My great granmother
Britta (Bertha) Larson (larsdt) Lillevik
b21 Mar 1861 Norway
d31 Aug 1929 - Oswego,OR
was married to
Oluf Anderson (Swedish)
b.4 Feb 1855 - Sweden
d 18 Oct 1909 - Oswego,OR
they had 4 children all born in Norway
Lena Anderson - female
married Elling Artzen
Orphie Anderson
married Carl Connant
Thelma Anderson
married Chester Lewis
and
Nita Anderson
(Singer married more than once)
They emmigrated to USA
to Oswego,OR
before my Grandfather was born -
Frank Oscar Anderson was the first to be born in USA
There is a story that the Family Name of Anderson
was changed from something like Granada to Anderson when they emigrated from Norway to USA
I think I may have found
Britta (Bertha) in the 1900 telling for 1235 Voss
# 1809
says Bertha Marie Sjurdtr Lillevik
I believe the farm name is Evanger SB
This is my brickwall
Any help would be appreciated

Evanger is the name of the parish within the Voss, Hordaland district. SB is an abbreviation of the old name for Hordaland. Lillevig/Lillevik is the name of the farm.
A Brita Larsdtr is on the Lillevig/Lillevik farm in Evanger, Voss for the 1865 Norwegian census -
1865 'Lillevig' farm in Voss
You've taken your listing from starting with a Brita Larsdtr to a Brita Sjursdtr without explanation of that drastic difference...
There are HUGE amounts of information published and available for the Voss and Evanger areas of Hordaland and even entire clubs of persons in the US who are descendants of Voss/Evanger Immigrants.
Can you provide a working URL link to your finding of her in the 1900 Norwegian census please?
'"Granada" must have something to do with the Swedish side of the family. |

I think the Britta Sjursdatr was wishfull thinking - I am new to this reading in the Norweigen and It was very late when I came across that name- Britta Larson Lillevik is what I have in my records.
Thank you for the link to 1865 Lillevig farm in Voss
I appreciate it very much |

The 1910 US census shows Norwegian born "Bertha Anderson" (48 yrs old, widowed) to be living in Clackamas County, Oregon. Her 6 children still living in her home in 1910 all list their birthplace as Oregon.
Bertha lists her year of immigration to the US as 1890.

You may be interested to see Brithas baptismal record, it is #21
Her father was Lars Sjursen and the mother Ragnilde Andersdatter and they lived at the Lillevig farm.
As noted in the 1865 census her father was a merchant.
The marriage record for Oluf and Britha is #10
Oluf came from Bohuslen, his full name was Oluf Leonard Anderson and he was born in 1854. His father was Andreas Bognildson.
The family left for America 1890, see #18-21
Your Lena was Inger Helene, see #10
Ragnild, see #38
was born in 1882, not 1883 as noted when they left Evanger.

I am not sure of the origin of the "Granada" - I only learned of our Swede history recently - as my grandfather did not claim it since the sweedes let the nazis cross through the country to attack Norway - I have found the family once they arrive in America - Oswego Oregon - I have them on the census and other records here - I do know that Frank Oscar Anderson was the first American born and that he had 4 older sisters born in Norway before they immigrated to USA - he had 4-5 other siblings born in Oswego Oregon
Frank Oscar Anderson b 1891
Arthur Anderson
Leonard Anderson (my fathers namesake)
Emil Anderson
and
Agnes Anderson
Frank Oscar Anderson
m Jul 12,1918 in Petersburg, Territory of Alaska
to
Hjordis Sofia BANG
and they had 4 children all born in Oswego,OR
before they moved to California |

You really should clarify the US location as Clackamas County rather than just Oswego. Oswego Oregon doesn't show up in most atlas listings and it makes things much more difficult if you only list the name of that obscure precinct in Oregon without the county name.
It is possible that the name like 'Granada' that the Swedish side of the family earlier claimed was from a Swedish farm or miliary name. Study about how to research in Sweden to learn about that. 'Bohuslen' would be a Swedish location -- you should study Swedish resources.

You have to do the research one step at a time - it can be very very dangerous to just try to use the term 'husfader' to construe a family relationship. Take another careful look at the ages of those men -- doesn't that make you question that??? Re-think it carefully.
You can continue your research for the Norwegian side of the family in Voss and Evanger resources --

Thank You - very much all of you who have given me information
I started this search in 1999 after my husband passed
Oluf & Britha ANderson have been my brick wall as all I had were family stories many times removed - and I do not speak or read Norweigen or Swedish.
Thanks again - I am truly grateful for all your help |

Maybe you also would be interested to know that Olof Leonard Andersson is registered as moving into Evanger in 1880, see #2
he came from Foss parish in Bohuslän, Sweden.
It has not been mentioned earlier, but Olof was a railway worker.

The LDS Library Catalog lists that they have the church records for Foss parish (Sunnervikens judicial district), Göteborg och Bohus, Sweden available for the years 1599-1896 on reels of microfilm.

It was the right farm Hopkins found out abowe.
Here is the family on Lillevig in 1865.
Brita Larsdr. age 5 had three elder brothers, Sjur, Anders and Simon.
Simom Sjursen, the owner of the farm, married to Ranvei Andersdatter was Lars Sjursens elder brother, one son Sjur Simonsen age 32 was helping the father with the farm, unmarried.
Lars was "Handlende" a merchant/trader.
Guri Larsdatter age 25 is a "Tjenestepige" servant and Lisbeth Johnsdatter and Anna Ellingsdatter are both welfare recipients.
Widow Barbro Nilsdatter "Fĝderaadskone" was the former owner of the farm, she made a contract when she sold the farm to Simon which secured her free room and food for the rest of her life. If she was a relative this records dont tell.
Voss municipality is located to western Norway in Hordaland in the nortern part of the county.
