quote:I have an aunt who's name is Ada Johanne Woldseth born in Trondheim Norway on April 17, 1919, died in Brooklyn New York USA. My mother said she was adopted in Norway. Can you find out anything about her?
- late answer, but maybe worth while.
Ada Johanne Wolseth is most likely Ada Johanne who was born out of wedlock April 17 1919, see #59. Her father was unmarried cigarshop owner Ingar Bakke (1889) and the mother unmarried girl Julie Alvilde Johannesen (1892).
The image below is a printed version of a letter received by my g-grandfather Olaf H. Solem, the Cunard Line agent in Trondheim. It was signed by Emil Woldseth with family and Ethel Woldseth. Their last residence in Norway was at a place called Leangen in Trondheim.
