Hi Jan Peter. A very good possibility. When I go to the library I will look at the physical pages of the census through Ancestry.com Library Edition to see if they say what year they emigrated. If it is 1870 then these might actually be them!
Thank you. I will let you know. |

Hi Erik,
The source for the farm name Trøym was the Emigrantar fra Hallingdal by Botolv Baklien. However, Ola 1835 is listed in the Hemsedal Slektshistorie (1923 edition) under sondre Trøym. So this information is from two different secondary sources. Sometimes in US people using the name Trøym for their surname have spelled it Troim. There are lots of good online searchable databases at www.usgenweb.org for Mitchell County, Iowa--cemeteries etc. And since you mentioned Ancestry for your visit tonight, some of the Iowa state censuses available at Ancestry have lots of information also.
Happy Hunting,
Jackie M. |

The 1880 Census did not ask what year they emigrated and there was no additional information in the physical census that would be helpful.
The odd thing is I could not find this family anywheres after 1880. It's like they just dissappeared. Could they have returned to Norway?

Hi Erik,
The Slektshistorie book did not mention that Ole and Liv left from Norway nor that they came back on tour to Hemsedal.
Canada always seems to be a destination when folks disappear from American records...

Thank you Jackie. It would be nice to find this family as Liv was a first cousin to Margit. It is odd that Liv and Ole did not settle in Douglas County, MN where Liv's brother, Eirich Sletto raised a family.
But I have pretty much ruled out that possibility.
It is strange that Liv got married the same day as her brother Eirich, and that both couples immigrated together on the same boat......but then split up somewhere after that....... |

Ronnaug Helgesdatter Berg and sons Lage and Erik Lagesen
...going back I found this passport record for these people. Can you see if there is any more detail as to destination other than Amerika?
I have been unable to find this family in any census information..... |

Hi Erik,
Not too much help but Hemsedals Slektshistorie says that Ronnaug was born about 1824 and she married Lage Erikson from Valdres. He was a "hjulmaker" and further "den forste, some drev det slags haandverk her i bygden. Holdt til som inderst i Berg. Blev ikke gammel* 1853 aagitt alder 50." Ronnaug as a widow moved to America with her two sons Lage born 1848, Erik born 1850.
Maybe 2 of them are here in this rather messy looking transcript

We are all having a great weekend, July is vaccation time in Norway.
Borås B - O in tow - R in road - Å; O in lot - S in sea
You can pratice on Borås here
Borås; Bor is coming from Borg/Fort and Ås means Hill; Hillfort, a "bygdeborg" fortress with steep hillsides where people from the nearby countryside could take shelter if a dangder threatened used from about 600 A.C. and earlier.

Kåarto. Thank you! I hope you are having good weather for your vacation. We are in Portland, Oregon and we are having nice weather.
I had seen the name spelled Borås, but then I had also seen it spelled Boraas. Is the <aa> the same as <å>?

The summer weather in southern Norway is very nice right now Erik.
You are right, AA is the same as Å.
Conserning familynames the old spelling AA is still kept in Norway, espesially as to endings on -gaard /-gård (-farm).
Both syllables for Boraas/Borås and Aas/Ås are used in Norway.

Hi Jan Peter or anybody else on the boards......
I am looking for immigration records for the following person:
Thron Olsen Branvold (or Grøv) age (18) years old, immigrating alone from Vang i Valdres on June 1, 1888......traveled to Kristiania where he boarded the S.S. Rollo which sailed on June 8, 1888. Thron listed his destination as Brandon, Minnesota.
CAn you determine his route after that.....and more specifically if his passage was payed by another and is that person listed?
Thank you
Thank you. |
