Hans left Kristiana on March 10, 1899 Click Here His most likely ship of travel from England was the Cymric arriving March 25th (Ellis Island list the arrival as March 15 but that was the departure date). I wasn't able to find him on the list but Jørgen Mons. listed above him is in the passenger list at Ellis Island. It is possible that he worked on the ship and wasn't listed or that portion of the manifest didn't get microfilmed.
You can find and view the microfilmed manifest for the Cymric here

Amanda is listed with a birthdate of September 1875. I think eibache has the wrong Amanda.
In the 1875 Norwegian census there is Amanda Magrethe Augustsdatter her father is August Andersen Click Here
In the 1900 census August's family includes a son named Olav and daughter named Lovise. Click Here
I can't get into the parish registers to check this Amanda's birth date but that could help confirm if this is the correct Amanda.
Also a possibility for Hans Click Here

Yes! My mother says she had a sister Lovise and a brother Olav, and possibly a sibling named Ole. She was the oldest my mother said, of 9 children. Oh, and a brother Theodore too. I think that's the right Amanda indeed! |

This is all so fascinating, and raises more questions. I looked at the birth record for Anne Lovise (my mothers great-aunt, so my great-aunt once removed?) and I noticed that one of the witnesses had the surname of Abrahamsen. Interstingly, Anne Lovise' big sister Amanda (my great-grandmother) married someone named Abrahamsen. I'm wondering if the two familes knew each other for many years.
In 19th century rural Norway, did 'love marriages' exist? Or, were they arranged marriages by the parents? |

I did find the manifest of the Cymric, arriving in NY in 1899. It does have a departure date of March 15th too, but instead of Kristiania it lists Liverpool (UK) as the departure point. I guess Liverpool was a major 'hub' for trans-Atlantic voyages? It lists his occupation as 'sailor' which agrees with my mother's account. Also, it lists his destination as '65 Hamilton Avenue' in Brooklyn. I know 65 Hamilton is in the 'Red Hook' neighborhood of Brooklyn, and that this was a major haven for sailor's with boarding houses, relief societies, dispersaries, and bars. Perhaps #65 was a sailor's home, and that's where he went. Because alot of men on the Cymric on that voyage where going to that same place. |

Abrahamsen means son of Abraham - most likely Abraham was a common name at that time - notice that August Martins wife was a daughter of Abraham and you will find near and distent family members among the godfathers - for instance
for Karl Oscar we find Abraham Olsen - could he be Anne Helvigs father? - yes he was!
for Hans Anton we find Mathilde Andersdatter - could she be a sister of August Martin?
for Olaf Theodor we find Trine Henrika Abrahamsdatter - could she be a sister of Anne Helvig?
and so on. Further look into the parish records could give the answer. |
