Searching for Antoniette Aslaksdatter born 10/04 -1832 in Rødenes,Østfold in Norway, and her husband Ove Martinius Andreasen born 03/26-1848 in Rødenes,Østfold.
They left Norway 06/08 1869 and their destination was Red Wing. |

Red Wing Minnesota is in Goodhue County. The 1880 US census shows a Martin Anderson, 32 yrs old, born Norway with wife Annette, 26 yrs old, born Norway and 2 young sons - Alfred and Joseph. Also in the house is a John Hovlund? (hard to read) who is listed as uncle.
I was going to capture a URL link to the 1880 census extraction on the Digitalarkivet - but the site must have gone down temporarily. |

For Alfred Anderson, the Minnesota death index shows his birthdate as 13 Jul 1876 and he died on 13 Jul 1966 in Polk Cty, Minnesota. It also says that his mother's maiden name was Hovland.
In the same index, Joseph Ingvald Anderson was born on 26 Jun 1878 and died on 26 May 1960 also in Polk Cty, Minnesota. Same mother's maiden name.
If it's the correct family, great! If not, we'll keep searching!!
By the 1900 census, Alfred and Joseph were working at other people's homes. |

I am so sorry, but I do not quite follow you here,
Martin Anderson could be Ove Martinius' new name, but he would be at the age of 37 by 1880- not 32- and the wife Antoniette could have called herself Anette in the new country,but she would have reached the age of 48 by 1880-
are you guys anwsering someone else? |

The 1880 census for this Martin Anderson, indicates he was born in Wisconsin, and the children's history also say the father was born in Wisconsin.
Annette's age doesn't match very good either.
Seems to be a tought one here!

It is tough. What farm were they living on before they left Norway? If it's something to do with Hovland, the 1880 census taker could have made mistakes with the ages. With so many name changes, etc, it really is hard to find common names in the US census!! The children of the Martin & Antonette were born in Minnesota, and not until 1877 & 1878, so if they left in 1869, it would fit. I found some of my ancestors in the Census as being born in Minnesota when they were actually born in Norway or Sweden, so it isn't always correct.
You did say that Ove was born in March 1848, so in 1880 that would make him 32. |

| I looked for an Ove but there seems to be none even close to matching. There is a Martin Anderson age 35 (close) and wife Nettie age 35 (could be a mistake) with a daughter Bertha age 8, living in Red Wing, Goodhue, MN. What did Ove/Martin do in Norway. The other Martin was a farmer, this Martin is a Railroad conductor....Anything ring a bell? |

Well, I found an Antonette Aslanson arriving in New York on the ship Cambria on 26 jun 1869. I still can't find an Ove Martinus Andreason.
Does the name Oppen sound familiar? There is a Martin Oppen on the same ship age 25. |

Tami,
What about the person listed above Antonette Aslanson on the Cambria.? It says Ole Andersen, but it could be Ove Andersen. The birth years are right for both of them. Did they come over with other family, because these people came over with some of his family. Anders, Merrill, Niels and August Andersen. I think these are the right people.

| I must be tired of looking at records! I didn't even see Ole Anderson! Wow! That would be awesome if we actually found the correct people after all this!! Were there more people that left Norway with them? |

I found Ove Martinus Andreassen's birth record....#14 on the list
http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:NBN:no-a1450-kb20060321010483.jpg
His parents are Andreas Anderssen and Elen Karine Olsdatter.
His birthdate is 7 Mar 1848, I guess it could have been changed to Ole in the American records. |

Wasn't he looking for information in the U.S.? Kemb can find the 1880 census on Familysearch.org
They left Norway on August 6, 1869 (from where?) so the June 26, 1869 date is too early. |

Yes, Kemb was looking for info in the US but I was trying to backtrack because Wanda & I had found an Antonette Aslanson in the passenger list, so I was trying to find if some siblings left too!
Of course, I was reading the date as June 8, 1869, not Aug 6, 1869. |

Karibeth,
As you can tell, there is some confusion here. I think you were giving us the American way of listing a date, when giving us the date that they left for the US. Was 6/8/1869 meant to be June 8, 1869 or August 6, 1869? You gave us Ove's birthday in that fashion, that's why I think you meant June 8, 1869, for their emigration date. Also, do you know where they left from and if they were traveling with other family members? If we can trace other people that might have been with them, it may make it a little easier.

Antoniette Aslaksdatter from Rødenes,Norway
