I am looking for information on my grandfather, Nikolai Ellefsen, I have found him on the 1900 census living with his mother, Jorgine Ellefsen, and brother , Helmer Johan Ellefsen in Austre Moland, Sagbakken. After that I can not find information on his emigration to the U.S. I am not sure if he was married in Norway or the U.S. My mother was born in 1910 and my aunt was born in 1908. I am unable to find them in the U.S. census until 1930 when they lived in Camden. N.J. I would like any information on Nikolai Ellefsen and his wife, Hanne Terkelsen.
Hanne Terkelsen was born on 12/3/1872, her parents were Johan Severin Terkelsen from Hafstad, Tromoy and his wife Tobine Hellingsdtr. In the 1900 census she was listed as living in Kristiania, but was also listed with her parents in Barbu, Solbakken farm.
Thank you for any information. |

There are alot of clues in the 1930 census:
Nickolas Ellefson, born 1877, immigrated 1904, carpenter in shipyard, age first marriage, 29 (1906), born Norway
Hannah M., born 1875, age first marriage 31, (1906), immigrated 1904.
Thyra, 22, born New York
Emma M. Fill/Fitt, daughter, 20, born New York
Emma M. Fill/Fitt, grandaughter, 1, born New York
1920 census, Philadelphia, Phildelphia, PA
Nicholas Ellefseon, carpenter born Norway, immigrated 1906
Hanna, born Norway, immigrated 1906
Thyra, 12 born NY
Emma, 9, born NY
Finding them in the Police Protocols would be a recommendation:

Thanks Carla, I guess I missed it in the 1910 census because of the spelling of the last name, his father's name was Ellev, so Ellevsen, is probably the real name. The Thress is probably my Aunt Thyra and Emma is my mother. She was born in 1910. Both of them were born in Whitehall, NY probably Kingsbury County, NY.
I appreciate your help.
