| Unfortunately the parish records don't seem to go beyond 1864, so I can't verify what became of the first son named Hjalmar (1866). Do you know where I might find this information in other records? |

| I am wondering why the spelling of my Hjalmar's last name seems to have changed when he came to America. It is Erickson on his naturalisation application. Is there any way to find the immigration information for when he arrived? It seems that he came to America in 1888 via New York. I have searched the ships records and have not found any entries for an Erickson, Hjalmar. Any ideas? |

I found her death record at http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_id=1279.
1864 death record in Tonsberg, entry 37, Oct 1/6. Looks like the correct one although I cant completely make out the father's name. Looks like Eriksen. What do you think? |

Hi,
I think you're right about that girl! [;) link
#37, octbr 1 (dead), octbr 6 (buried), barsel.. Mathilde Eriksen, 1 aar (1 year old), slagter Magnus Eriksen
barsel = maternity
slagter = butcher, which fits with the 1865-census.

I have noticed that Hjalamr was survived by a brother Julius E. Johnson in San fernando California when Hjalmar dies in Reno. Couldthis be another brother perhaps named differently, after the mother? Born perhaps later than Hjalmar?
Thanks so much for your help!! |

Do youthink that the Johannes living at the house in the 1865 census could be the paternal grandfather. Perhaps the brother Julius E Johnson was named after him? Isn't there a naming tradition in Norway for children in relation to parent's and grandparent's names?
Perhaps if there was another son born named Julius (perhaps 7/22/1890??) who then immigrated to the States, he took the surname of his grandfather Johannes/sen=Johnson. What do you think? |

I have found a Julius Eric Johnson in the California Death Index 1940-1997. The father of Julius is listed as Erikson and the birthplace 'Other Country'.
Date of birth: 12 Jan 1884
Date of death: 3 Feb 1959
SS number provided.
I will now search the parish records for Tonsberg and see whether there was another son born, Julius. |

I have found an obit for Hjalmar which states that he immigrated to the US WITH his father at the age of 15, after which he joined the 8th Cavalry and served in Cuba during the Spanish-American War. A 1900 Census shows Magnus (father age 67, widowed) and his son (Julius age 16) living at 130 Walcott Street in Brooklyn, NY, the same address as the one on Hjalmar's naturalization application. I can't find an entry for them on the next Census 1910.
Questions:
How do I determine when and where Juliane Karine Eriksen died?
How do I find information aboutthe 8th Cavalry soldiers, or Hjalmar's military career information?
How can I confirm that (I believe) Hjalmar met the young Adriana Lopez-Zias in Cuba during his time there with the Cavalry?
As I cannot find a marriage cert for Hjalmar and Adriana in the states, how can I search for one in Cuba?
How can I access the Tonsberg records for AFTER 1865 as there seems to be a void from 1864 until 1900?
Thank you!! |

You can access the Tønsberg records by renting the LDS microfilm that I mentioned in a previous posting. If Juliane died in Tønsberg, she would most likely be listed in the church records. Also, the moving out of the parish records would be in the church records.
The 1910 census only has a head of household index, not per person so it is a little harder to find people.
As far as your other questions, Cyndislist.com, will have lots of links for you to find Cuba and military information. You can contact Arlington National Cemetery, the U.S. Army, etc.
And I cannot stress enough that you order their social security applications, even if you do not find anything new, you will have something in their own handwriting.
Don't try to figure everything out all at once, you have alot of information already to go on. I have been doing this for over 30 years and haven't found everyone/everything yet. Some questions have no answers.

Thanks for the post. I have only been searching for 3 days, but already I am addicted! So fascinating!
I have ordered the SS apps as you suggested, so I will wait to see what those say.
Thanks again.

Some of the Tøngsberg parish records have been digitalized by Digitalarkivet, but not unfortuately for 1873:

| The 1900 Census of Fort St. Michael, Alaska, lists Hjalmar Erickson as 2nd Lieutenant in Company I, 7th U.S. Infantry. In January 1901 he conducted a reconnaissance trip toward Eagle, Alaska (at the Canadian border). Lt. John C. Cantwell, commanding the Revenue Steamer Nunivak, which was wintering on the Yukon 1900-1901, accompanied Erikson for part of the way from January 3-22. Cantwell wrote in h is journal that Erickson "is a hardy fellow and cram full of energy." Cantwell's journal is at the U.S. Coast Guard Library in New London, Connecticut. |
