I am looking for the parents of one GUSTAV O. HAUGLAND,
who was born on March 5, 1895, probably in Bergen, Norway.
He was supposed to have passed through Ellis Island,
USA. in 1911. I have been unable to find him on the
passenger lists maintained by Ellis Island. Nor can I find
him on the 1900 Norwegian census.
I have found GUSTAV, and his family, on the census
records for Wisconsin, USA, but so far I have not been
able to connect him to a family in Norwqay.
There may be a possibility that the name he used in the
US, was not the name he was born with. That would also
explain why I can't find him on the Ellis Island passenger lists.
Is there any means , that anyone might know, of linking him
to his Norwegian family?
I would greatly appreciate any assistance.
Thank You

Gustav Olaj Kristiansen Haugland (17) from Haus, Hordaland, left Bergen on 22 Feb 1912, headed for Wisconsin.
Census-1900 for the Haugland farm in Haus, Hordaland.
Gustav K. Haugland from Ytre Arne, Norway, arrived Ellis Island on Mar 08, 1912, sailing on The Mauretania, departing Liverpool.
His destination was brother Hilmar Haugland in Wisconsin
So what kind of searches have you performed??  He is listed as Gustav Haugland in all the sources you refer to:
Gustav Olaj Kristiansen Haugland - Emigration records from Bergen
Gustav K. Haugland - Passenger records from Ellis Island
Gustav Kristiansen Haugland - Norwegian 1900 census.
Here is his christening record, which confirms the dob.:
Source information: Hordaland county, Arna in Haus, Parish register (official) nr. D 1 (1887-1898), Birth and baptism records 1895, page 68.

My thanks to everyone.
I am slowly learning the various components that make
up Norway.
It really helps to know what a farm is, what a parish ts, and son on.
Your responses have armed me with a great deal of
information I never thought I could ever find
Thanks again

My grandfather, Johan Haugland, was Gustav's brother. They lived on a farm called Haugland, just a mile from another farm called Kvamme. Ytre Arne was the nearest town, but the name was later changed to Ytre Arna. The town is now a suburb to the city of Bergen, but back then it was a small industrial town with a textile factory called "Arne Fabrikker". The factory was located there because local hydroelectric power was available - i think it was built in the 1840s. My grandfather lived on the Haugland farm all his life, and I live just a few miles from Haugland and Ytre Arna.
Once in the mid nineties i visited our Haugland relatives in Madison Wi, but we later lost touch. We also have relatives in Oregon who descend from another brother of Gustav and Johan. He died young in the Spanish Flu, but his grandchildren and great grandchildren still keep in touch. Some of them pay regular visits in Norway. |
