I am trying to find information on Ivar Sevald Fisko (Fisko was farm name and surname), b. 1901 in Rogaland, Avaldsnes. Possibly married to Borgny fra Jaeren.
His elderly daughter is looking for any records of him. She tells me that he was a Merchant Marine and came to America. She doesn't know when, except before her birth in Reno, Nevada in 1933.
He was deported back to Norway in about 1938, and was possibly put in a mental institution (for murder in USA).
She is looking for his death certificate, marriage certificate, census - anything. Also looking for more info on his siblings. Before he came to United States or after he went back to Norway. She is also wondering if she had half siblings that she never knew about. (census, etc.)
His parents were Svend Toresen, 1866-1941 and Bolett Ivarsdtr 1869-1945. Siblings that lived past infancy: Tore Mandius, b 1893; Matias Edolf, b 1896; Ingerid Marie, b 1898 and married to Georg Larssen Midtgard; Marta Elisabet, b 1903 and married to Alfred Edvardsen Alme; Svend, b 1905 married to Barbro Lokna and Jakob, B 1908 and married to Benny Tollefsen, Skare.
All of this info according to Bygdsbok Avaldsnes I.
The farm name was Fiska and Ivar took the name Fisko. |

Ingerid Marie is #15
Marta Elisabet is #23

This appears to be Ivar Fisko's brother (birthdates match Avaldsnes, Rogaland records):
1) June 1917 WWI draft registration:
Thor Fisko, age 23, born Aug. 29, 1893 in "Agvaldnes," Norway. He has filed first papers for citizenship; lives in Ames, Iowa; works as a bricklayer for Erickson Bros. in Ames; is single. He is described as having a stout build with blue eyes and light brown hair.
2) Social Security Death Index
Name: Thor Fisko
Date of Birth: Tuesday August 29, 1893
Date of Death: February 1980
Est. Age at death: 86 years, 5 months
Last known residence:
State: Wisconsin
Location of Last Benefit Paid:
City: De Soto; Victory

The 1925 Iowa census shows Thor Fisko, age 31, his wife Ruth, age 22 and daughter "Hellen," age 3, living in Garber, Clayton County, Iowa. He has been a resident of the US for 15 years. The census states his parents are Svend Fisko and Bolette Overson.
St. Joseph's Cemetery (Elkader, Clayton County) records show Thor M. Fisko, Sr. was a US Army veteran of WWI, born August 29, 1893 and died February 14, 1980. He actually has two gravestones:

According to Helen Lucille (Fisko) Knoke's Feb. 2005 obituary, she was born in 1921 and was survived by a brother, Thor Fisko, Jr. (born about 1925) and a half-brother, Tom Fisko.

I think I have found his tombstone with photo at Vår Frelser, Haugesund. Ivar Sevald Fiskå 1901-1963 and Borgny 1916-1990. Because this has rather recently happened I do not want to publish the photograph of the tombstone.
Search just Ivar Sevald without surname unless you have the special Norw. letters, and you will found him and Borgny in Gravminner, Landssok http://www.disnorge.no/gravminner/index.php |

I am granddaugther of Ivars sister. My aunt talked about Ivar just a few days ago, so I got very excited when I saw this.
I will inform her tomorrow and if you would like to write or call us, that would be great. I have skype also.
My aunt is 77 and remember Ivar when he came back from the states. She thought he had children in USA, but did not know for sure.
She would be the cousin.
Looking forward to hear from you,
from Mariann |
