born 1876,in Norway, and Sven born 1877,in Norway, and one daughter Tillie Anna, born Jan 1872,in Norway..
Is there any way of finding the town, that they were born in Norway?
I know that in 1900, they lived in Chicago, on Grand Ave.(Anna and Sven) Tillie was married to Thomas Burkemo. Ole was in Wisconsin.
I'm not sure that the spelling is correct- could it been Taraldson, or something else. Any ideas as to where I could look.I know that Anna had 7 children, with 3 living in 1900, all 7 born in Norway.
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
what's the lastname of her children?
Tillie Anna, born Jan 1872
Olaf (Ole), born 1876
Sven, born 1877
You've not heard of any possible location in Norway? Town, township, county...?

Their last name is Tarlason. They came to the US in 1885/1886
I think, they may have come from Stavanger. They went to chicago, Ill, like all the other Norwegians.
The spelling (Tarlason) is from the 1900 US Census, but I don't think, that's how it was spelled in Norway... maybe Tharlsson, don't know, just looking for places to look.
Thanks

I've checked US census indexes and find not even one entry named 'Tarlason' in any year, in any location. Even using broad search engine - find only one mention of any Tarlason anywhere - absolutely anywhere - and they claim as name for Scots -
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~clanmack/septs.html
Thomas Burkemo family shows up in 1920 in Michigan - but he doesn't appear under that spelling earlier in the indexes - according to places of birth and ages for the children - he should have been somewhere in Illinois.
You'd better investigate all the other US records that you can find. Some relative, or some obituary, or other record created while they lived might give you the clues you need. |

Ancestry.com have these entries:
Name: Anna Tarralson
Birth: 1834
Residence: <city>, Cook county, Illinois
1900 United States Federal Census Record
Name: Sven Tarralson
Birth: 1878
Residence: <city>, Cook county, Illinois
1900 United States Federal Census Record
I would assume the name in Norway would be Tharaldsen/Taraldsen, but it's not very much info to locate them in any census... 
The 3 children you mention are not born in the nationwide Norwegian 1865-census, and Anne's lastname might be different. She could have changed it to Tarralson later, taken for example from her husband.

Do you have any name for Anna's husband? Is he dead in 1900? Did she die on Oct. 31st, 1918?

I can now see the scanned image of the 1900 census for "West town" 11th ward of Chicago, Cook Co., Illinois. Thank you Jan Peter for giving a better idea of how the name might have been spelled. If I were to try to read that handwriting - I'd think they actually wrote Tarrolson...
Both Anna and her son Sven list that they immigrated to the US in 1877 - BUT then the page lists that they have been in US for 13 years. So either 1877 or 1887 - who did that math for them??? Anna listed as born Jan 1834 in Norway, a widow, married 48 yrs earlier, mother of 7 children - 3 still surviving. Sven appears listed as born Aug 1877 in Norway, single, works as day laborer.
1910 - the last name appears as Tarlson, still mother Anna and son Sven living together. I think this census lists both of them as immigrating in 1886 from Norway. |

| Hello! I`m looking for my family in the US. I know that there was a girl, named Julie, and she married Olav Taraldson (don`t know how you spell it). Both Olav and Julie were from Vivestad, Vestfold in Norway. They got two daughters, named Evelyn and Grace. Grace married in Liverpool, England. Evelyn married a man named Jo, and got a daughter named Andrea Paterson. |

An odd statement , more Norwegians went to Minnesota and Wisconsin than anywhere and quite a large amount immigrated to North & South Dakota and Iowa and other midwestern states as well as a large contingent that settled in Brooklyn, New York. Chicago was just one of the many places Norwegians settled.
