I live in BC Canada, I am a decendant of Christopher Olsen of Oslo, Norway. He would've been my great grandfather, he came to Canada in the early 1900's. I don't know much more, just that I definitely have a number of relatives in Oslo that I would love to have contact with. a little more information, Christopher is my granfather Ernest Olsen's father along with his brothers Herman Olsen and Howard Olsen, if you have any information on any other relatives and more information of this Olsen family please get back to me on this information.......I would hope to some day meet more family (decendants) of Christopher Olsen
Thank you very much!!

hi I just learned some new information that could help me in my search and give someone more info to help me out! Well Christopher Oslen was once Olef Christian Olsen, I don't know how the name change came about but he married a lady by the name of Burel Johanneson, not really correct on that name but something along those lines! I'm not sure of Christopher's parents names.....this is about all I can add to this. Is there someone that might have an idea on this, if so please contact me.......Thanks!

Hi,
do you know approximately when he was born?

The list of Emigrants from Oslo 1867-1930 shows atleast two possibilities, but there might be more.

From Oslo on 29-may-1909, Ole Kristian Olsen, b. 25-feb-1885, dest. Canada
From Oslo on 26-nov-1910, Ole Kristian Olsen Tufte, b.12-aug-1892 dest. Canada
